This service is available on Reliance Mobile World enabled phones including the recently launched Reliance Classic range of phones starting from Rs. 777 (Black and White) to Rs. 1234 (Colour Phones).

Anil Pande, Head Product Development , Reliance Communications said, "India is the fastest growing market in the world with a large mobile customer base and is also the world's highest receiver of remittances. In this context we believe M-commerce will be the next big thing. Our association with ICICI Bank brings a paradigm shift in the way domestic Money Transfer business is conducted in India, which is predominantly being done through the banks and other agencies."

ICICI Bank's Reliance mobile customers can go to the 'Finance' section > R World> Mobile Bank>M Banking>ICICI Bank>Saving Account to avail of this offer.
