For today’s professionals who like to be online while on the move, Airtel has announced something unbelievable. The company has come up with its Airtel mobile office plan. It is GPRS package that provides reasonably limited data transfer. The WAP package comes around Rs. 49 + 50p per 10kpbs.

It is an alternative for people who do not want to go with the EDGE Data plans made available by Airtel. This is for people who want to use the internet without worrying about any extra surfing charges on their bill.

The service is activated by sending a SMS to 222. Once the plan is activated it is automatically renewed after very 7 days. In case the customers do not want to continue with the service they can easily get it deactivated

Well the choices are absolutely clear, there is no point backing out from this plan. This plan charges just Rs. 140 per month which means that it is better than any other mobile office plans currently available with Airtel.

Usually the price for the same service provided by any of the other service providers is around RS. 400 per month. Also there is a download limit of 100 MB which is easily crossed by the users. As a result they end up being overcharged for the extra MBs they use.

The only thing that can be a deterrent in its popularity is that it does not get activated immediately. In fact it takes almost 48 hours to get started.

All facts withstanding, it is safe to say that the Airtel mobile office plan is worth the money spent. In fact it gives the users much more than what they pay for.

yesterday i got Mobile Office activated by dialling *567*1# it activated within 5 minutes.The charges are 30 paise per 50KB of data transfer.

Can ou tell me that above said plan is available in which states and how to activate it. Have you tried it or you are just saying out of you knowledge, Previously NOP on airtel was available on prepaid connections for 99 per month and unlimited usage.

If you just want to browse, try using UC-WEB or TeaShark browser and use Airtel Live settings. You wont be charged for the data transfer.

Services like mobile office are only useful for messengers and checking cricket scores. Not meant for browsing.
