@Arjun Aggarwal

ARJUN you are incorrect – there is no AIRTEL FWP on GSM with 6/7/8 digits.
These are landline (wired) phones… all AIRTEL FWPs are on 10 digits only.

>>GSM FWP does not automatically mean 10 digit/cellphone numbers. Airtel’s FWP is based on GSM (no CDMA) and it is available on both 10 and 6/7/8 digits in some cities.

bsnl gsm fwp has 10 digit numbers

Firstonnet June 28, 2010 at 7:42 pm

Its GSM FWP so number would be only in 10 digit which will be as per their cellphone, no need to add state code to call frm outside of dis state. Just need to add or prefix zero.
