Tata DOCOMO has come up with a yearly offer mainly emphasising on On-net Local and STD calling.This special pack offers calling to any Tata number (Tata Docomo,Tata Indicom, Virgin CDMA/GSM,T24) at discounted rates. Local Tata calls are charged as low as 1 paise/6 seconds and STD Tata calls at 1 paise/2 seconds for a period of 365 days. This pack is available for all new and existing subcribers in Maharashtra for both FRC and Special recharge. Alongwith the above tariff, Tata DOCOMO is also offering 2 GB internet usage for a period of 12 months.Following are the Tariff details:-
- FRC 61 for new customers and Special recharge of Rs.51 for existing customers with a Talktime of Rs.15
- First two minutes of the day are charged according to 1 paise/sec for Local and STD calling to Tata network following which a charge of 1 paise/6 seconds is applicable for local and 1 paise/2 seconds for STD calling.
- All other Local and STD calls at 1 paise/sec.
- First SMS of the day is charged at 60 paise followed by local and national sms at 10 paise/sms.
- 2 GB Internet valid for 365 days.
This scheme is good for people having high On-net usage but I dont see any buyers for this scheme except new customers because of the previous "Full On Bol" campaign which offered 2 lakhs On-net minutes for a price of Rs.94 valid for a year. The previous campaign registered a record intake making this scheme less interesting.Probably offering some discount on Off-net calling and free sms would have done the trick.Big guns like Airtel,Vodafone and !dea have launched their version of packs which offer 10 paise On-net and 200 local,national sms free everyday unlike 10 paise of Tata Docomo.However the On-net calling benefit of other providers are limited to only that particular pack unlike Tata Docomo which offers an independent calling benefit on any Tata number,prepaid or postpaid at a flat rate of 1 paise/6 seconds after the first two minutes of the day.

Its Party Time for TATA DOCOMO Fans. TATA DOCOMO turns 1 today. It was exactly a year back when TATA Teleservices Limited announced that its pan-India GSM service will be branded as TATA DOCOMO.

This was a Game Changer Plan, now almost every mobile operator offers 'Pay Per Second' Tariff. TATA DOCOMO provides 'Pay Per Second' Tariff as default tariff to all its Prepaid subscribers, in case of other operators one needs to recharge with some special voucher to avail 'Pay Per Second' Tariff for a particular period. Some of the Popular TATA DOCOMO's offerings are GPRS Packs, BuddyNet, Timed SMS, Diet SMS and DOCOMICS.
TATA DOOCMO made the "IMPOSSIBLE" possible. No-one would have thought that a new telecom operator will change the dynamics of the industry.
