Recently RCOM has announced SMS cost to be 1 paise only! This is the most logical pricing for SMS, according to me, as SMS does not use up any channel allocated for voice channels.
Reliance Mobile customers can avail of two revolutionary SMS tariff plans:
o One Paise per SMS with subscription fees of Rs. 11 a month.
o Unlimited SMS’s @ Re. 1 per day
The new SMS tariff plans are add-on plans and are applicable for all Reliance Mobile customers irrespective of CDMA or GSM network as well as prepaid and postpaid customers.
I hope, other operators too follow suit. This will be very helpful to users for exchanging messages.
Here is the news :
Telecom newsNEW DELHI: Reliance Communications (RCOM) on Friday cut texting (SMS) charges to 1 paise per message, upping the ante in an ongoing tariff war that has eaten into the revenues and profits of all telecom service providers. Subscribers of the country’s second-largest telecom firm can now text at 1 paise per SMS on buying a Rs 11 monthly voucher, or by opting for an unlimited SMS plan by paying Re 1 a day, RCOM’s president Mahesh Prasad said in a conference call with reporters. The scheme is available to the company’s subscribers on both GSM and CDMA platforms. Source.
