This happens very usually. I am calling a friend and he / she has a caller tune ( or hello tune ) but, for about 5 to 10 seconds, what I get to hear is their service provider advertising their Hello Tunes .
Most of the times, the person at the other end answers the call before I start hearing the song. So, are you paying for that advertisement ? Really ?
I haven’t collected enough information to confirm if this is only on any particular network. Do you guys know about this advertisement ? Is it on all circles / states ? ( I experience this in Karnataka circle )
Is this fair ?

Looks like Docomo has reduced prices in Karnataka Circle after Airtel launched 3G. I am not sure when they dropped prices. The latest prices on their website looks lower than what it used to be when they launched 3G. I had bought a 3G SIM from Docomo when I bought the new Android phone. I was not so impressed. Waiting for some feedback on Airtel 3G speed and service.
And anyone heard of a company called Vodafone ? do they have plans of offering 3G sometime soon ?
