To activate 3G on your existing Airtel connection steps are below:
1) Check if your city has 3G available
2) Call 12134 to activate 3G or
SM 3G to 121
You will get a response saying reply with “1” to activate 3G. Send 1 to 121. You will receive 3G profile via SMS within 4 hours. Save that and use it for the Internet applications as you do for 2G.
Make sure your mobile Network setting is set for Dual Mode( 2g/3g UMTS) not just GSM mode.

i had called to 12134 but it says the number does not exist my mob is n70 will i get 3g on my mobile?
I tried that option but after dialling 12134, option1 was not available due to technical upgradation so I spoke to executive by some option (9 I guess) and he activated it immediately.
