Airtel-Nokia Data Offer – GPRS At Half Price
This time Airtel is offering new Samsung Galaxy S and Samsung Galaxy Wave users Unlimited Mobile Internet (2 GB data per month) for 6 months for just Rs. 600. Which comes out to be Rs. 50 per month for 6 months, well below the usual charges of Rs. 98 per month. This offer valid up to 30 September, 2010. In order to activate this offer follow the steps give below:
- Make sure you own a new Samsung Galaxy S or Samsung Wave and are Airtel customer.
- Send sms “SAMSUNG” (without quotes) (in caps) to 543210 (toll free number).
- You will receive an sms confirming the activation of this service.
That’s it! Enjoy unlimited Internet on your samsung smart-phone at reduced rates for the next 6 months (from the date of activation).
Keep In Mind The Following Points:
- You can avail this offer only once.
- After 6 months (from date of activation), you will be charged for Mobile Internet at normal rates.
- In case you download data beyond the allowed 2 GB, you will be charged Rs. 0.30 for 50 KB.

How long does it take to activate? I’ve sent a SMS and got couple of replies stating that the service will be activated in 48hrs. The ETA is approaching and it is still not activated ( normamly it gets activated in few hours).
I spoke to Airtel customer care and as usual they were clueless about the offer.
My only concern is that I had activated another plan after purchasing GalaxyS and deactivated it prior to opting for this scheme. Wondering whether this will pose a problem for subscription to the new offer or not.
Activating any other plan prior to this scheme shouldn’t be a problem. And i will recommend you to wait for 48 hours. In case, it does’nt get activated then write an email to airtel presence.
