Airtel vs Vodafone
Only Airtel’s GPRS service is good. Vodafone GPRS charges are highly unreasonable but when it comes to range & network vodafone is bang on target unlike Airtel whose network keeps on breaking specially in a local train.
But the biggest negative point of Airtel is their pathetic customer care. The idiots sitting in their call center don’t have basic mannerism to talk also when it comes to GPRS technical part they are simply clueless & please don’t even think of connecting to their hindi customer service … they suck big time as they cant answer anything beyond what is in front of their computer screen.
Use airtel only for their GPRS service otherwise Vodafone. This my opinion what about you?

airtel is flexible and fits all because it has a lot of schemes and plans which vodafone lacks.
network more or less same in kolkata circle but in mp and cg circle airtel’s network is the ultimate choice.
in case of mobile internet again airtel scores over voda by providing unlimited internet at lower cost but not in kolkata circle here the rates of voda and airtel are almost same.
well personally for me both the customer cares are hell arrogant and big and topclass fools.
for me vodafone is better only and only because it has a better coverage in international roaming!

VODAFONE IS BETTER THAN AIRTEL AS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP. NETWORK IS ALSO GOOD AS COMPARED TO AIRTEL. BUT VODAFONE CALL RATES ARE VERY HIGH AS COMPARED TO AIRTEL.

Dear,
I am doing for domestic BPO from last 3 yrs. I do want to knw few things that newly launched TATA DOCOMO provides 64k sim…which is also available on Airtel. But TATA DOCOMO sim is not supporting all mobile handset. Few NOKIA h/s ‘s are not supporting this sim. Even i am also doing for DOCOMO, we dont have any ans for the same.
Hence any technical guy plz. let me knw the reason, when its a normal 64k sim, not CDMA…hence it should support all h/s.. minimum where Airtel 64k sim supports by that h/s…
Plz. let me knw at “spe.burdwan@gmail.com”

hi people i am the telecom genius from new delhi,
i think that VODAFONE is the best service provider in India.
i was at the Airtel store and the customer care was damn rude. they dont know their manners. Vodafone is always Happy To Help. The GPRS,EDGE prices have also come down. In the price category, both Airtel and Vodafone are almost the same (of course VODAFONE being better). I have a iPhone 3G from Vodafone and a Blackberry Bold 9000 from Airtel, thus i have experienced both the networks and according to me, Vodafone is better than Airtel ANYDAY.
Thanks for reading this review.
PS- If you want to change your service provider, then try VODAFONE.

I think airtel is the best service than vodafone, because i had used vodafone prepaid sim card for 4.5 years, suddenly my Sim had deactivated without my permission even though i had submitted my documents. when i called to customer care or vodafone store they are giving simply unrevleant response which is not happy to me… I suggest go for airtel and I enquired, many of them suggested go for airtel……..

Sir ,
• This is a REMINDER for my earlier complaint dated April 6 Th 2010.
• Please note that I have still not received a RESPONSIBLE reply.
• Though I recd email reply in which I was told about iPhone 3gs Web site and its features, I also received a call from Airtel in which they told me to contact Relation Ship Center or call 12118.
It seems my email has not been read or attended to properly, attached along with is the email
On 8 Th and 9 th I was on roaming in UP (west ) , Uttrakhand, and Haryana,The iPhone3gs dint work at all, there was no NET connectivity no E or o icon was there, its always says NO SERVER CONNECTIVITY , NO INTERNET SERVICES etc
Note that iphone3gs is a device like Black Berry which needs a uninterrupted internet back up, I had Blackberry of Vodafone which worked throughout with EDGE icon….
NOTE :: I spend Rs 41500/- for iPhone 3gs to buy from AIRTEL , which promised me 500mb FREE for next 12 months .
• On My iPhone3gs I configured my business email and Stocks , BANKING and other IMs , I am totally dependent on it .
• It seems that AIRTEL has given a false promise and has played a trick to sell iPhone 3gs and make money , by giving false assurances.
• Its a CLEAR CASE OF CHEATING CUSTOMER.
• I am having a PREPAID conection 9815500517 , in which my money has been deducted since March 26th , the day I purchased iPhone 3gs , this is to be Accounted for too.
• I would need a TECHNICAL support from AIRTEL. (COMPARE SERVICES WITH VODAFONE PUNJAB FOR IPHONE3GS ON IPHONE 3GS HANDSET)
• I would appreciate if I get a proper reply from a Technical sound person.
• I would not hesitate to take my GRIEVANCE TO COURT FOR JUSTICE.and MEDIA
• UNHAPPY WITH iPhone3gs SERVICES FROM AIRTEL

