Recently AT&T files a lawsuit against Verizon and it failed. So then they are left with no other option than to battle it out their style. But surely those ads from Verizon, There is a map for that, were funny.

Here’s the answer from AT&T with Luke Wilson and he says, “Who offers the best 3G experience? Let’s compare.”  The Last part of the ad is funny. Also, they are giving 50% discounts on some Samsung Phones too.

Verizon Back on AT&T : The Truth Hurts, ha?

There were some cool ads thrown by Verizon on AT&T insulting it off, on it’s coverage limits, and especially the “There’s a Map For that” ads which made AT&T blow it’s temper so much to file a lawsuit against Verizon.

It wanted Verizon to remove those ads as they were misleading to customers and created a wrong impression of the network in public. There wars always go on, and it’s funny to see what different ways they come up to sue each other. 

Here’s Verizon’s answer to AT&T’s lawsuit,

AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts… AT&T now is attempting to silence Verizon’s ads that include maps graphically depicting the geographic reach of AT&T’s 3G network as compared to Verizon’s own 3G network because AT&T does not like the truthful picture painted by that comparison

So they say reality? I am damn sure, the court judge would be thinking his brains out to rule out the decision in favour of any one party!

Vodafone : The Worst Mobile Service Provider that just sucks

vodafoneVodafone is the worst Cellphone service provider i have ever dealt with. 

You might have heard about the Caller Tune Stuff? Yes, the one where the caller gets to listen the song when he calls the other person. Here’s what happened with me Today.

About 2 hours back i received a Text Message with the Following Contents,

As Per your Request Caller Tune has been activated on your Vodafone mobile phone. Rs. 30 will be deducted as monthly rental. To deactivate send CT to 144 (Toll Free)

What the hell? I never ever called them up or sent any message to put up any caller tune. When i was thinking about this i got another message which made to go haywire, really. Just read it.

“Pardesia Mr Natwarlal’ has been set as your Caller Tune for 90 Days for all Caller. To Search for more caller tunes sms song/movie name to 55655 (free)

Now let me rip it apart. 

  1. Never did i Ask for any of their kind services.
  2. Instead of deducting Rs. 30 they deducted a hell lot of money, and now my Balance is around -35 bucks. So i don’t think cutting off Rs 74 was a good idea.
  3. It says, canceling the Caller Tune is Toll free. First of all the song, Natwarlal watever is so sick. I wanted to cancel it off, which i can’t because my service is bared, and as far as i read it did mention somewhere it was Toll Free, Correct?
  4. Not just 30 Days, but the caller tune has been set for 90 days so for 3 months, people will make fun of. Good.
  5. When i call up Vodafone Customer Care, first off i get some Machine telling me “You Service is Bared…. bla bla..” After several attempts i am able to make it up to some guy, who asks me to call in the morning.
  6. What Piece of shit is this exactly? I can’t Call anyone. When people call me they get to hear some 1995 song? 

I need to say, Vodafone service just sucks. Well, this post is not just for me but for so many people who are facing the problem but can’t have a say. Not just 1 person, if we calculate even if they do such things to 1000 people they make good money out of it. This is just so sick.

And not this one problem. Drop calls are the biggest problems too. I wonder how much money they make by such things. 

My Message to Vodafone - 

If Your Listening, you probably know how much your service sucks. If it goes this way users will get fed up of your services soon. Your Service sucks.

Anyone else having such experiences? Share it in the comment to make your voice heard.

Note : I’ll Keep you guys updated on what’s happening with this matter.
