Hey Abhishek, If you want I can prove Vodafone as the best and airtel as the worst. I have so much of information about the both.
If you have enough of information about vodafone and airtel, then only do this kind of non-sense postings. Just by reading at one or two blogs dont ever mislead others.

Marcus, Orange was the brand name followed in Mumbai when they integrated the whole operation under Hutch brand name.

I have been opposed to the telecom companies for the foreign ownership. Infact, Eygptian telecom company Orascom also holds some stake in Hutch (and now Vodafone) through some very complex financial jugglery which I am not able to understand. It does not violate the licence norms but nevertheless, there is a lot of hedge money (or hot money as it is called) in the Indian telecom networks. Primarily, for that reason, I am not happy about the whole issue.

Read carefully in the link you posted...

I have written extensively about the mess in the telecom sector earlier on and this was a reflection of the angst...

Foreign imperialism? What foreign imperialism?

Hutch used to be Hutchison Essar, which started out as the Indian version of the British cellphone provider Orange UK and was owned by Orange, before Orange went defunct and turned into the Hutch we've known all this while.

I hate being spammed more than a Hotmail account every ten minutes on my Airtel cell number, which I never had to deal with when I had Hutch. Airtel's broadband is easily the best bang for your buck, though, so I do like them.

But anyway let me get this straight: You're upset that a British company is buying out another originally British company and using a lot of pink advertising?

mobile companies in india make money off caller tunes by implenting them on the caller's phone without informing them and taking the fee for it. most people don't even realize it. i am supposed to get the airtel bill this month with 30 rupees for the caller tune. and i dont even use the telephone connection. i use it for broadband.
