Reliance extends OneIndia tariff

Special Correspondent

Fixed wireless scheme users to benefit

MUMBAI: Reliance Infocomm on Monday extended the 1 India tariff scheme announced recently for Reliance mobile phones to Reliance fixed wireless phones. In a parallel move, the company has announced a new zero rental, "life time incoming free" scheme, for its fixed wireless customers.

Under the One India tariff plan, Reliance fixed wireless customers will be able to make calls to any phone anywhere in India for Re. 1 a minute. This heralds a new era in the STD calls market with the tariff falling by as much as 50 per cent. The current fixed phone STD rates vary from Rs. 1.80 a minute under certain schemes to the more generic Rs. 2.40 a minute. The tariff for local and intra-circle calls to Reliance phones will be 40 paise a minute under the One India scheme while it will be Re 1 for all other calls. The One India scheme will have a monthly rental of Rs. 499.

The zero rental, life time incoming scheme brings the flexibility of mobile tariffs to fixed phones. For a one-time payment of Rs. 2,999, Reliance customers will get life-time incoming free on their fixed phones.

The tariff will be Rs. 1.20 per pulse for local calls, with the three-minute pulse to local fixed phones and Reliance phones and 45 second pulse for mobiles in non-metros and 60 seconds pulse applicable for mobiles in metros.
