There's an inline script on the page that tries to decide if you're using a mobile device:

var checker = "";
if(getUrlParams().source != "wap"){
	checker = {
	   mobile: ua.match(/(android|avantgo|htc|micromax|symbian|blackberry|blazer|compal|elaine|fennec|hiptop|iemobile|iphone|iris|kindle|lge|maemo|midp|mmp|netfront|opera mob|opera mini|opera palm|phone|plucker|pocket|psp|symbian|treo|vodafone|wap|windows ce|windows phone|xda)/)
	};
}

//alert(checker.mobile);
if(checker.mobile){
	window.location = "http://m.airtel.in";
}

The suggested fix would be to add |mobi| inside their regex to catch FirefoxOS users (and probably a handful of other mobile devices that they miss).
