VF 3G Plans - too good to be true?

[slayer213]

I was going thru the VF website for the 3G BB plans here:

Vodafone 3G USB Stick: 3G USB Modem - Internet access for laptop & Desktop | Delhi & NCR

VF seems to be offering 'unlimited' access for 900 bucks. Also, they have a plan stated for around Rs 7K/pa with unltd usage. I called up CC & the guy over there said that we are offering speed of 21 mbps to select locations in NCR (im frm Delhi) for Rs 500 pm and there is no download limit. How cud this be possible???? So what this effectively means is that I buy a 3G dongle with an initial charge of the stick of 1600 bucks and then get speeds upto 21 mbps per month for just 500 bucks with no download limit!

This plan is for South Delhi, Central Del & Gurgaon as per CC.

Should i be excited? 20+ mbps @ 500 bucks 'unltd' - can anyone plz confirm their experience with this if they have gone for it in Delhi? I am most interested in listening to people's experiences with these plans.

This is only for 2G data and as a trial, available for 3G till 15th April.After that, they are going to launch dedicated 3G plans which will not have any Unlimited tariff...

Vodafone Mobile Connect plans are the old Edge plans.

Well these plans look good, but the usual info is missing. I don't intend to be a pessimist but this page doesn't mention anything about the speed like other providers would normally do - 3.6 or 7.2 mbps or even the advertised 21 mbps.These seem to be the old EDGE plans, since they had actually launched 3G sticks even before the 3G auction last year. They claimed that one could use it to access 3G abroad but not in India understandbly.If these plans are indeed true, Vodafone will file for bankruptcy soon, since they will never recover the money spent on securing the 3G license. Besides, the Vodafone-Hutch deal to escape tax was dragged to court and has further dented their balance sheet, since the matter is sub-judice.

Yep, the plans are very old and the page as well... They are not saying that you will get the 3g speec but they are saying you will get 3g stick... So don't be trapped, I have seen this page number of time in last 1 year and it is still same...

Don't expect anything good from Vodafone.......They are just good for nothing, GOD knows why they bid for 3G when they knew they can't provide affordable services.

I know one thing they are really good at, infact the best....................sucking money from customers

I think Vodafone is one of the best in

1) Coverage
2) Customer Servicing
3) Postpaid plans (cannot say prepaid - because i have never used any prepaid from any operator)

Just remember there is no such thing as A FREE LUNCH.

Above mentioned 3 points cost something ....and the same cost is passed on to the customer.

IMHO

I was offered to buy a Vodafone stick stating the same unlimited plan for 3G as well. I took the stick. When I found out that this plan is applicable for 2G network only I immediately asked them for refund which they refused. I approached there Nodal office which assured me that this plan will work on 3G network as well and I took that in writing in Email. Currently I am recieving 2G speeds only which is very poor and am waiting for 3G network in my area. However I dont trust Vodafone as they are the biggest cheats you can imagine. I will aprroach consumer forum if they refuse to give me same plan in 3G network when the network is in my area.

Vodaphone data card is capable of over 5 Mbps .If their 3G service is not available in your area, then GPRS speeds only.
You should buy data card from current 3 G provider like BSNL,Airtel ,Tata Doco mo,Idea etc.
Any awy Voda data card is worth the money ( Rs 1600)
Voda speeds in chennai are very good.
