Airtel 3G prices reduced !

[dopeknight]

Yay ! At last some cheaper plans for 3G. I tried 3G once that's it cuz they were too costly and always took the 2G plans. But now I'll find a good plan that will fit my needs. Thanks for sharing.
By the way is there a link for all the new 3G plans available.. ?

[Sujeet]

Woah! And they should pay 12,000 crore for same thing! Fair enough!

I guess its about 3G Spectrum Auction Prices.Right????

[clmlbx]

last night when i tried to activate the Rs.10 3G pack, it said i need to have internet balance less than Rs.50, even though my gprs balance was Rs.33 then. today when i tried, it said i need to have Rs.10 balance and i have Rs.0, while actually i have Rs.143 balance.

i am a new airtel user, are these hassles normal or is this because these tariffs are new and their systems might not be in place yet?

[Vyom]

^^ Well, TBH, your post sounds a little confusing.
Anyway, all that is required is that your account should have the minimum balance required to activate the plan you need to.
For eg, if you want to activate Rs 10 plan, then your account should have minimum Rs 10.

But if you are getting such messages even if you have sufficient balance, I suppose Airtel's network might be a little screwed too, overloaded with all the sudden 3G load!

Today i tried to activate 10 rs 3g pack , Instead of activate i got msg -

" Your request for Rs 10 free 1800 secs plan cant be processed as ur current Free MB is more than 50 MB. You can activate any 3g pack or plan only when your free MB balance is lower 50 MB "

WTF .

Any idea wht is this ?

lol the situation itself is quite confusing so can't really help it! i think you are right, i should give it some time, it should all be sorted out in a couple of days

i believe you are supposed to have less than 50mb GPRS balance to activate a 3G pack. check your balance through *121*2#, gprs/internet balance is also displayed there, if it's more than 50mb, use some gprs so it comes down! if it's already below 50mb, like it was in my case, well can't really do anything, wait for airtel to sort this issue out. do share if you succeed in applying the 3G pack.

Do you have any ongoing Net pack.
If yes you must have less than 50mb to activate your intended 3G Pack.

[R2K]

Now we are gonna find more people on Trains and buses with their eyes glue to their cell phones browsing internet ...

When will we get to see these kinda price cut on fixed line broadband

In case your 2g balace is above 50mb,it will vanish once your 3g pack is active.

wait for 3g pack activation confirmation message.

Will take some time.Your issue will be sorted.
BTW the just a reminder 3G validity counter resets at 12 am midnight.
By 1 day airtel doesnt means 24hrs.It means the whole day of activation,evening ,morning all counts the same.

So in case you have recharged your card yesterday,Your 3g pack is already expired!!!

hey i also checked airtel 3G tarifs for my circle(UP EAST, Varanasi).
there is no changes in the plans except 9rs plan now gives 30 min usage..!!

[suyash24seven]

on 12134, a recorded voice is saying about 3G, "this service is currently not available due to technical upgradation". that means they're working on it and all the issues we've been having will hopefully be resolved soon.

[Revolution]

Right.
In your dreams!?

Yep!
May be ?
Cos this is India.
Mera Bharat mahan ?

[Dushyant Sharma]

499- 1 mbps still 25 gigs-then 256 kbps

this is very good for all airtel customers.........
coz 2g services is too low in speed. and its realy boaring...

tried multiple times, the paid technical assistance one! nothing. either there's a lot of sudden traffic that they're unable to handle, or their 3G system has gone buggy. 12134 -> "number does not exist"! seems they're trying hard, so i'll just be patient.

[rahulyo]

Yesterday tried to activate 10 rs pack 2nd time got msg -

" Your request for Rs 10 free 1800 secs plan cant be processed as ur current Free MB is more than 50 MB. You can activate any 3g pack or plan only when your free MB balance is lower 50 MB "

[pramudit]

^you need end up your previous 2g/3g pack first, then only you can recharge again...

So, is that so!
Then I suppose I will DO have to wait a long time for my 2G balance to get finish. Cause I surely can't exhaust about 850 MB suddenly.

call 198

Lol, isn't that common consumer complaint number? You are advising to register a complaint just because Airtel is fighting with the sudden demand? :/

[puli44]

30 min pack is looking good ..but still i will wait for others telecos reduced tariff

[ajayritik]

Guys sorry for a noob question. But if I have a phone that supports 3G. Do I need to buy a 3G SIM to avail the services. I have Airtel Postpaid connection and want to give a try for 3G.

[clmlbx]

^^ just activate the 3G on your sim by sending an sms

I guess it is 3G to 121

[rahulyo]

I chk no 2g pack activate on my Sim.
