Vodafone and Airtel to bring iPhone 2.0 in India

June 11, 2008 By Kunal Gangar 5 Comments

iPhone 3G

 

All you guys waiting for the iPhone to make an official entry will not have to wait much. Vodafone and Airtel have announced that they will be selling the new iPhone 3G in the Indian market. Both the operators are keeping mum on the pricing and availability of the phone but if our source is right, it will be out by September or October. You say the price? Expect it to be around Rs. 25000 mark (Locked of course).

One question I may ask to these operators is that will the users be getting some sort of data connection bundle with the phone?

PS: Gray market rules if you want to pick up an unlocked first generation iPhone.

Week Round up

May 25, 2008 By Kunal Gangar Leave a Comment

The week started with a short review of Tata Indicom’s website which has got a worth looking makeover. Next article notified us about another 3G service provider in the form of MTNL. They will be providing services as soon as they are allotted the spectrum.

Security is gaining more and more importance. But it seems RIM is compromising it to continue itself selling BlackBerry services in India and would be sharing the encryption key with the government. Next article highlighted the fact that Orkut has become a hub for users to share the telecom secrets and discuss the loopholes enabling the users to enjoy free GPRS and other services.

Another security loophole: This time it comes from government owned MTNL. MTNL’s website clearly lags behind in this Web 2.0 age but a more depressing fact is that their website included details of their customers. We have notified the authorities and as per their feedback, the situation is in control.

Airtel launched the Dial a Postpaid plan which will help them to gain more postpaid customers by giving them exciting benefits. Airtel announced that they will be selling HTC’s Touch Diamond phone which is reckoned to give iPhone a run for its money. Airtel has the exclusive rights to sell the phone. The last dose of Airtel is that they have launched their services in Lakshadweep islands.

Tata Indicom had launched a prepaid plan known as Go Speak Life giving users the freedom to call at 49 paise. Definite Steal according to us for users clocking more local calls. And lastly comes the Videocon’s announcement of starting their telecom services by mid-August and South India would be the first ones to experience them.

Airtel launches services in Lakshadweep

May 23, 2008 By yogen Leave a Comment

The beautiful island of Lakshadweep got its first private mobile service provider in the form of Airtel. Airtel will provide both prepaid and postpaid services.

Initially, Airtel will provide mobile services only in three islands of Kavaratti, Agatti and Bangaram. It has set up two towers in Kavaratti and one each in Agatti and Bangaram. Airtel has also tied up with 50 retail outlets across Lakshadweep to provide anytime recharge facility with Airtel Easy Charge and SIM card buying and registering facilities.

This move by Airtel will provide it with various first mover advantages and will hopefully see other services providers looking at this market.

Orkut (Airtel) users providing free GPRS and calling solutions

May 22, 2008 By Rohan Kamath

Which are the threads or forums that are the most accessed on Orkut? One of them is the kiddish games played and the other is cheap tactics of getting free services from your mobile. Yes, forums on Orkut are providing users with access to free GPRS and calling. Just punch in your email id or your contact number and the deatils would be forwarded to you.

Some of the threads read out:

  • Free calls worldwide if you’ve got GPRS!!!
  • Free secret code for all Mobile Phones
  • Airtel Secret Codes
  • FREE GPRS FOR MAHARASHTRA peoples

These are just a few of the codes and cheats that are being generated by small time tech geeks. Hundreds of users are readily giving contact details and availing themselves free services. We have no clue whether this really works, but the response is good, which is one reason to support this new face of piracy.

UPDATED: Airtel Jaya He

September 25, 2007 By Kunal Gangar 8 Comments

Airtel Jaya He

Airtel’s hearing us! Few weeks ago Airtel had launched Jaya He prepaid scheme. The scheme gave attractive call rates but the biggest downfall of this were that the call rates of Jaya He were only given to new subscribers and also the cost of buying a Jaya He SIM card did not include any talk time nor validity.

Realising the blunder they had made initially, Airtel is now providing the call rates of Jaya He pack to all the existing users who recharge their account with Rs. 610 denomination. The recharge carries a talk time of Rs. 350 and a validity of 30 days. For the new users who buy a new Jaya He SIM will get Rs. 400 worht of talk time which will be valid for 30 days.
