Most of u might have noticed already that u r being charged Re.1 for every SMS u send on holidays. :@

Called up Hutch Customer Care and got the dates when the SMS will be charged at Re.1:

January - 1st & 26th
Febuary - 14th
March - 4th & 19th
April - 14th
August - 5th & 15th
October - 18th & 21st
November - 8th, 9th & 10th
December - 25th & 31st

CC buggers claim they would rather publish in a local daily rather than inform every customer over sms as 'even though we send routine sms informing the price hike, many ppl dont receive them.' And since they want to reach out to a larger crowd and inform as many ppl as possible, they wud rather publich in a newspaper!

It disgusting to see how conveniently they neglect the fact that every lame offer about ringtones/singtones/caller tunes they send reaches everyone promptly and only the messages mentioning the price hike fail to be delivered. In their own admittance, they have received many complaints from customers of NOT having received such messages.

ANother point being, if they have so much of goodwill in reaching out to each n every 'aam aadmi,' why not publish the ad about special prices in all newspapers? or atleast leading national newspapers? why just stick to some lameass local daily that doesnt even have a worthy readership?

Frigging lamers.
 
Hutch keeps getting goofier by the day...

Last month the switched my plans without even informing me... they simply cut off my free sms... (of course they cut off my rental too...but who's gonna pay for all the messages i sent during the period :@

^^ i don't think airtel is charging yet...but mostly in these guys just wait for someone else to begin a trend...so just keep your fingers crossed...

From a buisness point of view though its quite a good move by hutch...i've ended up calling quite a lot of people instead of just forwarding a message...
 
Idea is a decent chor then i got an sms from idea that they will charge special rates for holidays couple of days back.

My mom has tata indicom, no sms price hike for indicom.
 
all b@stards.. good business move, correct.. but they're all b@stards anyway.. :|
 
AS long as they inform me of any change in tariff/special prices, i am OK. its the hypocrisy that i hate

all i need is one sms informing me about the special rates. I wudnt even botehr to send, or if i do, i already knw what i am doing. I hate to call up CC n find out the jerks 'gave an ad' in some BS newspaper :@
 
The worse is reliance, I missed the date of my prepaid voucher by 4 days, and those assholes deducted my whole balance of 1200 bucks...
 
Ya its true..I got an sms from Airtel about it a few days back..

For Airtel users, you can check the dates on which special SMS packs, etc won't work & you'll be charged Re.1/sms by sending "RATES" to 170(free)
 
hey.. my network aircel charges me only 25paise and the days are much lesser...

Christmas 25.12.2006
New Year's Day 01.01.2007
Valentine's Day 14.02.2007
Friendship day 05.08.2007
Diwali 09.11.2007

thats all...
and only 25 paise... 00.00 hrs to 24.00 hrs...
in a way i think its a good move its done to keep the networks congestion free...
and the rates are reasonable...

this new yr i was atleast able to make(once in 3-4 tries) and recieve calls
 
Yeah...
buggers put an add in local news papers last month (NOV 27th), not even in national dailies....
Hutch is worst in serving the customers, they cut everything without informing the customers,
And U will get 30-50 messages well within the due date to pay the bill.
