The service has been introduced in line with the company’s commitment to offer maximum convenience to customers in the simplest way, and to fuel the growth of mobile internet in India.

‘My First Internet’, accessed using a short code *121*0#, opens up to be a single platform for Aircel customers, guiding them to choose the most-suitable internet plan. It also helps them identify a host of other things one can do or access using Aircel internet.

Anupam Vasudev, Chief Marketing Officer of Aircel, said, “The power of the internet is far from being unknown today, when it is transforming billions of lives across the world. However, our country is one that has not harnessed the internet’s benefits to the same degree and more than 60% of India’s population is yet to get online. As a data-led telecom player, we’re committed to accelerating the pace of this process and are delighted to launch ‘My First Internet’ service, which will bring in a great deal of transparency for customers to access mobile internet on their phones. We’re confident that our effort will simplify internet subscription and usage to open up a world of opportunities for all our customers.”

The service is being promoted through various avenues across the country, including SMS, selling points/retail outlets, social media, Aircel App and call centers portals.
