How to check validity, talktime and GPRS balance for Airtel, Tata Docomo, Reliance, Aircel, Idea, BSNL, Vodafone

I have always faced this issue of understanding what exactly I should type or dial on my phone to check my phone balance. Usually we never get help from the so called "Customer service person".
