GSM rates are seriously plummeting and with India on the verge of the 3G revolution, this seems like a good thing. Virgin Mobile India, that considers its prime demographic as the ‘youth’ segment has introduced a pocket friendly local calling pack for all its GSM subscribers. Their local pack of Rs.45 offers calls to any local number at just 1paise/2seconds which is the same as the 1/2 paise per second billing that some services, like MTNL have already had going since December of last year . This pack comes with a validity of 30 days and is available across Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Orissa, Mumbai and Maharashtra circles. The benefits of this pocket friendly pack will be available to Virgin Mobile users on both minute and second billing profiles. 

Madhusudan Mandyam, CEO, Virgin Mobile India said, “Our research shows that youth have a high propensity to talk more and are always on the lookout for innovative budget solutions to address their mobility needs. This pack is specially designed for Indian youth who are on per second tariff, giving them a leeway to make local calls for longer duration without burning a hole in their pockets.”

Consumers on per minute tariff are offered a differentiated tariff proposition of 20p/min for STD and local calls to any Virgin Mobile number. Virgin Mobile customers calling any other network will be charged at 40p/min for local and 50p/min for STD calls.
