TelecomTALK has learnt from exclusive sources that Airtel will be introducing two new 3G data packs in Kerala circle. In addition to this the existing 3G packs will see a heavy reduction in terms of validity. It may be remembered that Airtel uses ICRA to provide 3G to customers in Kerala and the 3G data packs used to cost 40% more during debut.

Rs.655 - 2.5 GB for 30 daysExpensive by 46% over Airtel 3G Circles (Rs. 449 for 2.5 GB data)

From the above table it is evident that a customer is made to pay 46% more for a decent data pack offering 2.5 GB data usage. The big question that emerges here is when the cost of 1 GB data pack could be brought down on par with Airtel 3G circles why is a new pack costing whopping 46% more?




In our opinion tariffs must be ideally uniform or at least marginally different. Who is your preferred 3G operator in Kerala and how much do you pay?
