The facility would be initially offered through Reliance WebWorlds -- Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Pune -- with other major locations being covered over the next few weeks, S P Shukla, president, wireless products and services, Reliance Infocomm, said in a release on Monday.
A monthly rental of Rs 99 would be charged for the service and charges for the calls made or received while roaming shall be as levied by the foreign network selected by the customer as per the standard global roaming norms, he added.
A roaming deposit would also be charged depending upon the creditworthiness of individual customers for availing this service, he said.
It is for the first time that a global roaming facility has been made available by a CDMA operator on GSM networks on such a large scale, Shukla claimed.
