Airtel has launched the `background music' service. With this, users can set their favourite song/instrumental piece as background music during a call. It can also help the callers to disguise their location. The database includes over 5,000 song options under eight categories and instrumental music downloads with choices of tabla, violin and many more. The service also offers 10 emoticons.

To activate this service, an Airtel customer needs to call 676. Customers can simultaneously set tunes for up to five special callers. When a customer intends to make a call with a background music, he/she needs to dial 676 followed by the 10 digit mobile number.

You can also introduce emoticons/sounds during the call. First, mute the music and then press the corresponding number given in the chart. A monthly rental of Rs 30 is charged for this service, with each download at Rs 10, according to a release from the company.
