Airtel Postpaid

Airtel lets you ‘Help Yourself’

By 3 Comments

Now a days, majority of the users feel the need to check their unbilled usage amounts, like their prepaid counterparts. The need for such a service was quite high and each postpaid user feels secure if he can constantly check his unbilled amounts and have a rough estimate on his usage.

Airtel has provided a list of codes, which would help its users to do the same.

  • OT – Outstanding
  • UNB – Unbilled usage
  • PYMT – Payment details
  • MBILL – Bill Summary
  • BP – Current Bill Plan
  • NBP – Info on new Plans
  • START<space><BILL PLAN SHORT NAME> – Change Bill Plan
  • SR<space><REQUEST REFERENCE No.> – Service Request Status

The users can send the respective codes to 121 (toll free). This move hits two birds with one stone. Firstly, users can ask for anything at their discretion and secondly, less people standing in queues at their Relationship Centers. What an Idea!.

Airtel Celebrations 399 Plan

By Leave a Comment

With people calling more and bills getting heavier, there is always some plan which comes to the rescue. This one is for the Airtel users who have bills going off the roof. Here are the details:

  • Monthly Rental: Rs.399
  • CLIP cahrges: Rs.75
  • Local calls to all phones: 60paise
  • STD calls to all phones: Rs.1.5
  • Local SMS: 60paise
  • National SMS: Rs.1.5
  • 1000 minutes of calling and 1000 SMS to Airtel free
  • First 1000 minutes of STD to Airtel network only for Re.1

We say: This plan is very close, or a twin of the Vodafone 399+ Plan. The free stuff is only towards Airtel network, which is one bad aspect about the plan. This would be a definite hit if it weren’t restrictive. The CLIP charges adds to the monthly cost and this might be another limiter to its success. Overall, if you have calling and SMS to Airtel networks, this one is for you.

We’ve heard of 299, 399 999. But this one is a bit different. This one is a 333 Plan by Airtel, with the number signifying the monthly rental you will have to shell out each month. Let’s have a look at the plan details:

  • Monthly Rental: Rs.333
  • Local calling to Airtel networks: 50paise
  • Local calls to other networks: 75paise
  • STD calls to all networks: Rs.1.5
  • Local SMS: 50paise
  • National SMS: Rs.1.5
  • Free 111 local minutes to Airtel
  • Free 111 Local minutes to all mobiles 
  • Free 111 Local SMS

We say: It gives us great pleasure to see free calling and SMS to all networks being provided by Airtel. Though it doesn’t seem much, it would be beneficial when it comes to paying your bill. This one passes our test and gets a thumbs up, thanks to affordable calling and messaging rates.

Airtel’s Corporate Plan

By Leave a Comment

Airtel has it’s own set of Corporate Plans. One of them that we got our hands on was definitely worth reporting. Here are the details of the plan:

  • Monthly Rent: Rs.199
  • Airtel to Airtel free local calling: 300 mins
  • All local calls and SMS: 50paise
  • Caller ID: Free of charge
  • STD calls: Rs.2

We say: The plan is relatively simple to understand and gives a lot of benefits, especially for A2A calls. The call rates are good and so are the SMS rates. The STD might be one of the concerns but the STD pack worth Rs.50 could be handy to make STD calls at Re.1. That makes the plan cost you Rs.249 and is worth the price. We give it a thumbs up.
