Reliance offers free unlimited local calls

MUMBAI: Reliance Infocomm has launched a prepaid Recharge Voucher (RCV) of Rs 440-denomination that allows unlimited local calls to any Reliance mobile or fixed phone within the circle. The Reliance Infocomm RCV is aimed at facilitating the large population of Reliance Infocomm subscribers who have heavy usage for local calls and wish to stay in touch with other Reliance Infocomm subscribers within their circle.

Under the Rs 440 RCV, tariff for calls to other mobile and fixed phones within the same circle is pegged down at 80 paise a minute, while tariff for STD calls remains unchanged. The Recharge Voucher is valid for 30 days from the date of issue.

Announcing the launch of the new scheme, Reliance Infocomm president -products and services SP Shukla said, "The Rs 440 RCV will be immensely useful to the Reliance IndiaMobile community which will soon be 10-million strong. The RIM community can now freely stay in touch within the same circle without any concern of talk-time cost."

According to the company, the new product will particularly be useful for small business personnel, entrepreneurs in multiple locations and traveling sales personnel, apart from families with more than one RIM connection. Also, families of a large number of students who stay out of the city for higher education could constantly be in touch with them without having to worry about talk time limitations.
