Thread: Airtel 256 kbps (Unlimited) for 600/- versus BSNL's plan

airtel is very good in terms of service reliability and speed (as per the relevant plan).

no worries on that front.

I would recommend Airtel. But then I am an Airtel Fanboy

There would be some Tax which will amount to 600+
If you look at the packages you might be able to get it in an offer where you get some calls free or some other additional package.
Phone is free with the DSL.

Interesting. I wasn't aware that the phone is free (probably missed that when the salesman tried to explain all the stuff).

So I understand that if I were not to use any phone calls, then the monthly cost would be 600/- + tax for this scheme? And phone calls would be in addition to that?

If I were to try to get some free phone calls, what offer should I expect? Or what should I bargain for?

Thanks!

you have to see what is included in the broadband package.

it might have some free calls. if not, you would pay for any calls made using that phone.

if you just need the broadband connection, do not apply for the phone instrument. i think they charge a bit extra for that.

taxes are normal with any such service. i dont think any company advertises prices inclusive of the taxes which comes to around 10.x%

so 600 bucks would come to around 665.

Wonderful info! Thanks a ton. This gives a much better picture when I talk to Airtel people next.

sometimes the marketing executive misleads the customer with fake plans.. beware.. ask them to show all plans in print.. verbal assurances have no value.
