![Uninor Offers Cheapest 2G Data Plans [June 2013]](http://telecomtalk.info/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Uninor-GPRS-packs-70x70.jpg?80e5e9)
Looks like things are not going well with Airtel ,starting July 1st Airtel Call home Service would be in history.
As per airtel they claim it as unforeseen circumstances and cites that Airtel Call Home will not be able to extend its services from 30th June 2011 (2400 hrs)onwards.
While on the other end Airtel is also recommending all its Call Home user to consume available talk time and states that the unutilized talk time balance within the validity period will be refunded.
Also, do note that you will not be able to recharge any further from 5th June 2011 (0000hrs)
The Toll free/Local Access services shall remain fully functional till 30th June ‘2011 (2400hrs).
Key Dates:
| Service discontinuation | 30th Jun 2011 |
| Sign up termination | 5th May 2011 |
| Recharges termination | 5th June 2011 |
So now the question is what made Airtel to take this decision ,we will keep you posted more on this as and when we get a clear picture .

airtel’s african business is expected to see losses till 20 more quarters means complete 5 years as company is restructuring the business based on indian ‘high volume’ model which was hugely successful here. airtel being such a huge telecom giant with annual turnover of more than 10bn can bear such initial losses. there is lot of potential in african market and it will take time for them to take out of it. big companies always eyes on long term business and losses are always expected at the begining.
take example of vodafone group plc. its indian counterpart is finally in profit after 4 years of operations in india.

Airtel is suffering from huge financial loss from Africa and India too. One day we may read on TT that Airtel has been takeover by another company if Airtel keeps suffering from such loss.

Bharti is just trying to increase ARPU and trying to remove all his less used & less profit making packs….

AirTel Will Also Face Financial Problems Which May Lead To Network Connectivity Problems. Especially ISD Calling Cards Of Vodafone and Aircel are also Causing Financial and Technical Problems in AirTel. Reason is Aircel and Vodafone’s ISD Calling Cards are Making Affordability For Mobile Users. And This in Turn These 2 Operators Like Just Cop Kempegowda and In Turn AirTel Is Just Like Villain Armugam.

bechara airtel aur uske consumer!

Airtel is in its tough times. Africa business is making huge losses and now in india government is planning to remove or reduce inter-connect charges Which will hit the revenues.

Today i called 124 and I was informed that Vodafone has brought zbcb (zero balance call back) facility. Whenever the balance is negative or zero one can dial *133*mobile no# (Mobile no on which you would like to call) and Vodafone will send a message asking him to call you back. It is available in Gujarat dont know about other states and whether the mobile no should be Vodafone only or any mobile.

nothing related to millions of airtel mobile users.
i have no idea how many people are using call home service abroad but the figure should be very very very less compared to airtel’s mobile user base across asia & africa.
maybe they want to concentrate on mainstream business like mobile telephony & dth
