Good in letter and spirit. Other Telecom companies should follow with similar products and all the operators should now offer free roaming services across the country.
Aircel today launched a product that offers users one rate for voice, SMS and data in home circles and on roaming.
'One Nation, One Rate', offers one rate for voice, SMS and data in home
circles and on roaming on Aircel network, the company said in a
statement.
"Incoming calls while on roaming on Aircel network will be free," it added.
Aircel users in Delhi can avail the service for Rs 39, while Mumbai subscribers have to pay Rs 32, the statement said.
The price points for the service for other circles range from Rs 21 to Rs 59, it added.
"...this product will enable Aircel customers to enjoy one rate for
voice, SMS and data services in their respective home circles and even
while they are on roaming," Aircel Chief Marketing Officer Anupam Vasudev said.
The product will offer voice - (Local/National) calling at
1paisa/second in home circle as well as on roaming on Aircel network,
while incoming calls on roaming will be free.
SMS will be
charged at Re 1 for home circle as well as on roaming while data users
will be able to carry the home circle rate on roaming, the statement
added.
But it is well disappointing that it has removed it services from Visakhapatnam.
You might be knowing about what Raspberry Pi is all about. Raspberry Pi provides users to learn Coding in an hour and its also termed as the small computer. At the the Raspberry Pi
event held in D.C. from 28 September to 3 October, network and communications giant
Broadcom used the Linux machine to teach children how to program a game in an
hour.
Starting with a snake game,
middle-school students--most with no background in programming, were given a
Raspberry Pi during their breakfast programming session. They were asked to
expand on the game with an aim to make it a little different within an hour.
Kids were segregated into six groups of five; and each group was also assisted
by a Broadcom employee and a student from Howard University.
It is worth mentioning here
that kids could successfully turned snake into a multiplayer game. They also
created a version of the game with holographic apples that the snake would pass
through rather than eat.
And now The Raspberry Pi is
expanding its wings big time. At a pocket friendly price of $25 for the
Model A and $35 for the Model B, the guys at Elastix open-source unified
communications outfit has come up with a new version of Elastix 32
named as μElastix to power the Raspberry Pi with Voice over Internet
Protocol (VoIP). The μElastix will allow Raspberry Pi users to make
cheap Internet calls, thus, giving full operational versatility to the
credit sized mini CPU.
In the unified communication
module VoIP is just a part of it. Elastix can do several other
operations. Here's a diagram of the functionality:
Great Raspberry Pi can work wonders! People have tried to stuff the Pi in
almost every kind of gadget. A photographer stuffed the Raspberry Pi
into a DSLR camera to convert it into an amazing computing device and
also not to forget the Raspberry Pi powered keyboard.
Now a days there are
countless Raspberry Pi projects that are being tested. Coding geeks can
even start their own business by making a new device out of the
Raspberry Pi. If you are new to coding, you can start your coding
lessons by purchasing this sweet Pi. Raspberry Pi can fit into all
spheres of computing. You can create a home security system or a media
center and even can use it for gaming. The best feature is you can even
afford to step up the gas and overclock it. The Raspberry Pi can be
customised in every way, despite the fact that the device was built to
provide an affordable yet functional computer for students to learn the
basics of programming and software development.
The giant social networking site Facebook is now all set to allow its user to call freely and it was all possible because of a new application in the app store named Plingm.
A new smartphone app named
Plingm will now allow you to make free phone calls within your Facebook
contacts without dialling even a single digit. Plingm, a Swedish mobile
VoIP, has introduced free phone calls for Facebook's one billion users.
"Mobile numbers are legacy. By calling friends with our Facebook
feature, you can always reach the person you want to speak to even if
they change their number", said Pandelis Eliopoulos, co-founder, Plingm.
"With the growing use of social media, the possibility to call your
Facebook friends directly without a phone number is a logical evolution
of mobile communication.”
Using this application is
pretty easy. Download the Plingm app from the App Store and accept to
connect with your Facebook account. The app automatically scans and
imports all your contacts. Calls between Plingm users are free,
regardless of whether you are in the same town or on the other side of
the world.
According to Plingm, “With
the numbers steadily increasing and an impressive consumer rating on App
Store, the mobile VoIP app Plingm combines high sound quality with
user-friendliness. All calls made to other Plingm users are free,
regardless where they are in the world and there is no time limit.
Calling with this service instead of a traditional operator will save
people large sums of money, particularly on international calls. At a
low fixed rate, consumers can also call friends not yet using Plingm.”
