BSNL Slashes STD Rates by 50% : India
0
Hi,
Another good news for Indians. The telecom war between companies led to huge drop in std tariff. It began when Airtel reduced their STD and roaming charges, followed by Idea and Vodafone. Now BSNL has joined the race with reducing their STD charges.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) today slashed STD charges on its cellular and fixed line networks by up to 50 per cent. The new tariff will be effective from Wednesday. I hope that the tariff cut could prompt rivals to bring down prices further. The time is near when we will be able to talk for free in India too. A very good news for VOIP in India.
Landline users would pay Rs.1.20 per minute as against Rs.2.40 for STD calls to all networks. Rural customers would pay 80 paise per minute for STD calls.
The charges for intra-circle calls to BSNL network were also reduced from Rs.1.20 per minute to 60 paise with an increased pulse rate of two minutes.For mobile phone customers, STD charges were cut to Rs.1.20 per minute for the same network and Rs.1.40 for other networks.
The roaming charges for all incoming calls were reduced — to Re.1 per minute from Rs.1.75 for all incoming calls; to Re.1 from Rs.1.40 for local outgoing; and to Rs.1.50 from Rs.2.40 for outgoing STD. The monthly rental of ‘Super One India Plan’ was reduced substantially to Rs.299 from Rs.799.
Sometime back we mentioned about Voip in India, and convex9 providing voip adapter in India. I hope many such providers will come forward, and in future calls to India from USA, Canada will cost no more than 1-2 cents.
