Airtel Launches Lifetime Offer
Techtree News Staff, Dec 24, 2005 1301 hrs IST
Airtel has introduced the "Lifetime" prepaid card with life time validity for a one time payment of Rs 999.
Airtel has introduced the "Lifetime" prepaid card with life time validity. This plan allows users to take a pre-paid connection with lifetime validity for a one time payment of Rs 999. The user can then continue to receive calls throughout their life without having to recharge.
The move is reportedly aimed at stopping the churn in the pre-paid subscriber base - once a subscriber takes this plan, he will remain an Airtel subscriber whether the mobile is in use or not. The "Lifetime" prepaid card also offers the user full talk time on every future recharge of any denomination and can be availed by all existing and potential mobile users.
Airtel aims to take affordability to a whole new level and maintains that this offer will open up new segments of the market. There is no change though in the airtime charges. All local calls will be charged at Rs 1.99 a minute and all STD calls will be charged at Rs 2.99 a minute.
In October, Tata Teleservices unveiled the "Non-Stop Mobile" for its prepaid customers wherein the scheme enabled users to get incoming calls for two years without re-charging. This scheme won the service provider one million new subscribers in November alone.

Hi this is Syed.I want to discuss about mobile phones radiation.First of all All the service providers in india seeking only money not in technic vice.Aim is to get more money though plan is life time,prepaid or postpaid.Bcoz for establishment the have to spend crores amount.Then they should get back.(only from customer.,ie we all knew).But fetching money tric by so many plans.No plan is perfect.Introducing and following upto some extent.Thats it.planning is not good.But in foreign countries Very gud schemes.Max 2 plans form these plan u can enjoy talking without a single difficulty such as recharging againg n again,rental,SMS packages so and so..SECOND THING radiation..You can enjoy urself if u dont have mobile.No tension,No billing and mainthing u can live upto 100 years bcoz no frequency radiation.But CDMA (Tata,Reliance) phones emit less radiation than GSM(Airtel,hutch SIM phones) phones.

Hello All, I am going to tell you all about my bitter experince with Airtel. I opted for a corporate Airtel postpaid connection somewhere in the first week of April. According to the Airtel personnel in my office, they have two plans under Airtel 199 plan a) 600 mins Airtel to Airtel free b) 300 mins Airtel to any GSM free. I opted for the plan b). Then after sometime I realised that I have been given plan a). I raised a compliant for the change of the plan from a) to b). I was told that the plan is changed and the complaint was closed. When I received my first month bill, i realised that the plan change has not happened. By this time I had already gone thru the terrifying experience of calling Airtel 100 times to get my plan changed from a) to b). I was fed up with Airtel and decided to disconnect the connection. I was asked to send a email to 121@airtelindia.com. I sent a mail on April 7th 2007. They told me they will give a confimration call before disconnecting. But till today (15th April 2007), I have not received any confirmation call from them . They had told it should happen within 4 working days. I have been repeatedly calling the customer care from last one week.. Nothing has happened but. So I have stopped using the phone from today. I have cancelled the Autodebit facility I had given to Airtel. I have decided not to pay even a single paise money to them. One more surprsing thing is when I visit the Airtel website to check out their plans/services for postpaid, I do not see themention of plan b) anywhere. I see only the plan a). This seems to be a big case of cheating from Airtel, the most trusted connection in India unfortunately. I am ready to be without cell phone but never going to use Airtel connection throughout my life. Beware of Airtel Please!!!! Thanks

The experience with airtel connection is very bad . They have made my connection to lifetime saying that you have e recharge of Rs 99 at 8 am on 20 th nov. But no such e recharge by me or my friends. when i dail 121 and listen my validity its found to be same as previous . I have talk to the customer care executive for 5-6 times . But the executive is saying the same that you e recharge of 99 to make your connection life time . But when i have not e -recharge of 99 Rs why should bear the life time call rates inspite of recharge of 66 Rs to reduce my call rates. tell me what should i do when i have not done any thing silly or by mistake . they are not accepting they have problem in their database.

