Reliance Communications claims longer Lifetime Valdiity than others

New Delhi, Apr 2 (UNI) Reliance Communications today asserted its superiority in Lifetime Validy period due to longer remaining license period compared to other mobile operators in the field.

In view of Telecom Regulatory Authoriy of India's (TRAI) recent clarification that 'Lifetime Validity' product should be valid till the license period of the mobile operator, Reliance Communications said that its Life Time Product offers its customers a superior value of upto 15 years of free incoming period as it has longer remaining period of license than other leading mobile operators.

To further supplement its already superior offerings, Reliance is launching a new 10 year incoming product to offer customers more choice.

The new 10-year validity product from Reliance is comparable to the Lifetime Validity product offered by most other mobile operators.

The Liftime Validity products offered by mobile operators who had received their license in 1994 are valid till 2014, which is less than 10 years and in contrast, the product of Reliance communications is valid till 2021 which is almost 15 years from now, a Reliance Communications Ventures Ltd, release here said.

Announcing the initiative, Mr S P Shukla, President-Wireless, Reliance Communications said ''this new product at Rs 795 offers a 10 year incoming calling facility. This is almost as much as the Lifetime validity product of most operators. And in conjunction with the flexibility to choose any tariff rather than being tied down to any high tariffs, this product offers superior value to our subscribers.'' This recharge option of Rs 795 - currently available with E-recharge - comes with Rs 25 talk time pre-loaded. Customers needing to make outgoing calls occasionally can recharge with top-up micro-researches starting from Rs 10 and make outgoing calls at Rs 1.99 for a local call and Rs 2.99 for all other calls in India.

And just as in the Lifetime validity optin of Rs 995, a subscriber loading with Rs 795 recharge option will not be bound by any particular tariff plan for a lifetime. In Reliance India Mobile, the subscriber has the option to choose from the company's wide range of prepaid vouchers and tariff plans.

The subscriber also has the option of loading the Lifetime Validity Recharge option at Rs 995 and get incoming call facility upto 15 years, a Reliance Communication release said.
