Mumbai, Oct 15, 2008: Reliance Communications (RCOM) today announced a unique plan that is set to re-define the mobile telephony market in India. With this latest plan from RCOM, pre-paid subscribers would now be able to make local calls at just 50p per minute and STD calls to any phone anywhere in India at just Re 1 for a lifetime by making a one-time payment of just Rs 550!

Announcing the offer, Mr S.P Shukla – President, Wireless Business- Reliance Communications said “Our earlier offering of Lifetime Validity at Rs 199 gave subscribers a Lifetime of incoming calls, thereby expanding the market manifold. We are indeed happy to offer yet another ‘value for money’ plan this festive season. Our subscribers with lifetime validity can now recharge just once with Rs 550 Jaadu pack Special to get local calls at just 50p per minute and STD calls to any phone anywhere in India at just Re 1 for life”

Prior to the Lifetime Jaadu pack offering today, lifetime validity subscribers were required to buy packs and special tariff vouchers every month for making affordable outgoing calls. Such subscribers needed to select from a plethora of options and buy these packs every month. With Lifetime Jaadu pack this hassle has been eliminated. Subscribers can not only avail affordable tariffs but can also now – buy once and forget for a lifetime.

Reliance has consistently pioneered affordable mobile telephony in India. After the path-breaking offers of India One tariffs and handsets @ Rs 777 last year, Reliance had made Lifetime validity offering affordable @ just Rs 199. These offerings brought mobility within the reach of the average Indian and dramatically transformed the telephony markets and industry in India.

The new Lifetime Jaadu pack of Rs 550 is available to both new and existing Lifetime Validity subscribers at over 500,000 E-recharge outlets of Reliance with effect from 16th October 08.

These tariffs are also available on Post-paid with a one time monthly subscription to a Rs 49 pack offering the same benefit.
