i have seen a website http://www.globaletalk.com/friends.html# which is offering unlimited calls from UK to aircel mobiles in India for 10 pounds a month through landline numbers like 020 . And aircel is available now in Andhra , Karnataka ,Kerala ,Tamilnadu ,Chennai and in 18 circles of the total 23 circles. it is due to start in the remaining circles as well in the next few months. And i think its network in the new circles like andhra is Tata indicom s network. so better availability. And the Sim is available from aircel with life time validity which means free incoming for upto network license period for Indian Rupees 99. Take a look at the aircel website for Sims http://www.aircel.com/And the interesting thing is you can call any number of aircel customers in India and 24 hours ,30 days a month for 10 pounds . i haven't used it yet but any body wants unlimited calling to India can have a look |

This seems to be a good service for heavy callers to India. It would be nice to hear from some users of the service regarding call quality and reliability.

Dear Sir,
I have seen the website which you have mentioned in your post and as far as I understood is that you have to pay 10£ for every Aircel number that you want to make unlimited calls to India. They will give you a specifically designed access number that allows calls to your registered Aircel mobile number in India.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. If at all that is providing unlimited calls to any Aircel number in India, this would be a great offer.
Thanking you
Regards,
Srikanth.

from the website
"You can register any number of Friends&Family parties from India for making unlimited calls to them and each connection will cost at £10 per month"
so it is £10 a month/number.
I could have lived with that if they could have allowed to dial that aircel number from multiple phones (like mobile/landlines or so. in that case atleast your family members will be able to that number using your account.)
but in this case its from one registed uk number to one aircel registered number for £10 a month

Dear Goodman,
Thanks for your clarification. In which case it is going out to be expensive to some extent unless some one who speaks with their parents back in India daily (of course like me ) this service is quiet useful.
I wondered if there is any service that offers unlimited calls to any Indian number from UK through a landline access number for some fee every month. Has anyone came across services of this kind.
Thanking you
Regards,
Srikanth.

But I guess the major limitation is the specific network to be used in India  |

Specific number and network. but if you call your parent or girfriend/wife regulary for long hours these are really best.

Yeah, but I have vonage for that purpose which is much cheaper. One would need to call up a lot of other people as well and then you have to spend a lot extra over and above this charge. Good deal but would find favour with only a few selected people. |

I wonder if this is a service officially endorsed by Aircel, or if its a company that have setup gateways with local Aircel SIMs in a backoffice in India to route free on-network calls. The leg from the UK to India will happen via VOIP. Each local SIM will map to one UK customer.
A nice idea and a good money spinner! Well done to Globaletalk!

I have used the service and felt it was good in the starting 15 days and then the problem started it was not connecting the aircel number when you dial. when you ring customer service the answer they were giving is not appreciated. now everything is changed and its no longer unlimited its only 1500 min/month for 10 Pounds!!!

It doesn't seem to be any more worthful service for £10 a month.  |

well the service has changed a lot over the time. Previously it used to be unlimited call from 020 number to 1 aircel mobile for a month. They did include some of the recommendation made by the people and made it more open.
The new changes are
1500 min/ month for £10
you can add up to three mobile phone to your account and they can be on any network except BSNL which is very comparing comparing to previous offer which was Aircel only.
1500 min will be shared among the three mobiles.
now thats a very good offer apart from the 1500 min ( but its still 150 min per £)
