Airtel has launched this scheme to tackle the FREE On-net calling pack launched by Docomo.Not a bad move considering the combo benefits this scheme offers without any daily rental.However the “first call and sms @ Rs.1” thing serves as a hidden rental only but subscribers might wanna give it a try considering the huge subscriber base Airtel has got in Maharashtra & Goa.
