local call to any operator??? still no such scheme started in WB...... they just have a 6 months promo on lifetime with Rs.300
u get no talktime....
but u can make
local Airtel to Airtel @30p/m
local other mobiles @75p/m
local land phones @ Re.1/m
STD @ Rs.1.50/m
i subscribed that promo... i giving Rs.50/month to call any mobile @75p/m and you guys giving Rs.45/month to call any mobile @49p/m... this is not fair.....:mad::mad:
BTW
where where the scheme is on now??

^^haha. LOL, Its available in my region haryana. It may not be available now coz such schemes are availabe for very short time say 1 or 2 weeks . But the 49 paise per min seems permanent atleast for the time being.

I and my dad are having the 500 plan which gave us full talktime , 6 months validity , two BSNL numbers on which call rate is 10 paise per minute and obviously 49 paise call to all phones. This 375 scheme came later to 500 scheme . These schemes keep on changing rapidly.

Today I get SMS from Hutch

Talk to any Local Mobile @ 99ps per minute, to activate this reply at xxxxxxx, Rs.49/- will be deducted as monthly charges.

When AirTel offer 49 ps why Hutch charge 99ps? I hear that AirTel have 10ps and 30ps plan ? Is it true and where can I get more info about this?
