HOT AIRTEL NEWS

Airtel is finally connected.

Dial any 075 number from your telephone and listen to the recording played, that is not played by your operator.

For example, dial 0755123456, it would say " Oba Emathoo Ankaya Bhawithaye Nometha ", followed by Tamil and English versions.

Now dial 0757123456, it would pay " Oba Emathoo Ankaya WERADIYA ".

It seems like 0757 would be their first batch of numbers. That is just the natural choice, if I was the CEO, I would have done the same.

However, coverage seems to be a critical issue, not even the city of Gampaha has not yet been covered.

( I might be updating this story over at my blog when new info becomes available sooner than I may do here, so if you would like to stay updated, keep an eye on www.mobileroyale.co.cc too . )

ahh good ne.. IDD sms cheap unoth echarai.. he he :P

Sorry buddy.. That is a regulation imposed by the government.. So no network can change it, although both Dialog and Mobitel would like to offer them at the usual rate..

Since the government probably believe that we should follow India's footsteps ( the reason why they increased them ) , there's no solution..
