How is Idea Cellular in Mumbai region?

[amish]

Mumbai Idea network is good. Buying SIM wont help right now as I have no plans to go out of Mumbai for atleast a month.

Idea cellular has good coverage and quality in Mumbai and is excellent in rest of Maharashtra and Goa circle.

Airtel is slightly better in Mumbai but much worse in RoM&G.

Idea has good coverage in mumbai but its not as good as vodafone if you travel outside Maharashtra.

You need to wait for 90 days after converting from prepaid too!

Haven you tested the network at the places you frequent?
Idea Mumbai doesn't have good indoor coverage IMO, at least that was the case for places I'd frequent. Vodafone is much better! Rcom+Loop was a good combo too!

Yes prepaid to postpaid is considered as MNP even if within same network.

They made me fill all forms and i-card etc.

Stupid rule I would say. Simple request via 121 should be sufficient I suppose.

Oh. I meant to say the same thing

Idea has one of the best rural network even in North delhi. Airtel is more of hype due to ads they show.

Same story here. Only operator providing 3G in 200+ towns in MH. Vodafone has covered only around 50 or so. Airtel benefits here because of Idea's excellent 3G coverage, thanks to ICR agreement.
