Airtel and Google have partnered together to bring forth an innovative service called the Free Zone. Airtel users can now access Google services that include search, Gmail and Google+ for free.
The service is free with a limit cap of 1GB per month. You can access it only via your mobile phone. However you do need a working net connection, though a data plan is not necessary. You see, nothing is free, once you enable the net connection you are by default assigned to the ‘pay as you use’ plan. I am not sure if you can setup the net without a data plan on Airtel, and if the freezone will load without issues.
So let’s assume you have data connection enabled and you are an Airtel subscriber (pre-paid or post paid). To avail the free service all that you need to do is launch the default phone browser and go to the URL http://airtel.in/freezone (do note this will work only from your mobile phone).
Once the page is loaded, you will see the free zone page (mentioned) with google powered search box along with Gmail and Google+ menu options. The concept is that you need to be using the link Airtel.in/freezone all the time to be able to access these 3 services for free (1GB data limit per month). The free zone is mentioned on the page which is an indication that you are using the free service and you will not be charged for the data used.
