Airtel is very costly than others, you dont have any cheaper plan for roaming calls and sms finaly it is the matter of shame for such a big company, we r stil waiting for some gud schemes
Naval Raza Zaidi December 19, 2010 at 3:39 am
Airtel is not in the race with other service provider. Airtel is such a big company but do not have any affordable plan for roaming, sms, call . Its a big shame for airtel. Your plans are not affordable for students and general public. Please launch some better and cheaper plans . Please look at small companies like Aircel and Idea they have much better plans.

AIRTEL has introduced a new STV in kolktata RC 78, which offers local A-A @ 35paisa/min..it works with all other SVVs(excluding RC 38,RC 98, RC 99).

As far as i know, there are restrictions if you enroll in this offer. You cant recharge with currencies less than 500Rs… And you wont get full talk time benifits unless you charge 1000 and above… This is what I came to know from Customer Care.. Please Confirm.
