      Being frank it is day light robbery, and data packs with FUP in the name of unlimited with heavy data tariffs is another cheating with 15,26, 28 days validity and the same suit is followed by idea and Vodafone.

                      The only reason I'm with Airtel is because of its strong signals almost everywhere in India and the 49 Rs. 1 GB 3G data valid from 12 AM to 6 AM but come on, you're gonna charge for VOIP services even though I have got a data plan? This is against net neutrality. Soon, I'll port out of Airtel to Reliance Jio once it launches. TRAI has allowed this and it just shows that TRAI is just a joke. Soon Vodafone and Idea will follow this strategy.

                        Siddharth , 24 Dec 2014Dear Indian government, Please kick out Airtel 's this plan. Indian government has taken 400000000 as donation from Airtel own trust, And you guys blaming Airtel.
                        They have paid the ruler to loot us with royal rights.

                            Lots of professionals use airtel 3G dongles for working from home, and have to attend office calls through VOIP, looks like airtel is going to lost a good deal of customers by implementing these senseless rules.

                            More people will tend to move toward fixed broadband as much as possible if these mobile carriers implement special packs for everything.
                            If they are left to their own means, pretty soon we need to do a dozen different special data recharges to access, Facebook, youtube, watsapp, skype, lync, mail and god knows what else they need you to do a separate recharge

                                  In South Africa, Vodacom(Vodafone) and MTN, the 2 biggest Cellular networks in South Africa, have announced the same thing about VoIP a month ago...

                                      Most likely bribed some official or minister and trying to pass it on to the customers! Shameful act....these guys have TRAI, CAI and Supreme Court, DOT to point finger at each other and deflecting the criticism. Our Central Ministers made huge promises during elections, now lets see what they do, are they being bought out by Mittals or still have some conscience left over?
