I use Orange. Its ok. I know people use BPL and even they say its Ok. Airtel is also Ok.

All are just "ok" none of them are great, but stay away form MTNL. Whatever they may proclaim, it sucks :evil:

Speak ORANGE - n e day.

Not only they have varied schemes [ofcourse otherz too have them]
Apart from which the customer service is good & 9/10 u get solutions to all ur probs satisfactorily.

By the way Mr.Tuxfan, why r u against MTNL, if i may know the reason.

My bother-in-law took a Trump card and it was the most pathetic thing I have seen. His cell shown full signal, he was standing next to me and I got the message that the user is out of converage area :roll: :evil:

That didn't happen once but repeatedly. He was almost always out of coverage area and we could hardly get thru even from MTNL land line :roll: :evil:

In a month he changed over to Orange and its working quite well for him. May be because an Orange tower is right over his office building ;)

Hutch [Orange] is recommended.

Recent reports in Economic Times says that BPL is almost taken over by Hutch. So now its going to be a tripartite competition in Mumbai - Orange/BPL, Airtel and MTNL in GSM and Tata, Reliance and MTNL in CDMA

BPL is the oldest Mobile service provider in India. It still is one of the better service providers. I am satisfied with their service. I tried calling their call center support at 2AM in night and got response.

Most old time mobile users have BPL service. Its MOTS is also one of the cheapest prepaid service provider.

Orange is gonna buy out BPL soon. And this question wont exist then. I use Orange though and i dont find any particular difference is service in Mumbai. Only thing is the brand image. And needless to say, with Oglivy & Mather at their beck and call, Orange is certainly cooler.
