Airtel 3G Tariffs and Packages

Try restarting your mobile. I did this when ever i could not access data. It works.


Restarted about 20 times after reading this suggestion. No luck what so ever. Even the edge which used to work earlier has stopped. Looks like airtel has messed up. Been trying to reach the customer service to cancel 3G, that also is not going through. Seems to many customers are trying to reach the CS and they are simply hanging up.

Send sms as 3G to 121 again to cancel 3G subscription.

or send a mail to [email protected] make sure subject line is your mobile number and there is nothing else on the subject line. This will help the customer care to process your request faster.

I got the 3G cancelled, and voila, 3G started working at 30p / 20kb and youtube streamed video flawlessly. I got in touch with CS and got 3G enabled again with FlexiShield.. and immediately after that 3G stopped working. Looks like there is some problem with FlexiShield package or Airtel wants its customers to pay 30p/20kb.Has any body selected FlexiShield package and is it working in Bangalore?

Hi,

I am trying to activate 3g on my handset (Nokia 5800 Xpress Music). sent sms (3G to 121) or (3GHS to 121). But i am getting below error message:-

Sorry. Your handset is not 3G compatible. Visit Discover a world of possibilities with 3G on your mobile for attractive 3G handset upgrade offers.

My cellphone is very much 3g enabled and model name is NOKIA 5800 xpress music.

I have called around 10 times to Customer care and they are not able to help me.

Please help me to get into 3G network.

so all in all, very very Poor start for airtel 3G in bangalore. sad to know.
i think wy the hell we should pay them premium for services they can't provide.
guys its time to make these telco learn some ethics lessons. let us boycott their services.
