Airtel is the largest telecom business operator in India in gsm mobile network. From a poll result I can say that 35% (approx) of people in India is using Airtel.
Pros : Good Network Coverage. Reliability. Customer service. Lower internet charges. Good net speed in urban areas also.
Cons : Customer dissatisfaction. Unnecessary reduction of balance. At times poor service. Charges and billings. Not so attractive call tariff plans.

Many customers are accusing that they are cheated by Airtel. In 3G connection the technical support is also very bad. But all in all they have good network and also reliable in my opinion.23% of people are changing their number from airtel to others. But in my opinion Airtel is not bad as operator.

They are rapidly increasing their network and is available in most of the places in India. Though theirs customer service is not good but Tata Docomo is the cheapest mobile service provider. Over all, I would rate Tata DoCoMo the best in terms of quality and Value for money.

# Uninor

Uninor is very new in mobile network service market but they are offering very attractive plans for call charges which entices more customers to be interested in Uninor.
Pros : Average network. Inexpensive.
Cons : Unreliable. Not so popular among most. Value added service is poor. No good gprs plan.
Uninor network has poor coverage with low quality and unclear voice on the network, especially rural areas the network is very poor. So though they have some attractive call tariff plans and in my opinion they are not very reliable, so don’t go for Uninor.

# Reliance

Reliance Mobile is one of the leading GSM Service providers in India. Reliance’s network is the best in India till now. But only 9% of people are using reliance.
Pros : Most widespread network coverage. Well performing Internet service.
Cons : Poor customer care and support. Low maintenance billing system. Unreliable service. Unnecessary deduction of prepaid balance on offers and unwanted services.
Though Reliance has best network coverage and good internet service theirs service and customer care is so poor that’s why I will not suggest Reliance anyone.
