Aircel First Telecom to Launch Free Roaming Service

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.

Join Facebook on mobile and get Rs 50 talktime

Wohhh it was great when I heard this astonishing truth that Facebook is giving Rs50 talk time to its new users who join facebook via mobile.

Facebook has quietly launched this new talktime offer to lure new registrations via mobile phones by offering talktime worth Rs 50 for free in return.

Popular social network, Facebook has started a programme in India under which it is offering new users free talktime worth Rs 50.

So if a user registers himself/herself to Facebook through mobile using the URL - m.facebook.com/tt, his mobile number would get credited by Rs 50. Obviously, this offer is meant for new registrations only and is valid for registrations through mobile only.

After registration, a user has to provide his mobile number on the Facebook Talktime page. "Once you sign up and confirm your account, you will receive the talktime within three days," Facebook said.

Facebook has currently around 50 million users in India, 30 per cent of which reportedly access the social network through their mobile phones. It would thus be interesting to see how many Indian users actually signed up through this offer. Also if it becomes successful, Facebook would have a large database of phone numbers belonging to Indian users who voluntarily provided them during registrations.

It would be interesting to see if any other social network would like to take the same route of offering free talktime or freebies just to register and join a social network.

So guys what are you waiting for have your 1st free talktime joining facebook via mobile.....enjoyyy.
