Reliance Communications Offers Unlimited SMS at Re. 1 Per Day

16 Dec, 2009, 1:07 pm IST | tech2 News Staff |

GSM and CDMA mobile service provider Reliance Communications is looking to make SMSs more affordable by unveiling two tariff plans  - one Paise per SMS and unlimited SMSs at Re. 1 per day.

The new SMS tariff plans are add-on plans and are applicable for all Reliance Mobile customers irrespective of CDMA or GSM network as well as prepaid and postpaid customers.

"SMS continues to grow every year with more and more innovative ways of utilizing its potential coming in the forefront. Indians are using SMS as a mode of communication to keep in touch with friends and family. With select subscriber groups, SMS is a preferred communication mode over voice calls. On account of significant tariff disparity in the recent months, it has lost its due share of attention. Considering this, Reliance Communications with its 1st in the industry initiative, aims to revitalize SMS usage in the country", said Mahesh Prasad, President - Reliance Communications.

All Reliance Mobile customers, regardless of the tariff plans they have for voice and data services, can avail of the 1p/SMS plan by subscribing to a Standard Tariff Voucher of Rs. 11 per month. The unlimited SMS plan can be subscribed to by Reliance Mobile customers on a daily deduction of Re. 1 per day from their prepaid balance.

These tariffs are applicable for non-commercial use only. To prevent these attractive SMS tariffs being misused by telemarketers a fair usage cap of 15000 SMS's/month is applicable on the Unlimited SMS plan. As per TRAI performance indicators, an average customer sends 25 SMS's per month and the 15000 SMSs/month cap is 600 times more than the average usage for the month.

Customers using these tariff plans for commercial use will be immediately disconnected.
