Great to know that Mayur… Will 3G phones support 4G?
In my place Airtel 3G is still not available and they are already launching 4G services. 4G is too expensive at this time, I hope data plans will become cheap soon,

Hello guys
I am from Delhi. I am a vodafone user as well as using airtel connection. I had activated 249 plan on my airtel connection as per described according to my requirements. They told me that I would get some free calls as well as the call rates are also cheaper. But don’t know was that just to attract customers or what??? I just filed my complaint to the but is not any hearing there So I just moved for where I again filed my complaint about the very much charged bill amount. Hope to get some help from them ASAP.
