Mumbai , April 5

RELIANCE India-Mobile's data and applications service R-World has earned revenues of over Rs 2 crore within just five days of the service going paid.

The company on Monday announced that R-World earned revenues of over Rs 1 crore from just two days of it becoming a paid service.

Over the last five days, R-World got over 1.5 crore hits resulting in revenues of over Rs 2 crore, according to a news release from Reliance Infocomm. Nearly 50 per cent of the hits were driven by cricket fever - over the ongoing Indo-Pak one-day international series.

Over two million users used R-World Day Pass, which costs Rs 3 a day. One million of them logged on to R-World for cricket score updates.

R-World Day Pass is similar to the railway season ticket, where the mobile phone user pays a one-time nominal charge to access the R-World server for unlimited usage for a day.
