R-Com launches per second billing plan

Mumbai, Nov 3 : Telecom operator Reliance Communications (R-Com) Tuesday announced the launch of its per second billing plan.

As per the new plan, to be effective Nov 5, R-Com will offer outgoing calls at one paisa per second across all sectors sans extra charges for short-duration callers.

The new offer follows the "Simply Reliance" plan the company launched last month, under which it charged 50 paise per minute.

Besides, it has also announced a new offer of Re.1 per three-minute call for long duration callers. Both these new tariffs would be available on GSM and CDMA networks, the company said.

In a similar development, another telecom service provider Loop Mobile Tuesday re-introduced its tariff plan of one paisa per second for all local and long distance calls for its prepaid subscribers.

It had first launched the plan in 2004, but withdrawn it later.

The companies' move comes after other telecom majors such as Tata Teleservices and Bharti Airtel launched per second billing systems.
