Reliance Info unveils post-paid plan Joy 499

Our Bureau

Mumbai , Sept. 2

RELIANCE Infocomm, which started the price war in mid-August with its new prepaid tariffs, has now announced new postpaid tariff plans, the notable feature of it being a call rate of 40 paise per minute from Reliance Indiamobile (RIM) to RIM or from RIM to Reliance Fixed Wireless Phone/Terminal under the Joy 499 plan.

Under this plan, which the operator claimed is "arguably the most simple and attractive offer in the industry," all other calls, including STD, would cost Re 1 per minute, said a news release.

"This is the natural extension of our endeavour to make mobile telephony much more affordable. This, coupled with the Value Roaming facility at home rates and the industry's lowest SMS charges, makes the RIM Post Paid subscription the most attractive deal," Mr Inder Bajaj, Head, Special Projects at Reliance Infocomm.

Reliance Infocomm has also announced newer versions of its popular Plans - Joy 149 and Joy 399. Under New Joy 399 also customers will be charged 40 paise per minute to RIM and FWP/T.

Under New Joy 149, the tariff for local and intra circle calls is 99 paise/minute for RIM to RIM and Reliance FWP/T. Customers also have the option to avail themselves of 99 paise/minute for calls to other mobile phones by paying an additional monthly rental of just Rs 25, under Joy 149.

Customers of Joy 399 and Joy 499 would also enjoy ILD rates of Rs 12.99 per minute for calls to the US, Canada, Europe, UK and South-East Asia.

Existing subscribers under other plans have the option of migrating to Joy 499 and new versions of Joy 149 and Joy 399.

Another big advantage for Reliance Post Paid customers will be that they can roam on home tariff across India, resulting in savings of up to 80 per cent, said the news release.
