In the face of financial pressure, private sector telecom major Airtel has increased international call rate tariffs by up to 10 % for some destinations for all customers and reduced certain benefits on add-on services for its pre-paid subscribers. "Tariff rationalisation is a continuous process and a function of market dynamics. With the correction of tariffs for a few international destinations, we continue to remain competitive and deliver value to our customers," an Airtel spokesperson said.

Since Airtel has some good network in India especially in the Southern region they seem to think they are the best and are the first to increase prices and offering some services which are of lesser cost with other providers.

You can use TATA Docomo to call your friend @ 1p/s


However Airtel is world's 5th Largest Telecom Company. And I don't find a price rise of 10% a big deal.

This is far more worth worrying. I expect local call tariffs to rise sooner or later. And hence, as a precaution, I've got my family members postpaid plans or rate-cutter packs with long validity. :)

^^ For 1p/s, you'll have to pay Rs.59. I don't find Rs. 59 reasonable enough for occasional calls. However, if you make frequent international calls, it's perfect.

I agree. On my mom's phone (TATA Docomo) , messages regarding various VAS keep flashing.. If you press OK accidentally.. which is very likely, the service gets activated. However, I haven't noticed them since I activated DND. But, this is totally unfair.


In my city, BSNL's network is very poor. I regularly encounter Call drops.

C*aptel is doing their own job, and we should do out job (i.e. getting rid of them). Its already overpriced. Increasing rates by 10% is too much.
