@San
They used to have a service named ‘Airtel Mega’ (wireless home phones) which they now stopped. Earlier there was info about it in their website. But now there is only info about Airtel landline and not Wireless phones.

Nopes Airtel still has landline phones.. As far as i’m concerned they have their services running in Kolkata telecom circle.

Is it possible to place other operators SIM. But calling to a landline is costlier> It will reduce its use

Its more or less kind of postpaid mobile connection. No hype in being a landline phone.

According to the Vodafone website link they are charging for 3 minute not for one minute so the call charges would be Rs.1.20 for one call of 180 seconds.
If any one take Talk-249 plan and talk 100 minutes(approx 33 calls) than bill would be Rs.302 that means call cost would be Rs.3 per minute!!
They also charging for CLIP!!

Being a landline kind off stuff it has numbers just like mobile phones do. Generally landline numbers have 8 digits but handyphone has 10 digits.

Ohh but Vodafone had launched its handyphone years back.. but wasen’t quite successful though.
