HFCL offers uniform tariffs across all networks

PTI[ WEDNESDAY, JULY 19, 2006 07:20:51 PM]NEW DELHI: Punjab based telecom operator HFCL on Wednesday became the first service provider to offer uniform call rates across all telecom networks and announced that all calls from its service "Connect" would be local calls.

All calls would cost Rs 1.20 per three minutes for calls made to any telecom network in the state of Punjab and Chandigarh, be it on GSM, CDMA, WLL or fixed line phone, thereby making every call a local call, Mahendra Nahata, Chairman, HFCL Infotel, told the agency.

The company would be asking for a commitment of minimum Rs 290 per month out of which the subscriber would be getting free calls worth Rs 150, he said adding actually the subscriber would be paying just Rs 140 a month.

Asked whether such tariffs were commercially viable, Nahata said, "we have been able to do so mainly due to our own fibre optic network throughout the state and Chandigarh."

Along with this the company has decided to offer caller line identification free of cost.

The new tariffs translate into reduction of call charges by 75 per cent and HFCL has become the first operator in the history of Indian telephony to offer such tariffs like uniform rates and pulse rates across all telecom networks.

The new tariffs would come into effect from today, the company said.

So its back to the old days when charges from your BSNL/MTNL landlines were same to all categories of phones - landlines, cells etc.

hfcl is a small company and does not have any competition with the bigger sone, so dont hope other big company to run on the same road.
