A special roaming packs has been launched  for all Airtel based international customers to receive five hours of incoming calls mostly to the postpaid segment customer & outgoing call at 20 rs per minute only n U.S. & in the countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Australia, Germany, the United Arab Emirates and United Kingdom, the customers will avail 40 rs per minute for outgoing calls.

Rs 779 and Rs 1,479 are the following recharge packs available to reduce the incoming & outgoing call rates to 20 rs per minute in some selected countries with full talk time packs. Both these packs can be used internationally & also in India.

In November 2012, Airtel has launched the same roaming packs in African soils to its mobile customers by making incoming calls free.

A new roaming scheme has been started by India’s major telco operator known as Bharti Airtel for Delhi based consumers, this plan will help consumers to receive free incoming calls in five states of India.

 Bharti Airtel said in a statement ”With this pack, Airtel prepaid mobile customers can now get up to 30 days of free incoming calls while traveling to Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand and West Bengal (except Kolkata) on a recharge of Rs 21.”

Re 1 for incoming calls, Re 1 for local outgoing calls and Rs. 1.5 paise for STD calls on roaming were the charges assigned to Delhi based Airtel consumers.

India’s Leading Telco operators Airtel has come up with a new strategy of increasing the existing tariff plan by 20 percent over the last 18 months. Right now Airtel will make the base tariff plan of around Rs 2 per minute.

If we talk about tariff plans mostly there are two of them i.e. Advantage & Freedom both for Voice & SMS services. First tariff plan will now offers 60 p per min from 50 p per min for local & STD mobile calls & 90 p per min for Landline. Re 1 for Local SMS & Rs 1.50 for national SMS. These tariff will be effective for those users also who are using earlier tariff plans & this new tariff plans will be activated after the old tariff plan comes to an end. Latter the tariff plan will give 1.2 p for local & STD mobile, earlier which was 1 p. This tariff will be effective in all its circles in upcoming 2 months.

Similarly many big operators like Idea, Vodafone are too revising their tariff plans for SMS, Voice & Data services in the past few months, mostly likely with regards to Govt. decision on free roaming.

Again if we see at first Tata Docomo raised their per second billing plan in GSM services past 2 years ago in all its circles so Airtel may be considered as  the 2^nd operator to join this war.

Again if we talk about Airtel leading persons then they put a comment like ‘’ “There is no change in the headline tariff. In most circles we have reduced promotional benefits and free minutes on both acquisition and existing usage. We are committed to enhance value for our customers through continued investments in network, technology, customer experience and life enriching services.”
