Airtel launched 3G services in Bangalore today and we have some news about the plans and tariffs.

Activate 3G

First you have to send a SMS 3G to 121

You would get a reply from Airtel if your handset is compatible

We got back a message stating the tariff as Rs. 30p / 20kb and we were asked to confirm by sending 1 as a reply

Any 2G pack will be de-activated once you activate 3G

This looks like a pay as you go plan.

There is also another plan we heard in which you pay Rs. 650 as a monthly rental and get 1.25 GB free usage on 3G.

After that you pay for extra usage and max bill is Rs.2000 after which your speeds will drop to 128 Kbps

We shall update this page once we have more info !

What do you think of the tariffs ? Are you happy ? disappointed ?

Thanks to Varun Roy our Bangalore Ninja !
