Airtel Launches 'special Five' Scheme

Recommended Posts

Source

MUMBAI: Leading telecom services provider, Bharti Airtel on Sunday launched a new add on feature - Special 5 for its customers pan-India.

The service enables the clients to select a circle of five Airtel mobile numbers, within which call rates will be as low as 20 paise per minute on local calls and 50 paise per minute on STD calls, a press release issued here said.

"It helps leverage our large customer-base across the country and thus gives the edge to our customers," Bharti Airtel's CEO, Mobility, Manu Talwar said.

In the prepaid plan, customers can register the five numbers and enjoy the benefits over and above the current tariff benefits.

For post-paid customers, the scheme will be available as an exclusive special 5 plan, the release said.

The scheme is expected to benefit around 10 crore Airtel customers across the country, it said.

That means :

1. you pay monthly rental of Rs. 60 extra to make 5 local airtel numbers at reduced rate of 20ps. !!

Or

2. You pay monthly rental of Rs. 150 extra to make 5 Std airtel numbers at reduced rate of 50ps !!!

Talwar said "It helps leverage our large customer-base across the country and thus gives the edge to our customers,". And he adds - The scheme is expected to benefit around 10 crore Airtel customers across the country. But it seems that Talwar is using this hidden talwar of rental and leveraging his customer-base across the country and by fooling them benefiting his company not the customers.

Give me a break Airtel.

No, its more than that...

1) Pay Rs75 EXTRA to make 5 local airtel numbers at REDUCED RATE of 20p/min <<Rs77.50 for January, March, May, July, August, October, December>>

2) Pay Rs150 EXTRA to make 5 STD airtel numbers at REDUCED rate of Re0.50/min.. <<Again Rs155 for Jan, March, May, July, Aug, Oct, Dec>>

Airtel is well known for these lunatic offers, which have a lot of such hidden bombs... It is better to use the booster pack or addons, instead of these STUPID 1Re/Day schemes...

What I cant understand is, how they got 10c customers with such offers...

AIRTEL has come up with an offer that is going to choke its network soon. No matter what TRAI has to say in this matter, I find AIRTEL network busy most of the times when i call UP-BIHAR. This offer is an eyewash. They have again copied VODAFONE FRIENDS AND FAMILY SCHEME which in delhi allows local calls to 5 vodafone numbers@20 paise at a monthly rent of 15. of course vodafone dint have the same facility for std calls..

Nothing great

In post paid if you want this offer you have to change to plan 250(Rental Rs.250/-) where you get 250 local minutes free.

After the 250 minutes all local 50p

and all std Re.1

And of course you can add any 5 Airtel numbers (Local charged at 20p and STD charged at 50 p for these 5 numbers)

So they are first asking you to pay and then boast that they are providing something special.. bored with this cheating
