Airtel Call Home offers cheap phone calls to India - 600 minutes of international calls for $10

Update: Airtel call home could not keep their lights on. They have shut down the service. If you are looking for an alternative check out Rebtel or IndiaLD. It has been a long time since we blogged about Airtel Call Home. With the neck and neck competition, it is difficult for big players to beat the small Voip providers that spring up every now and then. However, the customer loyality helps them keep their lights on, and make good profit too. Although, they have phone calling services for many countries, their offers for India are the ones that are known profoundly. If you remember their offer of 3000 free minutes and a digital TV was a big hit among our readers.

India at 1.6 cents per minute

We have criticized Airtel for their decieving advertising practices. They usually advertise their prices to be cheaper than they really are. For instance, the 600 minutes for $6 was advertised at India 1 cent per minute while that offer is actually 600 minutes for $10. The additional $4 was due to administrative fees. Now, Airtel has launched an offer where you get calls to India for a flat rate of 1.6 cents per minute, all inclusive.
