Airtel ushers in simplified roaming tariffs

Reiterating its commitment to driving affordability in the Indian telecom market, Bharti Airtel India’s leading mobile services provider announced a reduction in roaming tariffs that are at par with existing local call tariffs.

With effect from February 15, 2007 Airtel mobile users can avail significant lower roaming tariffs. All local calls while roaming will be charged at Rs 1.40 per min., STD calls at Rs 2.40 per min and incoming calls while roaming will be charged at Rs 1.75 per minute. These revised tariffs spell huge benefits for the Airtel user as they save close to 55% on local calls and 40% on STD calls. Equally promising are savings on incoming calls while roaming that are around 56%. In addition, the monthly roaming rental of Rs.49 has been waived off.

Mr Sanjay Kapoor, Joint President, Mobile Services, Bharti Airtel Limited, said, “Every Indian travels across the country for work, to meet their social commitments or on vacation. We now usher in an era of simplified roaming tariffs wherein all Airtel mobile users will benefit from our seamless network and have the opportunity to make calls while traveling anywhere in India.”
