drabhayshah76 7 Report post Posted April 30, 2011 Hello friends, If Reliance CDMA has lost so much customers to other operators, its good for people still holding on to RCDMA because more port outs relieve the network from congestion to a considerable extent. This might result in much fewer call drops too. But again all provided if RCDMA is properly managed by our Anilbhai. Regards, Dr.Abhay Shah. Rcom has widest and perhaps best network, backed by dumbest, zero empowered customer care. Handset quality is another big issue in CDMA. In airtel I have seen them resolvng billing problem in a day and CC executive will revert all charges and also will offer 50 buck as bonus with apology. I have not visites airtel hub in last 2.5 yeears. Reliancei s just opposit, for every small reason they want customer to go to their store. Billing issue can never ever get resolved on phone for sure. Consumer will be looser in case rcdma looses customer base. Airtel is Chor. U cant deactivate any VAS in Airtel. They will continue to milk u even if u request the cancellation of VAS. Btw is your report based on Airtel Mumbai Service? Regards, Dr.Abhay Shah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shrik 9 Report post Posted May 15, 2011 Top MNP loser RCom OK with loss; to focus on value, not nos MUMBAI: If the numbers are anything to go by, the much-touted mobile number portability (MNP), that got kicked in from January 20, has not made much of a dent in the fortunes of most telecom companies, as only about 4 million out of 771 million users have dumped their operators in the first five months. While Vodafone , Bharti and Idea gained significantly during this customer-choice era, Reliance Communications (RCom) bore the brunt of the switch. But the Anil Ambani Group telco claims it is not keen on adding mere numbers, but adding high value customers. "It is true - initially we lost big time. And even now, the net numbers are in the red. But we are happy with that. Most of the numbers we lost (port-outs) are small value customers, while our gains (port-ins) are mostly high value (high Arpu or average revenue per user)," Anurag Prashar, RCom President (Corporate & Wireless Customer Service), told PTI. "Also, our MNP strategy is to get corporate customers and not small changes, which our rivals are focusing on. And we have been fairly successful in this too." In April, RCom has evened out the port-in and port-out numbers, Prashar claims. "So far, we have ported in a good 10,000 corporate customers." As per GSM body Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) data, as of April 28, RCom is the biggest MNP loser with a combined net loss of 10,70,747 users, out of which its newly launched GSM operations took the worst hit with 7,45,877 port-outs, while its port-ins stood at a low 1,30,167. I wonder if they'll disclose the ARPU of port-out vs port-in customers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted May 16, 2011 A typical low ARPU mobile user will have multiple connections and would just throw away the SIM instead of taking the pain and pursuing porting. So Reliance's claim is not fully admissible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So Reliance's claim is not fully admissible. Oh, Karthik ji... Why are you taking their words seriously??? Do you want them to be behaving like HariChandra's distant relative and say the following TRUTHs to PRESS people???? "Sir, We have lost so many customers because of our:-01. Very cr@ppy GSM network 02. Costly CDMA data plans 03. Useless CC and that too NOT FREE 04. We don't take any complaint seriously 05. We DONT launch EV-DO in all 1x towers and so NO better EV-DO also 06. We have a target to activate some random packs to some N number of customers PER DAY 07. We cheat whenever we gets bored 08. We launch cheap tariffs with great Ads and remove those benefits after few months without informing anyone 09. We mostly make fake activations 10. We ask an arm or leg of customer for a cr@ppy n/w locked CDMA phone 11. Our Nodal-officers are useless-thick_skinned-lazy-pigs 12. When customer un-sub a pack, we will do it and STILL continuously deduct balance for that service (happened to me) 13. We will ask customer to goto web-world for even a simple task 14. We attach our crazy-annoying-worthless 3G CRBT to all our GSM customer in our 3G circle without informing them 15. We will promote our cr@ppy GSM network only and neglect the good old CDMA... and for these reasons only, we have lost sooo many higher ARPU users and we gained some so-so scape-goat type port-in new users..."
