@Rahul Barik
All telecom operators have paid thousands of crores in order to buy 3G spectrum, and you think they will let you use 3G without paying???
As it is already clearly mentioned in the article, airtel will authorize you to use 3G only when you send an activation request to 121 wherein your edge plan will be deactivated.
When an operator pays x crores to buy expensive spectrum/bandwidth from government
they make sure they spend half the amount to secure the investment!!
Those loopholes wherein you accessed gprs plans free of charge will all be plugged by now.
Best of luck for looting!!
Apnay baap ka kya jaata hai..
