Airtel seems to rise up from the dark after so many days with their new campaign targeting the youth of India. When India is busy with cheering for Anna, Airtel makes a bold move to start a campaign with the youth and for the youth.
The main tag line for this ad comes from the concept of friendship which they claim as “Haar friend haain zaroori” .
Already there is much hype in the e-world as Airtel has mainly concentrated into socializing the idea. India’s biggest cellular service operator is now all ready to target the youth market with their latest pinch.
The story revolves all around the facebook world where they describe about the types of friends you have in your circle. Airtel hfz needs you to say what types of friends you have in your friend’s circle.
We have so many different types of friends – joke friend, poke friend, sms friend, mms friend, bla bla! . Yet some are close to heart and rest are worlds apart but one thing is common among all zindagu mein har friend zaroori hain yaar.
So if you have any special and interesting friend share it through facebook and you could win to Las Vegas with your friend or just walk away with daily prizes. Airtel has introduced an application through which you will be able to tag friends according to your choice and type of friend.
The more you tag your friends the more chances are there for you to win. Go to hfz.airtel.in and connect with facebook, select a friend, create a matching friend type and tag your friend type, viola! If your friend type is the most popular you win a trip to Las Vegas.
So hurry up and start tagging!

its very simple. statistics says it all. today sim is free. if airtel would have been worst,none have bothered to take airtel sim.it takes 2 seconds to break a sim.if airtel would have been worst,every new airtel sim would have been broken. none of this is happening though.thais simple logic proves airtel’s superiority. and those mnp people-who switched operators like garments-hoping to get biriyani in the price of chowmin…their situation is now just like this hindi proverb…… “NA GHAR KA, NA GHAT KA”

Me to using Docomo and BSNL. Airtel and Vodafone has good network but they are not loyal operator. I have idea too and its network is infact better than Airtel.
saurabh gupta August 24, 2011 at 9:43 am
for me vodafone is the worst operator continiously deducting my balance so i stop using it with tata docomo i dont face such problem of balance deduction and im using it since its launch……… now i m using DOCOMO and airtel but shurely i will replace airtel with BSNL

these days everybody needs cheaper and quality network …no doubt airtels network quality is tremendous but any operator can provide the same at the extremely highest charges like airtel is charging…i think bsnl is the best with quality at cheapest rates….BSNL BEST HAI MERAY LIYE…
karann August 23, 2011 at 7:32 pm
I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU, IT DEPENDS ON UR REQUIREMENT, AND NEED. DEFINITELY AIRTEL AND VODAFONE IN DUAL SIM IS THE BEST OPTION WITH NOKIA TOUCH AND TYPE DUAL SIM PHONES
Raaj August 23, 2011 at 7:07 pm
every operator has some zones where they are market leaders,like kolkata or gujrat or mumbai for vodafone.but there are areas where airtel is the leader like delhi or karnataka etc.It depends on your area guys,u can’t blindly say airtel is the best or others are bad….all operators have some drawbacks.
and to those uninor crazy ppl,
all u can say is this operator is very promising as far as tariff is concerned,but coverage?It’s still poor.A long way to go man.uninor needs another 2-3 years to emerge as a competitor.Till then the BIG BOSSES will rule.

hey bro plz don’t talk like a baby.me,my mother and my brother are also airtel users since the last quarter of 2005.because at that time there are no other good choice.but today I can prove you that in airtel 2g connection downloading speed is 8-15 KB/sec. with IDM in my hometown where docomo gives 20-35 KB/sec.all the time.I hope only you are a 100% satisfied customer of airtel.I don’t want to underestimate you,now a days neither airtel nor docomo nothing is best.it is totally depend upon your choice and requirement.

vodafone gives better GPRS speed but acc. To me airtel is much better.
1.)Airtel gives huge no. Of offers to me,
2.)not a single invalid vas deduction from my account.
3.)gives hello tune at RS. 20 per month, to my brother it is just Rs. 15/month.
While vodafone takes 4 hours to activate any bonus card.
Rohan Singh August 23, 2011 at 4:15 pm
According to TOI Vodafone has best coverage in Kolkata and is the no 1operator too. Airtel can not compete with the quality Vodafone has. What I wanted to say is Airtel is overall not good though Vodafone and Airtel both are known for unnecessary deductions.
Kaushik Roy August 23, 2011 at 3:54 pm
@Rohan Singh
Every operator has some problem with network and vodafone is also one of them
Just visit Charnok Hospital in VIP Road near Newtown you will see vodafone with zero signal inside that hospital and Airtel has full signal inside,also in Mehak-E-Punjab Restaurant in Teghoria vodafone has no signal inside
that does not mean vodafone is bad , no company can give 100% coverage indoor
But with Airtel and Vodafone in dual SIM phone one can get around 96-97% indoor coverage together as i am getting

