Hi,
Where did you get to know of this offer? Was it in a retail outlet or did you get a message regarding the same?
Cheers!
DB June 4, 2012 at 11:21 am
@ravin
@ PRAVIN – only when DOT makes it mandatory – then AIRTEL AP will be (forced to) introduce it … till then PAY for your incoming calls in AIRTEL AP. Alternately use BSNL RC150 or DOCOMO RC45.
>> When it is going to be launched in AP?
Abhijit June 3, 2012 at 9:25 am
Very True.. Airtel Mumbai-Maharashtra circle are treated as one local circle for all Prepaid & Postpaid users since 1st May 2005.. So all STVs for Prepaid & schemes of Postpaid are applicable in both the circles… I too using Airtel since 1st May 2005 for above reason of No roaming between Mumbai & Rest of Maharashtra circle..
Only NTP-2012 effect added Gujarat circle for incoming free there.. But outgoing will be at 1.2ps/sec from Gujarat not as per home tariffs..
Arif June 3, 2012 at 6:18 am
This plan is some 4 to 5 month old and I used this plan some 2 months back. But CC of airtel says 1000 minutes applicable for Mumbai as well as for Maharashtra & Goa circle. Even during roaming in Maharashtra & Goa this 1000 free minutes applicable.
DJSays June 2, 2012 at 9:21 am
Good offer. I hope Idea & Vodafone follow suit so that I don’t have to port out
Abhijit June 1, 2012 at 9:16 pm
But Airtel is already providing home like tariffs and roam like home for all prepaid & postpaid users between Mumbai- Maharashtra circle since 2005…
Only Gujarat circle is added in it now due NTP-2012 effect & have to activate by sending sms as ROAM to 51619… Yesterday it launched for Prepaid and today they launched for postpaid too that’s it…
And if to claim full Western region roaming free then they have to add Madhya Pradesh circle also in this plan!!!
Prabal June 1, 2012 at 8:44 pm
When was the last time, Airtel introduced an offer for Rajasthan? 2008?
ravin June 1, 2012 at 7:38 pm
When it is going to be launched in AP?
Gowrishankar June 1, 2012 at 3:07 pm
@F1 It is true only…
irfan June 1, 2012 at 3:04 pm
very good plan by an elite users compnay we ho these strategies are followed by vodafone for all india basis
F1 June 1, 2012 at 2:53 pm
It seems Airhell is feeling the heat of MNP and its taking some drastic measures to arrest the movement of customers to other networks
kingston June 1, 2012 at 9:19 am
NTP 2012 effect. . . . Good move by Indian Telecom & TRAI