As far as coustomer care service is concerned it is the poorest as one can not connect to it in even 10 go, more over until one can talk to coustomer care one can not activate gprs on his mobil. In this case Rim is more better as the set comes preactivated

Be very careful with this scheme. I have been charged Rs.4/- per call for STD. Normally people do not check the rate after each call and mobile companies take advantage of this by charging higher rates for calls. I have checking my rates for the last 2 weeks after each STD call.

I have a very bad experience with the scheme. Last month I subscribed for this service by paying 999. Since then, I have been charged nearly 5 rs a day, just out of the blue. On 11th Jan 2006 I recharged with Rs. 120/- . Since than I have made one call to a local mobile (cost of Rs 1.99/-) and one SMS and today i.e. 26th Jan 2006 the amount remaining as balance on my account is Rs 4.60/-. Isn't that amazing. By tomorrow I guess my balance would be negitive and my incoming calls will be stopped. I am a layman, oblivious of the intricacies involved in all these plans etc. But if I am going to be charged for no service by luring me with highly decorated promises, that is sheer cheating. Any one may query as to why I did not contact the customer care cell. I actually did and I feel its less said the better about the functioning of these blessed 'facilitating' centers. I went to the local airtel center, who made a call to some other customer care center and told me that the lines are busy and he will get back to me at the earliest on my cell. Thereafter there was no news from him. Two days after that again I went and paid him a visit. Agian the same farce went on and he told me that I will be intimated by SMS within 48 hours as to what is wrong. Its the end of four days and no news is good news as of now. I would have said to hell with Airtel and forgone the 999 + 120 as a ill placed donation to a cheater. But I have given this number as contact number at too many places, constant contacts with which is very significant to me. So I am really trapped, at least for the time being. Can anyone suggest any help?

Dear Sangeeta, the unfortunate soul, You are forgetting that its Indian style of doing business. You have already paid Rs.999. Now who cares whether their customer service is good or pathetic. I had this fear in my mind about quality of customer care once Lifetime scheme is availed of and that is why I did not opt for it! Moreover the call rates in Lifetime scheme are really atrocious.

what is STD rate from airtel to airtel mobile?
by Mausumi Pal, Delhi, on Jun 19, 2006 10:37 AM, Report abuse Reply
Hi. I am an Idea subscriber and believe that Idea has best Lifetime plan. Just Rs.50 per month and you get to call all mobiles at Rs.0.99/min and landlines and STD at Rs.0.99/30secs. Also in the present world of mobiles, there is good top of Rs.50 per month to bring you mobile charges to Rs.0.49/min. So I just commit to Rs.100 per month (from previous Rs.400 per month) and my bills have dropped from about Rs.1000 per month to Rs.550 per month due to Rs.300 savings in rental and drop in bill for mobile calls (about 75% of my local calls are to mobiles and expect this to the norm these days). There is also marginal saving in STD because it has changed from Rs.1.99/min to Rs.0.99/30secs. For for all those who wish to go for the lifetime offer is to serious consider Idea as has the best in comparison to Reliance, Hutch or Airtel.

Thanx srinivas. Looks like IDEA is the only provider in Lifetime prepaid who has a scheme where you can change tariff plan. I think no other provider has got this offer in lifetime(in Andhrapradesh atleast). Also Idea provides excellent service. I strongly recommend IDEA for those interested in new LIFETIME

The term "Life Time" is very ambiguous and needs to be explained properly. I am also using this plan and haven't face any difficulty till date. But i allways fear of any nusance which these companies can create. The thing is that, everything is fine only till there is no problem. Hope for the best.

I have taken the connection on 7th June o6 morning at 11 AM . The No is 9928358975. I have been charged 1100 and billed 999+ 99. The connection is not working till this time. On dialling the said No. Net work answers that this no is not currently available. Your registration form is also not accepting this no hence i can not register. This is most disgusting. I have also called your customer care but very evading reply. This has created distrust in your company from the very first day. There is cheating in the charges by agents and no proper response. It is really a sorry state of affairs at Udaipur. I am retired General Manager of Hindustan Zinc Ltd. I am very sorry for the comments but i am feeling helpless
