The packs offer unlimited free incoming calls, 2GB data and 250 mins of free calling to India and 100 free SMSes, daily. Post the exhaustion of pack data benefits, international roaming data will be charged at Rs 3/MB and outgoing calls to India & local calls to any network will be charged at Rs 3/ min.
