Aircel has pioneered multiple VAS concepts such as ‘Cut Your Dialer Tune’ that enables customers to listen, choose and set their favorite part of a song as Dialer Tune or ‘Quiz Factory’ –which enables customers to use all forms of communication available on a mobile handset to play it, such as Voice, SMS and Data, making it a one-of-its-kind Value Added Services (VAS) proposition.
