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 PTI.
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 Wednesday, the company said.
