Reliance India Call partners SNAP

 BANGALORE, INDIA: Reliance India Call, the Global Calling Card brand of Reliance Communications, has teamed up with SNAP prepaid cards to enable their customers who do not have a credit or debit card, to pay for services online.

 "Consistently delivering on superior customer benefits and value has  enabled Reliance India Call to build an active and loyal base of over 1.2 Million Global customers", said V.K. Aggarwal, President, Global Business – Reliance Communications.

"This tie-up with SNAP would enhance  convenience to our existing customers, as well as enable new customers who do not own a bankcard, or those who do not want to use a bankcard  nline, to enjoy all the benefits of online commerce – including topping up their  Reliance India Call prepaid accounts in order to make high quality, value for money, international phone calls".

 To mark the launch of their new partnership, Reliance India Call and SNAP are offering 30 minutes of free additional talk time to India to the first   1,500 customers who use their SNAP Card to register with Reliance  India Call / Reliance Global Call's prepaid plan, or those who top-up their existing accounts.

 "Until recently, only those with credit or debit cards could take advantage  of the savings and convenience of online commerce," said SNAP chief executive Erik Holst-Roness.  "But now, with SNAP, everyone can join in,

regardless of age or credit status.  And our new partnership with Reliance  India Call extends those benefits to anyone making international phone calls."

 SNAP Cards are available for free at thousands of newsagents and other locations, across the UK and can be topped up at more than 20,000 outlets,  including Post Offices.  No registration is required.  And there are no charges for using SNAP – no monthly payments, no transaction charges, no "topping up" fees. SNAP is like using cash – but safer.  

The new partnership between Reliance India Call and SNAP will be officially launched today at the Reliance India Call Asian Lifestyle Show 2007, the annual celebration of British Asian culture and entertainment that is being held at the Olympia Exhibition Centre in London (July 6-8).

Visitors to the three day spectacle of food, fashion, music and entertainment will be able to pick up a free, specially-branded Reliance India Call SNAP Card that can be used just like any other SNAP Card to buy

goods and services online.
