The rates that have been slashed here are of Mobile Office. But mobile office was free here for the last four months or so.

@Ayush:
I dont think in 'masala' mms is there because i have basically 2 profiles on my device....1 is Airtel MMS and 2 is Mobile Office...although I have deleted the Airtel LIVE (masala) profile as Mobile Office is for GPRS.
