    @Kumaar Shah, Vinayak

    Thanks for the appreciation,

    I wrote this all thanks to this wonderful and great forum, I would not have taken the trouble write such a long post had it not been for this forum and its members.

    @Vinayak again

    if u are able to call all those operator codes from ur TATA, it means that all of them have managed to sign agreements with TATA so as to enable their FREE call numbers to work on TATAs network

    How does FREE/LOCAL call numbers work:

    All leading telecom operators in India offer FREE call(1800 + 6/7 digits) and LOCAL call numbers(1860 + 6/7 digits)

    In India the operators who offer these services are

    1. BSNL

    2. MTNL

    3. TATA

    4. RELIANCE

    5. AIRTEL

    6. IDEA

    For these numbers to work the telecom providers have to sign accessibility agreements with other telecom providers in India.

    Once that is done then the FREE number offered by a particular telecom provider will be accessible from 1.his own network and 2. the telecom providers he has managed to sign agreements with.

    For Example:

    1. BSNL signs agreement with AIRTEL, RELIANCE AND TATA, but does not manage an agreement with IDEA

    2. BSNL offers a FREE/LOCAL call number to a company "AA". Then that particular number can be accessed by subscribers of BSNL, AIRTEL, RELIANCE and TATA, but not IDEA

    How does the numbering work

    The format of the FREE/LOCAL calls is as explained

    1800 XX YYYY(FREE CALL 6 DIGITS)

    1800 XXX YYYY(FREE CALL 7 DIGITS)

    1860 XX YYYY(LOCAL CALL 6 DIGITS)

    1860 XXX YYYY(LOCAL CALL 7 DIGITS)

    WHERE 'XX or XXX' IS THE CODE OF THE OPERATOR OFFERING THAT PARTICULAR NUMBER

    AND 'YYYY' IS THE CODE OF THE COMPANY THATS BEEN ALLOTED THE NUMBER

    For Example:

    1800 180 1290 is the FREE call number for SBI credit cards

    where

    1800 implies that its free from whichever phone you are able to connect to it

    180('XXX') is BSNLs code who has offered the number to SBI credit cards

    and 1290('YYYY') is SBI credit cards alloted number

    Some additional info-----------though to the best of my knowledge this is an exhaustive list, but im not very sure that the list is a 100% complete

    Im listing down a the operator codes of the Telecom providers, which means that those particular 1800/1860 numbers will surely be accessible from their respective networks if not from others

    1. BSNL 180, 33, 44, 425 (Has signed agreement with all operators)

    2. MTNL 22. 11 (Has signed agreements with almost all operators)

    3. TATA 209 (Has signed agreements with BSNL, MTNL)

    4.RELIANCE 300 (Has signed agreements with BSNL)

    5. AIRTEL 100, 101 (Has signed agreements with BSNL)

    6. IDEA 270 (Is yet to sign anything concrete)

    My knowledge is limited to just these Telecom providers, i dont know of any other Telecom provider who offers FREE/LOCAL call numbers

    hope this will help a bit

    ^^^

    not just lifetime plans, all subscribers who have any kinda special plan activated on their numbers, need to send this msg, for activation of new rates

    I was using the roaming voucher (520/-) till now so my std rates as well as local rates were 1.20/min, so i had to send this msg to get the local calls down to 1.00/min

    I wld advise all to send the msg its free -- NEWPLAN to 51234

    the confusion seems to clear out by this explanation given to me by a friend

    reliance and all other fixed line players have started offering single number services (toll free-1800 as well as local charge-1860).

    now wat reliance has done is that the single number that it provides to its client can also be accessed by bsnl customers. this it has done by tying up with bsnl for its toll free services. so it is actually "call reliabce toll free(1800) numbers from bsnl" and not the other way round
