I am using Airtel Prepaid card in Maharashtra and recently I came to knew about a 'Sunday SMS Pack' in which one can get 2000 free local SMS and the pack costs Rs.11. (In short you can get 2000 SMS in Rs.11)

But the catch is this pack is valid only for ONE Sunday i.e. 24 hours of the coming Sunday. I still went ahead and subscribed to it for one time. While sending SMS it says that Rs.0.01 has been deducted from your account but the actual balance doesn't get deducted. (This is strange however). I had subscribed to this pack last Sunday and still I am getting free SMS to all networks. :)

Now I just hope that I won't be charged later about this. Anyone knows more about this?

Yes, I too got the message regarding the offer. But I didn't activated it as I don't need to send a lot messages.

damn! i am gonna sue airtel. Its been almost one year since they have sent me any offer.
It was quite nice with vodafone earlier, where i was getting 1000 sms for Rs 50. It was local+std pack.
Airtel is robber.

You might have subscribed to Do Not Disturb Registry. Did you register for any such thing at their site or anywhere else? If yes then you won't get any such SMSes even fro Airtel.

No, i never sucsribed for DNC registry.
The only mistake i do is burn lot of money on my cell. they do't consider me worth any offers. I am probably way above their Average suscriber revenue target.:-x

Well if you are interested you might give it a try by sending 'SUNDAY' to 250 (Toll Free) Just confirm first from customer care before subscribing. I am enjoying it's benefits even now! For Rs.11 it's really great as I have irritated lots of my friends in this whole week! :p

Beware dude... they make such offers but dont stand by them! I got an offer last month, and only got some talk time... no validity... and my phone stayed disconnected for 15 days!!! And NOBODY at Airtel listens if you complain either... just went thru a long fiasco... so beware of Airtel!

I also received the same 2000 SMS package from Airtel but I don't think there is any catch to it that you have to you all the SMS in one day.

Here's a copy of the message:
AZ-FREESMS
Abhi nahin toh kabhi nahin!! Aaj aakhri din sunday sms offer ka. Jaldi se recharge karien Rs 11 se aur paaiye 2000 local gsm sms muft sirf 22 Feb ko.

P.S: I'm assuming the last line is not referring to the validity of the messages but to the point that it is a one time offer which if recharged now will be activated on 22 Feb.

Are you sure this does not come with a cap like on Airtel's Un-Unlimited braodband plans.
Say no more than 1 character per SMS :D
