Tata DoCoMo launches per-second-billing for roaming calls
Tata DoCoMo, the GSM brand of Tata Teleservices Ltd, today extended its per-second-billing scheme to roaming calls, intensifying the tariff war in India’s fast growing wireless telecom market.
On Friday, Bharti Airtel, the country’s largest telecom operator by subscriber base, launched a new billing scheme that slashed roaming rates by nearly 60 per cent.
“We are delighted to announce yet another industry- defying offer to our subscribers–a transparent and pack-free roaming tariff plan of one paisa per second for all incoming and outgoing calls, both local and long distance, to all networks and types of phones (mobile or landline),” Tata DoCoMo, President, Deepak Gulati, President said in a press release.
“Tata DoCoMo subscribers will need no special packs or pay any hidden charges to avail this offer,” he added.
From Monday, subscribers across all 15 circles where the company has GSM services, will have to pay just 1 paisa per second while on a roam call, regardless of the network or type of phone the call is made to.
