Airtel is providing various digital content which includes Wync music and video streaming service, Airtel TV for its subscribers.

Now the company is planning to add another service to its digital content portfolio with the name “Airtel Books”. As per the primary information “Computer Era” got, Airtel Books shall be available only for those customers who recharged their number with higher denominations. A tuff competition is there in the Indian telecom industry, that’s why all telecom companies are adding such value-added services to retain the customers with them.

Airtel had 284.2 million subscribers in Dec 2018. The music streaming service Whyc has 120 million subscribers, and Airtel TV has 80 million user base. Compared to Reliance Jio Airtel has a few value-added services which attract the customers. Airtel is planning to add more services for free of cost to avoid the subscriber migration to other networks.

The new service Airtel Books will be available to both the Airtel subscribers, and for those who don’t have Airtel subscription also. In the beginning, Airtel Books offers nearly 70,000 books from Indian and International authors. Users can find books across genres like crime, self-help, business, spirituality, romance, history and politics.

For the non-subscribers, Airtel is going to provide a 30-day trial. Later one has to pay the subscription. For six months The Readers Club subscription is priced at Rs. 129, and if you wish to take 12 months subscription, you need to pay Rs. 199. Without having a subscription, you can also select a single book and pay the amount for it. Right now, Airtel Books has many English titles, and there are few books available in the Hindi. The company is in a plan to expand the catalogue with a more number of regional books in the coming months.

Airtel Rs 348 plan

In the pricing war with Reliance Jio, Airtel launched an attractive plan to its subscribers. Now you can get unlimited voice calls in between Airtel numbers for Rs. 348 and the new plan is valid for 28 Days. Not only voice calls you can get 300 MB mobile data along with this new plan. If you are living in the 4G coverage area you will be entitled to 4G data, otherwise, you can use 3G data.

By using Rs. 348 Combo plan you can make unlimited free calls to any local or national Airtel numbers for a period of 28 Days. A few days back Reliance Rcom announced a similar plan for Rs. 149 which offers unlimited calls to Rcom numbers across the country with the same 300 MB of Free 4G/3G data for its consumers.

The recent changes taking place in the Indian telecom sector after the launch of Reliance Jio are promising great benefits to the consumers. Airtel never compromised earlier to provide cheap plans to its subscribers, but now the same company is trying to keep its subscribers base by introduces new and interesting plans time to time.

Once the Reliance Jio free offers expired on 31st March 2017 all the prices will be settled down in the telecom sector. So we have to wait and see what plans are final at that time.

 

TRAI Imposes Fine on Telcos for Blocking Reliance JIO Calls

by

The fight among telecom operators of India has gone out of bounds. The competition has gone that far that they even started blocking calls from each other’s numbers thereby misleading the customers about the Quality of Service. Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) that controls all the telecom businesses in India have slashed a lash against the top 3 telecom operators with Rs.3050 crore fine for blocking Reliance JIO calls in an anti-business practice.

Telecom operators literally wanted to play with the customers by imposing unnecessary implications that fetch them more money in the name of business. It is well know to us when these operators (including Reliance) started charging for separate internet services with the data plans. Later when the net neutrality in India had taken pace to end this unfair business model.

The whole country fought against net neutrality collectively and sent signed petitions to TRAI India. Later you know what happened to net neutrality in the country. It is not just the duty of the telecommunications regulatory authority but also the duty of the people and customers to fight against the unfair sipping of money in the name of less validity and restricted plans.

Why TRAI imposed Rs.3050 crore on Airtel, Idea and Vodafone? What we can can do?

We all know that Reliance JIO Infocomm Ltd. was introduced with a revolutionary plans for unbelievable prices. Reliance JIO 4G plans are much better than any other telecom operator can offer. This increased the JIO stock over night and the stocks of all other telecom operators including the top telco India like Airtel, Idea and Vodafone has come down straight from the heights to the hell grounds.

The business model of Reliance 4G in India is different and it would take years to totally into JIO’s model for other operators. The telcos like Airtel, Idea and Vodafone had not expected this black hole right under the skin of JIO until announced. Then the Airtel, Vodafone revise rates of the their services and took down the prices of the plans in a week. Idea seemed like had nothing backed up to save itself from the pricing storm but lately introduced the cut offs.

To tackle the Reliance JIO Plans strategy, instead of improving their services and rates, telco India have started to block incoming calls from it. This has led to false consideration that the JIO is a bad service as offered for free during the first 3 months. Many techies and experts have been warning on this issue and customers are just unhappy to see Reliance 4G LTE service being un-useful.  This is an unfair business scheme which is observed by the TRAI and warned telecos about it. This anti-business practice had caused interruption in the mobile services and TRAI India has taken this issue seriously this time. So, for the first time in the history, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India has imposed a huge amount in each telco India operators as a compensation to the service interruption to the customers. This is the reason why TRAI imposed Rs.3050 crore on Airtel, Vodafone and Idea.

If you are aware of the Airtel, Vodafone pricing war that started initially but slowed down lately. There could be a mutual agreement between these telcom operators to pull down JIO from that hype. If you even observe precisely, the Airtel by-products, Airtel Red is also a bigger failure than the JIO Mobile. The Airtel vs Vodafone war had some unsaid treaties in the background which led to the availability of the cheaper Airtel prepaid top up. This cheaper Airtel top up have changed the face of those old switch to Airtel campaigns. To be precise, Reliance 4G plans have caused a disruption in the telecoms in India starting from Airtel.

As a customer, you can contact TRAI and explain in detail about the mal-practices in their services. I recommend you to go through the regulations before doing so as you would also need some serious knowledge about TRAI and its operations. Just like the net neutrality in India, we could also ask for quality of service (QoS) from the operators that we are getting service.

Don’t get mislead by hoaxes. Think a while before taking action. Reliance JIO will no give trouble in connecting calls as I hope.
