Hi guys , I really do not know what is wrong with my airtel prepaid account but i am not complaining :grin:. I am from mumbai and i use airtel mobile office on my prepaid account so daily Rs 15 was deducted . Whenever if my account went below 15 then automatically the mobile office service used to be disconnected . Now , recently a few days ago when i was browsing on my phone i got a message from airtel that rs 15 has been deducted from my account for using mobile office and as a result my balance became rs 14.89 but gprs was still working . Now the fun part is that airtel cannot deduct 15rs from my account but gprs is still working .I have neither recharged my account nor did i make any call from my cell from past 8 days just to see if anything happens but to my surprice nothing has happened. I am still getting free internet.
Now can anyone tell why am i getting free gprs . And even if i recharge my cell then can i still get free net ?? What should i do ?

cool, you must be lucky. I enjoyed free MO for 5 months back in 2007

I also used to enjoy free gprs a year ago using the airtel live trick which suddenly stopped some months ago . But i really do not know why i am getting free net now since i am not using any tricks .

Some problem is definitely there with Airtel's GPRS billing system. ON FWP, I used to get upto 150MB data transfer per month at Rs. 75 though only first 50 MBs were free.
