Now Airtel has come up with a special offer in Karnataka for prepaid...
Recharge with Rs.90/- and get 150 minutes of dedicated STD time. I got Rs.225/- talktime on the dedicated account. On every STD call, a charge of Rs.1.50/- is being charged from dedicated account, however, on a whole the calculation turns out to be 60 ps per minute.
I recharged for Rs.90/- and I get 150 minutes of call.
So Rs. 90/150 minutes =0.60 ps/minute.
So why was Rs. 225/- got ?
Actually I should be charged 0.60 ps/minute by the above calculation, but since they are charging Rs.1.50/- per minute for STD... they have given the cost for 150 minutes @ Rs.1.50/- per minute
1.50 * 150 minutes = Rs.225/-
Now some one would wonder why such a complicated calculation is required ?
What I felt is to create the WOW effect !
You first get the feeling of getting 0.60 ps minute call. Then you find you have got Rs.225/- talk time for just Rs.90/-. It seems like a double gain though actually in effect, they both give you just one benefit.
To check this dedicated balance, I used *123*5#
You have just one week validity for this balance.
However, verify with your service provide if you have the above scheme in your area and/or for your connection. I take no responsibility for an irresponsible acts.
Check out if this offer is applicable to you.
