airtel-4g-1

Airtel has commenced its 4G service in the city of Ludhiana in Punjab. This service rollout makes Ludhiana the first city for users to experience 4G service simultaneously on dongles, Wi-Fi-enabled routers and mobile phones. While the dongle and routers are targeted more towards office goers and home users, mobile phones is where the 4G service will be most beneficial.

Interestingly, unlike other regions, Airtel will charge Rs. 49 for USIMs for mobile users. The USIM will come free of cost with the purchase of a dongle or a router that are priced Rs. 1,500 and Rs. 2,500 respectively.

Some of the plans include – Rs. 999/- (for postpaid – mobiles, dongles and routers) and Rs. 995/- (for prepaid mobiles only) that offers 10 GB of 4G data. For postpaid mobile customers, the plans start from as low as Rs. 100.

The compatible mobile handsets that support Airtel 4G are Xolo LT 900, LG G2 (model D802T), LG G Pro 2, iPhone 5S (models A1530 & A1518) and iPhone 5C (models A1529 & A1516).

I guess it was expected but Airtel has given their official word on resumption of the 3G services in non-3G circles. Airtel will now provide 3G service in Haryana, Maharashtra, Goa, Kerala, MPCG (Madhya Pradesh, Chhatisgarh), Gujarat, Kolkata and UP (east) with infrastructure backup from Vodafone and Idea Cellular.

Last week, TDSAT quashed the fine levied by DoT for violating 3G license agreement and claimed Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular did not violate the law and can continue with their 3G intra-circle roaming agreement (ICRA).

RCom last week announced to offer nationwide 3G coverage with the partnership of Aircel and Tata.

airtel unlimited hello tunes

First Aircel came up with a special Dialer Tunes card offering unlimited changes of dialer tunes. Now, Airtel is upto something similar and has brought in a special festive offer. No card, no recharge and no voucher, all Airtel users across India can now enjoy unlimited change of their Hello Tunes for the next one month. But be careful while using this service as the Hello Tune download is free but calling to choose your Hello Tune attracts a charge of Rs 3/min.

Airtel brings in new tariff voucher

October 13, 2009 By yogen Leave a Comment

Airtel prepaid voucher

When we talked about ‘Simply Reliance’ and IDEA ‘Diwali voucher’, we knew that the other big operators will soon follow and bring in similar tariff vouchers; here comes one from Airtel. Airtel’s new tariff voucher is called RC 62 and is focussed on reducing call rates for local and STD calls made across non-Airtel network.

This voucher is priced at Rs 62 and comes with an airtime of Rs 40 along with a validity of 180 days. This voucher will allow subscribers to make local and STD calls across Airtel network for 50 paise/min and across non-Airtel network for 60 paise/min. SMS and roaming tariffs will be standard. Although the voucher looks good, it suffers in front of RCom’s killer plan ‘Simply Reliance’.

In times when the global slowdown is gradually recovering, Bharti Airtel Ltd. expects to add 3 million subscribers every month. When asked the firm’s CEO Manoj Kohli, he says that their franchise Airtel is unaffected by rising competition. He added, “Bharti would not respond to rivals’ moves and has its own strategies. We are very clear; we will maintain, if not enhance, market leadership.”

So is Airtel not even affected by the ongoing price war and the entry of new players in the market? To this he responds that, “New players have nothing but tariffs to offer.” Sounds like a confident reply. We wish them All the Best.

Airtel brings HTC Magic, as expensive as iPhone (almost)

June 23, 2009 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

HTC Magic

Here it is fellas. As expected, HTC and Airtel have announced Magic, India’s first widely awaited Android phone. You know, I am excited about its arrival but on the other hand, somewhat sad too because of its price. Airtel and authorized HTC resellers will be selling for a whopping Rs. 29,900. Ok, it may not sound more comparing iPhone’s cheapest model but Magic’s price could be costlier than iPhone 3G when operators decide to decrease the price in the wake of iPhone 3GS launch in August.

Anyways, keeping the iPhone-Android comparison aside, the good things Magic features are free data access of up to 100MB for the first six months for Airtel users, different Airtel applications, 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen, 3,2MP camera, Exchange support and much more.
