Onewallet from what I am told from Jet insiders, is not happening.It has not been marketed properly and customeers are unaware about the product. Saroj Datta is himself clueless about the product!
On the other hand I stay in Blr and have seen hoardings by KingFisher not only here but in Delhi. It seems a far better proposition for the sms savvy indian. I dont know how the serviceis doing, but if they promote it amongst their base.They should get better results.
