Reliance Communications, India’s leading GSM and CDMA mobile service provider has announced two new tariff plans related to SMS.

The plans are – on paisa per SMS and unlimited SMS at Re.1 per day.

Both the plans are available for Prepaid as well as Postpaid subscribers. The new tariff plan is applicable for all Local, National & Roaming SMS’s to any network in India

It must be noted that Reliance Communications is the only GSM and CDMA player in India.

“SMS continues to grow every year with more and more innovative ways of utilizing its potential coming in the forefront. Indians are using SMS as a mode of communication to keep in touch with friends and family. With select subscriber groups, SMS is a preferred communication mode over voice calls. On account of significant tariff disparity in the recent months, it has lost its due share of attention. Considering this, Reliance Communications with its 1st in the industry initiative, aims to revitalize SMS usage in the country”, said Mr. Mahesh Prasad, President – Reliance Communications.

Also, important to note is the fact that the new plans being super cheap are only valid for non-commercial usage. In order to ensure that the plan is not mis-used, a fair usage policy of 15000 SMS’s/month is marked on the Unlimited SMS Plan.

Earlier last month, Reliance Mobile took the lead in unveiling India’s most affordable tariff plan SIMPLY RELIANCE at a uniform rate of 50p/min for Local, STD and Roaming calls followed by uniform calling rates of 1p/sec for Local, STD and Roaming calls. Based on the usage patterns, Reliance Mobile customers can also opt for unlimited calling plans of Rs. 1 per/3 mins call for local, STD and Roaming calls.