you would be very pleased to know that i am a resident of kolkata and i hv used aircel,airtel,idea,reliance gsm(smart),vdfn. among all these in my opinion airtel is the best closely followed by aircel and vdfn. and shyambazar,every operator has some dead spots.
Suman Dutta August 23, 2011 at 3:14 pm
@Arup
what? did u read my total post? i use airtel gprs from 2006,when airtel had only one series of numbers in kolkata-9831 and vodafone(hutch then)-9830. and make it very clear that i am not talking about a particular place/time/location/handset. it is the cumulative average speed and service i am talking about.
got it?
Santu Sovan Mandal August 23, 2011 at 3:08 pm
@Suman Dutta
It seems to me you haven’t ever used vodafone in kolkata. Vodafone is way better than airtel in kolkata & comes at cheaper prices. My experience with airtel kolkata was frustrating. My cell was told as switched off when it was showing full network strength. Every now & then they would have network busy like issues & they would term this as ‘network upgradation(??)’. Never faced this issues with vodafone. The only problem with vodafone was their unreasonable gprs charges. But now it’s resolved & right now it’s giving 1gb more than airtel(Rs 98; 2 GB). Check out vodafone & I can assure you only one vodafone sim will suffice, no need to take 10 airtel sims.
Rohan Singh August 23, 2011 at 2:34 pm
@Suman Dutta
Airtel may be good some where but in Kolkata it’s Vodafone who is best in overall. If u r saying Airtel is best in Kolkata then I am sure you are not from Kolkata ….Seamless coverage? ? joke ..While roaming it becomes Vodafone and idea and some times disappears too ..In up east most of the villages are uncovered. And in Kolkata just visit shyambzr’s cyber cafe near Airtel’s office you will get zero signal …….None of your points are valid …
Arka Chatterjee August 23, 2011 at 2:17 pm
@Arup
I support you completely. I was also a customer of AIRTEL. But, I ported in Vodafone. AIRTEL wrong vas activation,very very bad gprs speed in EDGE area(which is huge costly, 1GB in Rs 98), worst customer care experience make me disappoint.
Arka Chatterjee August 23, 2011 at 2:10 pm
@Suman Dutta
I am a daily TT reader,not a agent of any company.
No bro, It is not the truth. I used most of the operators’ services except MTS(in Kolkata circle).I used Airtel also. But,I want to tell you,that,You are live in old-age!! Because,no such operator is here,who do not want to capture customers towards itself.All serve/ try to serve better than the others.Airtel service is no-doubt good but not the best.I am going to explain it.
Airtel is the 1st telecom company,who establish telecommunication in India(except BSNL)so,they have better infrastructure than the others. But,It is not as good as their high tariff and worst customer care and GPRS speed. When their is the question of Network or services with other telecoms, it seems 90 vs 80. But, When their is a question of tariff, it seems 90 vs 20(the other telecoms). It may be their strategy to hike tariff than others to show others that,”SEE, WE ARE THE BEST”. But, It is totally very very pathetic jokes, specially in this MNP-era!!
Except BSNL and AIRTEL, every player in the market offers various offers and thats really customer-friendly. Even Vodafone also offers some good tariff plans , even it has seamless coverage across India. and the offers is not like “kauwa biriyani”, which you told. because, I used it and I dont like “kauwa biriyani”.
See Suman,what you explain about AIRTEL(1. no call drop
2. superb voice clarity
3. all-india seamless coverage
4. never congested network
5. best clarity and user-friendliness in starting and stoping vas services
6. best speed among all gprs service providers
and many more…..),
is not wrong. but, others operators also offer those same, sometimes it is better than AIRTEL. A few new-comers has some problems,because of their lack of Infrastructure, not it stays for a long time.
You can see also,AIRTEL lose market share from 20th January(when MNP is started) and also did loss in year 2010 and year 2011 continuously.Idea and Vodafone is still lead in MNP.Airtel will loss it’s ground day-to-day and the fault is its wrong strategy.
After all, You may be a rich person or the reason is other, else you surely agree with me.So,I suggest you to use some other Sim of other operators.

@Suman Dutta
hope you are NEITHER a retailer/distributor/agent of airtel NOR paid by airtel to write this,but you are really a great joker yaar.you are totally a backdated user,or I guarantee it that you use airtel only for calling,you don’t have any idea about airtel wrong vas activation,too too bad gprs speed(I can prove you).
here nobody will support you.
karann August 23, 2011 at 1:53 pm
yes airtel is good
sri August 23, 2011 at 1:42 pm
@Suman Dutta
You simply cant say one provider is better than the other. Different providers has different quality of service at different locations. Unlimited reasons to talk about each providers QOS is good or Bad. Depends on handset and depends on peak time, depends on the position you hold the handset, location where you are speaking and another important factor is some people does hear the ther side if it is below 40 decibles…..somany reasons.
Nilanjan August 23, 2011 at 1:23 pm
Airtel is worst,BSNL is best…..
Wide network,user friendly tariff,no wrong balance deduction,Good 3g speed,,,,,,……BSNL u rocks,other network sucks…….
Suman Dutta August 23, 2011 at 1:03 pm
I totally disagree with above comments. You have to compare all aspects if you want to compare airtel with others. Look at the quality of the service of airtel.
1. no call drop
2. superb voice clarity
3. all-india seamless coverage
4. never congested network
5. best clarity and user-friendliness in starting and stoping vas services
6. best speed among all gprs service providers
and many more…..
in case of other operators..
1. congested network
2. call drop
3. gprs of no use
4. loads of wrong deduction
and many more……
remember, no lunch is free. you can have biriyani at the price of chowmin, but it would be kauwa biriyani.
with airtel’s seemless coverage,variety of plans,top-notch quality of service,

sourav you are right…with such a high call and data tariff i switch from AIRTEL to MTS..and now i suggest all my frends to use MTS because of cheap call tariff(Rs. 99 for unlimited MTS to MTS Local calls). Airtel why dont you make new ad with a slogan “HAR EK RICH FRIEND JARURI HOTA HAI”

WITH AIRTEL’S SUCH HIGH CALL TARIFF WE MUST SAY THIS SLOGAN :
