ALERT!!! ALERT!!!
The VoIP charges are separate and no more included in your datapack.
Beware to use VoIP calling over 2G and 3G Airtel Networks in India.
India's leading cellphone carrier is going to charge for the VoIP calls that were made through 2G and 3G networks.
Example?
Here is a list of apps which run on VoIP and charged by Bharati Airtel:
"All Internet/data packs or plans (through which customer can avail discounted rate) shall only be valid for internet browsing and will exclude VoIP (Both incoming/ Outgoing). VoIP over data connectivity would be charged at standard data rates of 4p / 10 KB (3G service) and 10p / 10 KB (2G service)."
Will have to wait if other carriers would also follow this path or not. Rumors suggest that Idea and Vodafone are on the line. TRAI has agreed to charge for VoIP calling.
