MTNL Launches 3G Commercially in Delhi
Techtree News Staff, Feb 05, 2009 2202 hrs ISTReveals tariff plan
State-run telecom opertaor Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd (MTNL)
on Thursday finally launched its third generation (3G) mobile services, Jadoo, in
limited areas of Delhi.
MTNL had soft launched its 3G services in Delhi on December 12th last year.
Here's the information you've been so eager to know about -- 3G TARIFF!
- For activating Jadoo, one needs to pay Rs.500 plus taxes as activation charges and a monthly rental of Rs.599.
- An MTNL-to-MTNL video call will cost Rs.1.80 per minute, while such calls to other networks will cost Rs 3. The voice STD will cost Rs.3.75, and the voice ISD remains as high as Rs.30.
- A voice call on MTNL's own network will cost 60 paise per minute, where calls to other networks will cost Re.1 per minute.
- The domestic and international long distance (STD and ISD) call tariff will be as per the budget plan.
If cheap tariff is what got you excited about this roll-out, hold on the bhangra dance for a bit. These tariffs are promotional offers from the company, which will be valid for 3 months. So be prepared to shell out more money on 3G services once the promotional period gets over.
MTNL chairman and managing director R.S.P. Sinha had promised last month about rolling-out 3G services in Delhi around beginnng of February, and looks like he's kept his word.
"We have spent Rs.300-400 crore (Rs 3-4 billion) on the 3G services roll-out so far," revealed MTNL chairman and managing director R.S.P. Sinha. The company can currently support around 150,000 subscribers on its 3G infrastructure, he said.
