The advt with Mr. Sachin Tendulkar's Pic goes like this
Roam on Airtel, --Don't pay any monthly roaming charges--Just pay Rs.1.99/min for receiving and making calls*--Enjoy the largest national roaming coverage across 16 states and over 1375 cities, and the largest international roaming coverage across over 300 networks. And if you happen to be in a town without and Airtel Service, which is a distant possibility, you will be charged a small amount of Rs. 5 per day. Now pre-activated roaming is available to postpaid, corporate and self employed subscribers. Happy roaming! Applicable from January 1, 2004.
- Tems and Condtions apply. Valid on national roaming

This was the matter given in the advt. But when I enquired the customer care (121) of Airtel prepaid, it has been informed that its applicable only to postpaid customers. But as a layman, I can't understand from anywhere in the advt, its available only for postpaid customers. Sir, this is just making us addicted to a brand with false propoganda. Actual tariff is about Rs6.45 for incoming and Rs7.45 for outgoing(Landline), which I had during roaming.
