I am yet to get back my 500 rupees which was debited from my account but the payment was later on rejected by Tata servers.
And I cannot get the add-on cards from this service.
Tata owns TCS. They have worked hard on beautification of the service. I wish they had worked on making sure that the system worked fine as well.
Their customer support sucks anyways.
Update: Money refunded. Thank god for that. Still… I am scared to use it again…
I am one interested customer. I think Virgin is one company which can bring back the coolness factor into the Mobile Market here in India. But Tata Indicom was the wrong platform to choose. The service sucks. The options of mobile phones suck as well.
The funny thing is that it is entirely possible that the venture would die down due to government’s interruptions…
One cool factor they are promising:
Incoming Free and Get Paid to Receive Calls: Get 10 paise for every 60 seconds incoming received from any phone
1800 209 7070
It is very hard to get this number. It is not even highlighted properly on their website. A dude on the India Broadband Forum found it on the company website!
Of course you can try out the email id! customerservice@tatacommunications.com

They have messed up the access page once again. Took me a while to find out where I am supposed to log in to see my details.
And their payment gateway is down at the moment. So, I cannot pay my bills. No idea how soon would it be back online.

I was sitting in CCD when we suddenly realized that the F1 race today would be over by then and we would have a new champion.
I wanted Lewis Hamilton to win of course. But there was this thing in my mind that wanted Ferrari to win.
Ferrari not Kimi Räikkönen I must say. And that happened some how. Big surprise. I got the news from Puneet who probably thought that I was pulling his leg by asking him the question on a SMS at 1 am in the morning.
He gave me the race result with a twist of sarcasm. I thought he was kidding and telling me the result I wanted to hear. I confirmed the result by checking the news on my mobile. Tata Indicom’s mobile internet comes handy at times like these. :)
And it was indeed a pretty big shock to see the totally unexpected result in todays race.
Hamilton would win the championship someday. He is the new Raikkonen considering Raikkonen has now removed the tag of great-driver-to-have-not-won-a-championship. :)
As for Alonso… He can go and do something that I would not like to mention here. Congrats to Raikkonen and a job well done to Hamilton.
PS. The race result makes me think of so many conspiracy theories on what could have happened in the backend. Ferrari being pretty much satisfied with the penalty applied on McLaren earlier this year is one of them. I would not say much on that. I am just plain happy that Ferrari would have the No. 1 car next season.
So you realized that we guys liked to use the night unlimited to do our downloads. So you found out that we were using the internet for something after all.
And that means not checking mails but downloading stuff from the net.
And you don’t like that.
So, the marketing geniuses in your top offices decided that we have to stop this nonsense. Let’s kill the night unlimited and lure the customers into upgrading to the more expensive 1999 package.
I have given it a thought but if I upgrade, I would end up paying obscene amount of money for something that you would kill again.
No thanks Airtel. I am now looking for alternatives. And if that means moving to Reliance or Tata Indicom… Perhaps I would.
The system used to be just fine. It was simple and understandable. Today when I was trying to pay my bills, the UI of the backend was totally changed. And it was changed for the worse. It took me double the time to go through the process and the website acted kind of funky.
Why change something that was not broken? Why change something to make it worse than before? Tata, that is so much like you!
This is the part 2 of the series. Hopefully the media would continue to cover this idiocy we live with in our daily life.
VSNL response: Take it or leave it.
Ajoy: See you in courts then.
