That Office thing was never free in kerala . Btw , Masala is the old gprs profile , and airtel live is the newer one , basically both are the same

yeah,
but u can't send mms using masala. masala is basically if u want to browse the airtel homepage and download stuff from there (its paid).

Shyam, mobile office wasn't free? I have been using it for free for the last four months! AirTel is really confusing!

Airtel Masala is now airtel live . You CANNOT access net through pc with Masala or live. You need to pay for it and that service is known as mobile office. Masala and live can be used to access wap only . Previously it was 600rs pm for mob office and not sure about current charges in kerala .
