If you look-up for Airtel’s GPRS and Mobile Office connections details on their website, I am sure you will go around in circles. The last resort is their paid support (Yes, Airtel now charges 50 paise per 3 minutes for contacting their customer support via phone). Having been through this, I am posting the following information that you could leverage if you were to avail Airtel’s GPRS services.
Listed below are Airtel’s g various packages, Download limits, tariffs and Activation/De-activation codes. Hope you find them useful.
| Airtel-GPRS Pack | Download Limit /month | Tariff/month | SMS Activation Code | SMS De-Activation Code |

Airtel services are not good. I have become fed up by using the service and making complains after complains. On top, they also deduct balace without using the service.
Stop using Airtel.
Hi,
I found the below additional info in the Airtel website. Do not know whether there are any restrictions/conditions for this offer.

The anomaly with GPRS 99 pack is, I pay Rs. 99 for the first 300MB and Rs.
1800 for the next 300MB, and they won’t let you know the usage until it’s billed (whereas prepaid customers can track the usage).
It’s even worse with GPRS 199/299 pack. Don’t tell me that I should know my usages. With smart phone apps, it’s nearly impossible to track the usage.
The above packages seems to be outdated. I’ve taken the below new package.

It’s Rs. 98 for 2GB. However, it has the same issue of whooping 30p per 50 KB charges (i.e. Rs. 6 per MB) and no tracking of usages.
anybody say how to free my airtel mo……… plz
