New Delhi:
AirTel today (Aug 31, 2004) announced new mobile tariffs for post-paid subscribers, slashing local tariff on AirTel-to-AirTel network to Re 1.
For availing the same local tariff for making call to any another mobile network (like from AirTel to Hutch, Idea et cetera), the subscribers would have to pay Rs 25 extra per month.
Under this plan, local call to fixed phones and WLL would cost Rs 2. The monthly rental has been fixed at Rs 150, an AirTel release said.
The STD calls would cost Rs 2 a minute on AirTel-to-AirTel and Rs 3 to other networks.
In another 'Local and STD Pack' scheme, AirTel has offered all STD calls at Rs 2 per minute, but with an extra Rs 75 per month besides Rs 150 rental.
Local and STD Pack includes advantages of both local and STD calls.
Last week, BSNL had slashed its cellular tariffs by up to 40 per cent to as low as 80 paise with a pulse of just 15 seconds and STD calls costing Rs 1.80 a minute.
