Discussion Airtel, Vodafone Idea Removing IUC Charges

[iDJ]

Buddy then me & the customer care ladies (sometimes gents also) are love-birds too because I talk to them everyday more than anyone else...

Exactly. Those food delivery personal, courier delivery personal, uber/rapido drivers, stock brokers and self employed finance advisors whose job relies on phone calls all are love birds too. Talking about love birds wouldn't it be better if they texted using emojis. I have been in several relationship in the past. Till date haven't figured out what exactly love birds actually talk about for hours. Meanwhile I get exhausted with a 2 minute call.

But still vodafone and airtel charges 1860 starting numbers... for ex:citibank customer care and eureka forbes customer... but jio is free for those numbers.

Checked Vodafone app and IUC is removed. It says unlimited calls to any network in the country.

One observation by me. Airtel (and VodaIdea) both filled up the gap of 56-day plan which was not existing earlier. However, what they wisely did was, price the plan Rs 399, same as Jio, with data benefits same as Jio (1.5GB/day), but included all Unlimited off-net calls as well. This again puts the ball back into Jio's court. Will Jio reduce the cost of Rs 399 plan now?

Also, a simple math shows that the Rs 599 plan for 84 days is now redundant. Because, (Rs 399 for 56 days) works out to be Rs 199.5 / 28 days, and (Rs 599 for 84 days) works out to be Rs 199.67 / 28 days. Usually, a higher commitment plan should be cheaper, but with the new plan launch, this is not the case, I dont see any case wherein anyone would not opt for Rs 599 / 84 days (unless for convenience).

This is somewhat different. As per the pattern it should be of Rs.449 range. But here same pricing of Jio with UL calls. I think Jio will reduce the price to 349.

Weird...I get those speeds near Dunlop which is in North Kolkata...I always get full bars from AirTel & atleast 3-4 bars on Vodafone which also provides good data speeds here...Voda last time I checked was providing 20-30 but since I only use AirTel for data, I didn't care much as many (if not most) people in India, don't even get 10 Mbps out of their 4G plans AFAIK...And they are going to launch 5G when providers can't even provide 3G speeds in many parts of the country...

If they didn't invest, then they will shut shop after Mar'20.
