When Airtel go to announce 30p/local calls bonus card. BSNL and Idea network having bonus card for local calls at 30p/min in TN circle. But Airtel and Vodafone not announcing the 30p bonus card.

@manu do u know reliance facebook zero is not a fully working site.It can’t sent message,can’t update,can’t post wall.Everytime u tri it will show page not found…..So i think Reliance betray us.Also recently they have been charging more as 10p/kb for GPRS.

Finally !!! Airtel is waking up to the demands of the customers…it may be adding the highest numbers of subscribers but also has a significant number giving up its connections all thanks to the realtively exhorbitant pricing in all areas
It should learn from the pricing pattern of reliance….!!