Sir ,
I am proud of being citizen of a country having Entrepreneur like Sunil Mittal.
My son recently bought a Iphone 3gs (PUNJAB ) Chandigarh on the day of its launch, there were numerous complaints as mentioned in attached email below.
My younger son too bought Iphone 3 gs from VODAFONE ,
• The services are compared and found that VODAFONE is much faster ( speed check CAN BE conducted )
• All applications were working normally on Vodafone AS compared to Airtel .
I can prove the above and you can judge for yourself.
Its a shame that AIRTEL is unable to provide services which are basic requirement to run a device like iPhone 3gs .
A reply with a solution would be highly appreciated.

Subject: iPhone3gs 9815500517 Punjab
To: 121@airtelindia.com
Cc: r1.chandigarh@airtel.in
• On 26 th of March 2010, as Airtel launched Iphone3gs, I purchased it .
• I got it on my prepaid number 9815500517 .
• I was told about 500 mb every month of Data Usage free on iPhone3gs by Airtel for next 12 months .
• My data usage package was activated on 31st March 2010,after following up very hard with the Airtel showroom, sector 35 Chandigarh , from whom I purchased the iPhone 3gs.
• The services are very erratic and annoying , the internet does not work always , it connects and disconnects number of times, the service icon sometimes shows capital E, and sometimes small o .
• On connecting application Safari for Internet browsing it says “CANNOT OPEN PAGE , Safari can not open page because it is not connected to internet “ Same is the situation with other applications.
• If connected the speed is very slow.
• The voice does not travel thru in applications like skype or fring . ( other service provider like Vodafone its very much possible ) .
• Iphone3gs should have a steady and uninterrupted internet services which Airtel is not able to provide as of now to me .
• I configured my emails and I am dependent on other important info from the use of this phone services which I am not getting .
HELPLINE
• Your helpline 121 is not at all aware of Iphone 3gs , they just waste time and I waste money calling them ( as it’s a charged servicesnow)
• You should have a separate HeLPLINE Service for support of I phone 3gs connections.
• As this phone has costed me Rs 41500.00 from Airtel , I expect a complete satisfied services.
I would appreciate if I get a feedback and response for my above problems.

vodafone network is quite good. customer care is also good compared to airtel. But GPRS is too costly in vodafone service. Where as Airtel GPRS cost is cheaper. But internet speed is too fast in Vodafone than Airtel. Also various offers are here in Vodafone which Airtel lacks. Overall, Vodafone should be preffered first. Then Airtel, Reliance and BSNL.

Hi,
Airtel is the worst service i ever used. I dont want to use Vodafone coz its not indian company, but for a try i used the Vodafone. i Own apple iphone 3G legally unlocked by airtel. i was ruined by the worst CC. i was been cheated everytime i recharge airtel gprs(499 to 98). Yet i love having gprs in my iPhone. I am going to make a website as http://www.airtel-sucks.com
They are rude, mannerless, cheater, and above all dishonest and cheap. THEY SUCK your pocket and never replied your mail by giving satisfactory answers. Their CC is worst and not even know the basic knowledge and dont know how to talk.
Vodafone vs Airtel.
AIRTEL a big Loser and vodafone wins.
Vodafone is not an indian company bu their service are far better than airtel.
May be it will help other people to make a choice between airtel and vodafone.
