Information Madness

I think since Indian government cut down the termination charges, telecom operators are giving a great discounts on calling rates to India. Now calling card india are very cheap compared to what it was before 5 years ago. Calling card is a must have for any Indian living in USA.

Now Airtel Wednesday launched a new offer for its US customers which will enable them to make calls to India at 1 cent per minute using online calling cards. The product is called Airtel -- India One.

So what is the catch?

This is hot it works. You buy a calling card for $9.99 which includes $3.99 rental charge and $6.00 talk time. The validity of this card is 30 days. Now out of this $6.00, if you use a toll free number, you get only 200 minutes talk time to India. If you use local access numbers instead, you will get 600 minutes talk time. 

After the validity of this card, your remaining minutes will be forfeited. So if you used only 300 minutes this month, you will loose the rest of the 300 minutes. 

Basically it is a monthly $10 for 600 minutes which is still not bad compared to other calling card services. I think this is the best calling rate for India so far.
