Virgin, though new to India, is giving a very good service to their customers. At present they are using Tata Services for their network connection, but soon they will have their own towers all across India. They have Nokia, Samsung, Haier and Hawiie Handsets with different ranges. As they offer only CDMA connection, we have no other option than buying the cell phones given by Virgin Mobile Ltd. However, they dont charge even a pie for activating the SIM which comes free with the handset. Whats more, the SIM is pre-activated with Life time validity, 500 free first local calls and free 500 smses.

Apart from this, the call rates are very reasonable. They charge 1 Rupee for first 3 mins when called to local phones and then it is 50 paise for the whole day even if you call landline. The same is for STD where the first three mins are charged 1.50 Rs, and then for next 30 mins, they charge 50 paise. Apart from first three smses which charges 50 paise, the next 100 smses are free.

And the most important thing which make them stand apart from others is that you earn 10 paise for any incoming calls that you receive (except from Virgin promos).

Altogether, I am very mcuh satisfied with the Virgin's service. I would suggest you friends to try Virgin once.
