Videocon Mobile Services has announced that it will make incoming calls free while on roaming by default for all its subscribers. This will be offered without any processing fee or special tariff voucher.
Other players like Aircel had also made roaming free but it was restricted to specific tariff plans. But the catch is that the subscriber will get the benefit only if he roams on Videocon network. Videocon does not have pan-India operations and offers services in a few circles as of now.
Videocon had bought spectrum for six circles in Bihar, Haryana, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh East and Uttar Pradesh West in the auctions held in November 2012. Of this, it has started operations in 4 circles. It also has operations in Punjab.
For outgoing local calls, subscribers will have to pay Re 1 a minute and Rs 1.50 a minute for STD calls. Arvind Bali, Director and CEO, Videocon Mobile Services, commented, “To extend the benefits of freedom of movement across our network, we have introduced this offering where our subscribers roaming across Videocon Network will stand to benefit from free incoming calls."
