Vodafone India Mobile: Vodafone launch in India

Vodafone.in gave error
"Server is too busy"

:hystericaleems everybody is clicking the site seeing the ad on Star TV

^^^That isn't the scenario i guess, their website is not yet ready and definitely not fully functional...............

A company like Vodafone are expected to provide at least a working website. Problems like these are not acceptable especially on the day when you have launched your brand. Perhaps they under estimated the appeal of their own brand in India.

People who actually want to check some details/info can still access the better site:

Hutch

TV Commercials of Hutch (way better than the pathetic current vodafone ad):
Hutch

try opening http://www.airtel.com

that will be the best vodafone advitisment

Have you heard of My Hutch? If not, you seem to have concentrated on the Pug more.

Vodafone does allow you to access your "My Vodafone" page upon keying in your Vodafone number and your pass. This is same as My Hutch page.

My Hutch was accessing your Hutch Account from the database of millions of Hutch India customers.

Hutchison's 3 in the UK too had massive ad campaigns but failed immensely in its initial years, since they thought 3G would change lives of people due to high speed mobile content and broadband internet access.

By the way not everyone has website access or Internet access. Hutch is one of the biggest telecom operators in India after Airtel. So they had to get the message out quickly and fast.

Also brands initially face rejection, since we have high expectations as customers. I think we ought to behave in a mature manner, by giving them time to clear things out.

I say this on the basis of downtimes I have experienced whilst trying to pay my bills online. This has been a minor problem, not a major one though.

The Hutch page used to irritatingly open new windows (IE) or new tabs (Firefox) while choosing location for my account login.

So you see that there too, the Hutch branding was excellent, but the website access belonged to prehistoric page.

You wanna see, what Vodafone can deliver? Its one of the biggest ever operators in the world.
