Hi,
Virgin Mobile came with a bang in India. With red colored advertisements everywhere. Some really cool Television advertisements, they made a mark in India telecom industry. Few months back, we blogged about VirginMobiles they being first one to offer “get paid for incoming offer”.
This post is specially for our readers in India. If you are not from India, and came looking to make free voip phone calls you may Read the post about Tabrio offering free 5$ trial credit to make free calls to your destination. (Any country in world).
I am sure many of you must already switched to Virgin Mobiles as your service provider. If not, they have again bought a tempting deal for you. With Diwali this month, telecom provider try every method to increase their customer base.
Virginmobile has also come up with an amazing Diwali offer. Not only the STD has been cut drastically or by 33% but also the local phone call tariffs have also been slashed. Now with Virgin mobile India all STD and local phone / mobile calls are 0.50 paisa only for a minute, any network (not limited to their own network) at no extra cost.
Apart from giving you 10paise/min for incoming they have come up with a bak bak plan. Lets check out its details -:
Local = STD = 50p/min without any pack
How much does it cost to send an SMS?
Local Rs.1/- , National Rs.1.50/- , International Rs.5/-
All Local Calls @ 50p/min
Only first 3 Local mins of the day, would be charged @ Re.1/min
STD Calls @ 50p/min
Only first 3 STD mins of the day, would be charged @ Rs.1.50/min STD calls @ 50p/min subject to a maximum of 30min per day.
Additionally you get some free stuff too. “Rs.100 Free Talk time + 500 SMS Free + Starter Pack + Lifetime validity“
I guess this is too much of a deal for you to switch to virgin mobiles. I don’t think you will get any cheaper rates than that.
With Voip already in India, it would be difficult for telecom provider to survive in this market. Only way for them would be to offer some really cheap rates and such luring offers.
Its indeed a good start from VirginMobiles and I am sure more telecom providers will come up with such offers. (After all they need to survive in this telecom industry).
