The Mumbai based service provider has just doubled its network and wants users to test the same for them. Thus the operator has unveiled a prepaid trial pack named as the “Network Trial Pack” for users to try the new upgraded services. The pack offers the user a free talk time of Rs. 1200 which is spread over a period of 120 days, which equals to 5 minutes offered per day. It is priced at Rs. 150 and has a validity for 60 days.
As for the charges, the “free calls” are charged at Rs. 1.99 and STD is charged at Rs. 2.49. However, the free talk time can’t be carried forward to the next day. If satisfied, the user can pay an additional Rs. 299 to get this pack converted to a lifetime prepaid scheme.
Though it is tough for people to understand the contents of the scheme, the basic objective of BPL to promote its Try and Buy strategy is evident.
The whole aura of “doubled network” is utter bullshit ! The 5 mins per day of free talktime is fine if you are not a seasoned caller …. The network sux … En par with vodafone. Having shifted to Airtel, I find this so much better 😉 I have really started liking Airtel so don’t mind vouching for it …
