I hate Hutch - the biggest cheater

[davinci]

Last october Hutch stared the 299 plan in which you have to shell out Rs299 so that u get 6 months of reduced tariff of 30p H2H, 60p H2M n Re1 H2L then they revised the plan and reduced validity to 4months and inc H2M charge to 75p. Now all of a sudden the have further reduced the validity to 3months. My point is that if they want 2 revise their plans then new plans should be implemented for new users who have opted for it after the revision.But those brats r also reducing the validity of existing users also as a result we are losing considerable amount of money.I opted for the scheme (6 mnths) because it was economical but now 299 for 3 mnths is not.i am really dissatisfied.What about you guys?isnt there a way to stop this????????

[dtox]

yes there is.. switch to airtel

[Pathik]

Actually all operators r cold thieves....
but airtel loots less..

Airtel never does such things. Infact i've quiet often found free talktime in my account for no reason (although that hasn't happened for some time now). You should really switch to airtel.

[kalpik]

Yeah,, That has happened wid the two 2 talk card too! Earlier it was 60 bucks and 1500 free SMSs, then they started charging 10p per SMS, then 20p per SMS and now they have increased the price to 69 bucks! I mean what in the hell is that!

[Tech.Masti]

airtel is doing such things here also in WB circle.....
first they introduced a promo of Rs.300 lifetime customers, valid for 6 months, and call charges A2A 30p, A2M 60p, and A2L & A2STD Re.1

some days later they increased this promo's call charges to A2A 30p, A2M 75p, and A2L Re.1 & A2STD Rs.1.50

again after some days, they decrease the validity period for the promo and make it for 4 months

and now from yesterday they again decrease the validity period to 3 months, i.e. for each month you have to pay Rs. 100 for promo which was costs you Rs.50 pm when introduced

actually all operators are big thieves

[~Phenom~]

^^Not all are thieves , BSNL is cheap & arguably best.

[Anindya]

Till now i had the most horrible experience of my life in Reliance. I dont want to elaborate about it. One way or the other all the companies r same. EXCEPT BSNL i am not saying they r real genuine people but atleast they dont try to fool or rob customers in any way. But if there is a problem then there is absolutely no help atleast till now but i think things r improving for BSNL.

[Lucky_star]

^^^ yup BSNL never cheats customers. Whatever offer they releases, they keep it. And not like Airtel or Hutch who keep changing their words. Reliance are also big cheaters. I took a reliance smart lifetime connection. After 3 months, they withdrew all their offers and changed the lifetime to 6 months

My friends bal drop from 500 rs to 100 rs whithout any valid reason.When he went to bsnl office,they can't able give the answer and my friend start aruging with them, then he was forcefully outed by security man.

[Lucky_star]

^^^ this problem happened to me also. Every month, 50 rupees got cutoff from my account mysteriously.They were not able to give a valid reason for it. After a period of repeated calls, I gave up. And after one year, surprisingly, 600 rupees got added up. Finally they did it.


@digit i am thinking, buddy, I was saying about the schemes which they releases, they don't manipulate it later.

Yah, that's why I didn't take their broadband connection. Cablewallah internet is much better in terms of service they provide

[~Phenom~]

^^can u please enlighten me bout cablewaalah Internet ??? What are the charges and speeds ????

[Lucky_star]

I am talking Cable DSL modem. You get internet on the same cable which connects to your TV. The cable operator sets up an internet service on the same cable.

I am having a 256 kbps connection. Monthly download 1 GB. Free download from 1 AM to 7 AM. All at Rs 350/- pm.

Moreover, I connected a splitter to the cable and connected it to the TV too. So, double benefit at the same price.
And their service is excellent. If I call them at 11 in the night, they come and repair whatever the problem maybe.

Now with Rs.100 topup they give Rs.40 talktime.

Its 110, buddy. 70 bucks goes straight in to their pockets
And when they released the scheme, it was some 90-95 rupees talktime on the same topup. And now see what they have done.
Once they get their required customer base, all their promises are gone. This is really disgusting.

[Stuge]

I have Tried Idea ,Airetel ,but for me Hutch is the best .

in b/w I'm on Postpaid 3years advanced rental .

[indranilmaulik]

Hutch rocks.
Postpaid Hutch User for the last 5½ years.

[Anindya]

Even i am on Postpaid in Cellone!

[Tech.Masti]

Hmmm...... Its true that operators takes much care for postpaid customers.............
I want to share a funny experience ...... My 1 friend use CellOne postpaid , he wants to activate unlimited GPRS on it, he told me to help on it cause he had very less idea on it ...... I call CC, asked them to activate unlimited scheme and surprisingly he told me that they have no such scheme :surprised: he cant activate it..... So after that i again call them 2/3 times but all CC answered me same.....
But BSNL giving Ad everywhere about it

[prateek57]

YES...........i Agree HUTCH Is The Biggest Cheater

[abhasbajpai]

hutch sucks, i was i postpaid customer but while roaming my phone was disconnected for non payment, the payment which hutch was asking was mere 500, and my security was 5000 rs, i surrendered the connection and asked for the refund of my amount, but after some time they asked me to pay 500 rs as the due amount through a lawyer notice, when i asked the lawyer for account statement, no reply form him. now i have filed a complaint in consumer court.

[fun2sh]

cant we do anything against there cheatin prats. wat abt CONSUMER FORUM. does any1 has knowledge abt it then Plz tell us so that we can use our rights there there lootin prats a lesion

[faraaz]

Dunno about cheating...but Hutch has a really sucky network...I don't get any signals at all at my place of work, which is about 45 kms from Bangalore...at the same time, my brother who has Airtel gets FULL signal. So does my Mom who has Reliance. And my Uncle who is on Tata Indicom.

My Manager has BSNL, and he gets full connection too... WHAT THE HELL!?!?

Now between Airtel and BSNL, who is better...I use prepaid only though...postpaid means my bill skyrockets...

Anytime i would suggest 'Airtel'.

[faraaz]

Fair enuff...and can someone recommend a nice prepaid plan available in Bangalore that I can use?? Airtel's normal call rates and msg rates are way higher than Hutch...which is kinda hy I chose Hutch in the first place.

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

BSNL has Cheap Call rates and SMS 0.60 Rs
Network Coverage is Good.

If you like to make calls then BSNL.

also for two numbers u can make calls at 10 paise per min !!
one BSNL landline and on BSNL mobile
