Reliance Infocomm has proposed to offer three new tariff plans for its wireless in local loop (WLL)-limited mobility subscribers with local call charges ranging between Re 1 and Rs 1.99 a minute and STD rates between Rs 1.90 and Rs 4 a minute.
The reworked tariffs are nearly 150 per cent higher than the existing calls between two WLL phones at 40 paise a minute.
The three plans are in addition to the existing Dhirubhai Ambani Pioneer Offer, which offers calls between two WLL phones at 40 paise a minute.
