Honest 836 Report post Posted November 3, 2007 (edited) ^^^ It seems to be a good initiative taken by Airtel my dear friends. Re.1/- for outgoing local calls seems to be cool. Hope that Reliance too will follow the suit soon. And as we all knows Vodafone the biggest looter will follow this suit only in the end, when all other operators had reduced the tariffs. Regards.

copperco2 24 Report post Posted November 4, 2007 The plan is not so great.. It requires at least Rs.200/- spend in 180 days i.e. thre months. while some of the other lifetime plans do not have any such minimum committement.. Secondly it can only give benefts on the calls terminationg on its own network, so we need to get more details on the same... before we reach a judgement..

Honest 836 Report post Posted November 6, 2007 ^^^ Actually, my dear friends, I think that this scheme would be great for many users. Especially for those who use there mobiles for incoming calls and PCO for outgoing. After subscribing to this scheme they can call @ Re.1/- from their mobiles only. No need to go to the PCO. Regards.

Himanshu Singh 19 Report post Posted November 8, 2007 Its a last ditch effort of Airtel to increase Minutes of Usage.Its not that they have suddenly woken upto the fact that the local and std rates are ridiculously high on lifetime plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
