In its endeavour to offer best customer value, Reliance Infocomm has slashed the STD tariffs of Reliance IndiaPhone, its Fixed Wireless phone (FWP) and Fixed Wireless Terminal (FWT) services for Intra-circle calls and Inter-circle calls to landlines by about 25%. The New Tariffs will come in to effect across the country from today May 11, 2004.

STD rates from FWP/FWT to landline phones within the circle in the distance slab of more than 100 KM have been brought down to Rs.1.65 for Plan 500, Rs. 1.50 for Plan 1000 and Rs.1.35 for Plan 1500 from Rs.2.2, Rs.2.0 and Rs.1.8 respectively.

Additionally, STD rates from FWP/FWT to landline phones outside the circle in the distance slab of more than 200 KM have also been brought down to Rs.3.30 for Plan 500, Rs. 3.00 for Plan 1000 and Rs.2.70 for Plan 1500 from Rs.4.4, Rs.4.0 and Rs.3.6 respectively.

The reduction in the call charges is due to the increase of pulse duration for Intra-circle calls from 30 sec to 40 sec and for Inter-circle calls from 15 sec to 20 sec in the above mentioned distance slabs. All other call charges remains unchanged.

"With this Reliance IndiaPhone will be one of the most economical telephone services in India with an unbeatable value proposition for all user segments. It also offers wireless Internet Access service (R-Connect service), which is not offered by any other basic telephony service provider," says Mr. S P Shukla President (Wireless Products and Services), Reliance Infocomm.
