Tata Indicom has launched per second billing for Mumbai,Maharashtra and Goa subscribers following the successful launch of their GSM brand Tata DoCoMo with similar concept.This is a special plan directed towards people who are still using the traditional 1rs/min calling tariff in these circles.To avail this plan user has to recharge with 61 Rs E-recharge available at all Tata Indicom outlets and dealers.This special voucher comes with a validity of 60 days and gives 1 paise/sec tariff for all local calls(On-net and Off-net) in Mumbai,Maharashtra and Goa.STD calls are charged at 2 paise/sec until the voucher expires.There wont be any change in sms rates.So to sum up,here is what you will get:
Recharge Amount- 61 rs
Tariff Validity- 60 days
Tariff-
1.All local calls,including landline at 1 paise/sec in Mumbai,Maharashtra and Goa circle.
2.All STD calls,including landline at 2 paise/sec in Mumbai,Maharashtra and Goa circle.
3.No change in SMS Rates.
We Say:- This voucher is only useful for people who are not on Lets Rock Plan in both circles.Tata's New Lets Rock plan allows a user to call any local mobile for as low as 50 paise/min during day and 25 paise/min during night.This plan is a huge hit among youth so the chances of youth shifting to per second billing is very less.Lets Rock plan gives STD calling at a flat rate of 1 rs/min..on the contrary this voucher gives STD calling at 1.20 rs/min which is costly.Tata has launched this offer to lure the customer with the per second billing concept but with plans such as Lets Rock already in existence,the 61 rs voucher will have to struggle a bit to attain credibility in both Mumbai,Maharashtra and Goa circles.

“The pay per call concept is unique and is being launched for the first time across India. It significantly reduces customer confusion arising out of complex rate plans, day/night charges, on-net/off-net charges and other fine print. It gives telecom consumers freedom to talk to their heart’s content without any of the hassles they face on the charging front,” Mr. Vineet Bhatia, COO Delhi & NCR, Head North Region, Tata Teleservices said, “The product is the result of research and studies to understand consumer trends and usage patterns—customers who opt for this plan will no longer have to worry about the cost every minute of a call. Also, the fact that this offer is for both local and STD calls makes it unique, something that holds the potential to completely redefine the Indian telecom pricing paradigm,” he added.
“With the Pay Per Call offer, Tata Indicom has changed the very currency of pre-paid mobile tariffs. While a customer typically pays Re. 01, or Re. 0.30, or Re. 0.50, or Re. 1 as call rates per second or per minute, depending on the tariff plan they have chosen with various telecom service providers, they will now be charged a flat rate of Re. 1 for any local call, and Rs. 3 for any STD call, regardless of the call duration! This will change the very perception of charging, as seen by telecom subscribers today,” Mr. Bhatia said.
