savramesh 37 Report post Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) Source PATNA: Vodafone, a leading telecom service provider, today launched the one paise per second call scheme for both local and STD calls in Bihar and Jharkhand. Vodafone's one paise per second call rate facility would be available for both new and existing customers, a company release said here. The new customers would have to recharge with Rs 14 to get the per second call facility while all the existing subscribers can avail this facility with a one-time recharge of Rs 15 which would also enable them (customers) a full talk time of the same amount (Rs 15). The one paise per second rate would be available for one year and would also be valid for calls made to any operator across the country, the release said.

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 If Airtel or Voda were to introduce even RCOM's Simple plans across India, their existing revenues will be hit very much. Hence they will not experiment now. Maybe in new areas, they can still come out with such plans but on a pan India portfolio, we will have to wait for eternity.....

pasumark 51 Report post Posted October 20, 2009 Slowly but surely they would have to match Reliance or Docomo even in their existing circles. Or else they would not get more new additions. See Airtel has planned to increase its subscriber base from 11 cr to 20 crores by 2012. I feel, this will not be possible without introducing per second billing.

KumaarShah 143 Report post Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) A cousin of mine who is in RCOM told me that Airtel will lose Rs 10000 crore from their existing revenues and Voda / Idea will lose more than Rs 6000 crores if ever they try to match RCOM's Simple plans, forget DoCoMo's PPS plan. Airtel/Voda/Idea will not take such a huge risk with their ARPUs. So, enjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyy with RCOM's SImple plans....
