It’s offers time for Airtel users in India.Few days back we have blogged about Airtel launching unlimited national & local SMS offer.Now Airtel is also offering unlimited internet via GPRS for its mobile users.
Launch of many of these unlimited plans can be attributed to the on-going Indian Premier League (IPL) 2010.Airtel thought this would be the big opportunity introduce some offers and get the attention of the users, for that matter targeting mainly youth section of the users.We need to recall that Airtel once used to offer unlimited (virtually) GPRS internet in the forms daily pack and monthly pack.And now as Aircel and Tata Docomo are offering similar plans which are attracting the younger generation, Airtel had no option left but to come out with such unlimited offers.
We can see Airtel promoting unlimited SMS offer, Unlimited GPRS internet offer and reduced night calling rates offer through Sharman Joshi of “3 Idiots” Bollywood movie fame.

@ Bharat its HTC3450 still unable to access in this unlimited GPRS @98 package 🙁 with the settings
Evn though 98 plan is grt. download speed is slow, it takes 2hr plus to download 63mb game using the world fastest download accletor. my suggestion to aitel is increase speed.
Aircel also has unlimited gprs plan per month for 97 Rs. This is truly unlimited. I have used nearly 5 Gb so far and its still working. I have been using this service for the past 1 year. It even works unlimited while roaming. This is the best option especially if you are in the south of India. I wouldn’t recommend it for using as your phone sim. But for you data and internet need this is it. It even works as a usb data card sim if you use it with bsnl 3g usb modem. And at good speeds too. i got 80 kbps with the data card.
is it work in Laptops also
NEVER EVER to activate 98 plan through Easy Recharge…they have a billing bug that even though recharge goes through the service is not active or if active..people do get charged…
ALWAYS activate through *567#..initially….later on you can top up for more usage qouta with 98 plan….
Speed is decent…at least we are connected
Thanks for the information..I want to know about the exact speed available on mobile with airtel connection..I am planing to opt it but don’t have any information regarding the speed..I need high speed and want to know the users reviews about speed..Should I go for it?
airtel mobile internet is very bakbaas and faltu, it takes 10-20 minutes to open google page and most times it doesn’t open. Airtel now concentrate on 3g only, so it doesn’t gives prefrences to 2g customer. If you wants to use mobile internet with good speed then try IDEA. Its working very efficiently. 9971776407
