Reliance Info slashes fixed wireless tariff

Reliance Infocomm today announced special tariff structure for its prepaid fixed wireless phone (FWP) subscribers in Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Mumbai - slashing the prices up to 33 per cent.

Reliance Infocomm has also increased pulse rate of FWP subscribers to 90 seconds compared with the 60 second-pulse for making locals to non-Reliance mobiles.

"As a result, the new effective rate per minute works out to just 73 paise, down 33 per cent from the old rate of Rs 1.10", the release added.

The company has also introduced a special reduced tariff for calls from FWP to fixed lines between Mumbai and Delhi. The new rate is Rs 1.90 with an increased pulse rate of 60 seconds as against the old rate of Rs 1.10 with a 30-second pulse.

The new rate per minute works out to Rs 1.90, down from the erstwhile Rs 2.20, according to a press release.

S P Shukla, President - Wireless Products and Services, Reliance Infocomm, pointed out that "the new tariffs would be of immense benefit to frequent callers in particular."

Calls from Reliance FWP to all Reliance phones are already free under various prepaid schemes.
