Reliance Infocomm has announced two schemes for its fixed phone service. In its venturing step, Reliance Infocomm has extended the One India tariff scheme for Reliance mobile phones to Reliance fixed wireless phones. A ‘life time incoming free’ scheme has been introduced for the fixed wireless consumers by the company.

S.P.Shukla, president, Wireless, Reliance Infocomm said, “While mobile tariffs have fallen drastically due to competition in the last three years, fixed wireless phone tariffs have remained more or less static and have not witnessed much innovation. We would like to revolutionize fixed wireless phone tariff with these two path breaking schemes. The One India scheme is designed to change the way people perceive and use long distance calls. The ‘life time free incoming’ scheme with absolutely “No Monthly Recurring Charges” will make the landline telephony more affordable for the masses.”

Under the One India tariff plan, Reliance fixed wireless customers can make calls to any phone, anywhere in the country, for just 1 Rupee per minute. The tariff for local and intra-circle calls to Reliance phones will be 40 paisa per minute and 1 Rupee for all other calls. The One India scheme will have a monthly rental of Rs 499.

By making a one-time payment of Rs 2999, Reliance customers will get life time incoming free on their fixed phones. The tariff will be Rs 1.20 per pulse for local calls, with the 3 minute pulse to local fixed phones and Reliance phones and 45 second pulse for mobiles in non-metros and 60 second pulse for mobiles in metros. Existing Reliance fixed wireless customers can also avail of this Lifetime Free Incoming offer by paying a one time charge of Rs 1999.
