KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted September 17, 2009 and Arun, Maybe meant for existing Aircel users who do not want to switch operators. There are many people who are on Aircel and want BB services at any cost. And these are the people who are being targeted by Aircel now. :NOTriste: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
