Reliance Communications (RCom) today announced a new rate plan — Simply Unlimited Pack — with unlimited talk time on a single monthly recharge for its CDMA pre-paid customers. However, the plan does not support SMS and other value-added services.

The local pack offers customers 3,000 minutes of call time every month to any local Reliance phone (Reliance GSM, CDMA or Fixed Line) and 900 minutes of free calls per month to any other network, with a cap of 30 minutes per day for Rs 299.

If customers shoot past the limit, they would have to pay 50 paise for every additional minute. National long-distance calls will be charged at 50 paise per minute.

The Simply Unlimited CDMA National Pack is available for Rs 599, offering 3,000 minutes of call time to any Reliance phone across the country and 900 minutes of call time to any other network, with a cap of 30 minutes a day.

Both plans will be available to consumers within the next three days.

However, consumers will have to go in for another recharge for SMS, GPRS and other value added services like downloading songs and ringtones. “For services other than calls, consumers will be charged as per rack rates which are prevailing now,” said Safawi

In response to the RCom offer, an MTS executive said, “We will come out with a plan which will be much lower than the Reliance offer in a few days.”
