Reliance Communications joins the league of biggies by hiking the tariff indirectly. Rcom revises its one of the most popular long term special tariff voucher – STV74 or Ugran plan.
With the latest revision there are some changes on STV74. First the validity was cut to 90 days from earlier 180 days, which is as per with TRAI’s directive (check, all operators are now offering 90 days validity on similar packs.) Now with STV74 you will get onnet local calls at 1paisa per 6 seconds (i.e. 10p/min), local offnet calls at 1p/2sec (i.e. 30p/min). Subscribers opt for STV74 will get full talktime on all topups starting from Rs 10.
The things you will miss are – now there is no SMS benefits with this pack, Local and STD landline call charges are now 1.5p/sec (i.e. 90p/min) and validity reduced to 90 days only.

shanoj January 28, 2013 at 5:00 pm
you are correct even i have faced many problem like this in my both reliance gsm numbers so i poted to tata.they are loosing their customers daily because of this and it is strange that they are not doing anything to stop this

Tamilnadu circle :
Yes. Well said. Even I faced when I ported in to reliance GSM from Airtel. When the days went on, situation went worse. So I changed to BSNL and kept that SIM aside. I am using Idea now (Rs.27 booster – all local mobile at Rs.0.25 per minute from the first minute itself. No conditions).
S.Sudhakar January 28, 2013 at 6:43 am
Previous benefits of Rs.74 in Tamilnadu and Chennai :
> All India SMS and local on net calls at Rs.0.05 per SMS / per minute.
> All offnet local calls at Rs.0.30.
> All STD calls at Rs.0.60.
> Free 500 MB 2G data per month
> Full talkvalue on all topups of Rs.10 and above
> Plan voucher with 180 days validity.
NOW :
> Local on net call at Rs.0.10.
> Local offnet mobile (only) call at Rs.0.30.
> 100 MB 2G data per month
> Full talkvalue of Rs.50 and above
> STV with 90 days validity.
All call rates are mentioned as per minute basis.
In Tamilnadu comparing Idea and Reliance GSM, Idea’s coverage is better. Idea has call forward (within Tamilnadu). So if Idea does not have coverage, just buy a BSNL number and divert all calls (when switched off or not reachable) to your BSNL number. Thats all. Why you need to spend for missed call alert in Idea?. But if BSNL number is also switched off, you will not get missed call alert as BSNL does not support missed call alerts for forwarded numbers.

Dear Vinayak,
In delhi for doing STD calls reliance provide cheapest call rates but only in Reliance to Reliance network.
For this you have to pay Rs.799/- and get 10000 Minutes for STD calls anywhere in India but for only in Reliance number.
Apart from that Aircel also provide cheap STD call rates of Rs. 0.40/minute.
But for the both above mentioned operators you have to compromised with network.
Unfortunately, Tata Docomo and Uninor is not available in Delhi who provides cheapest STD calls.
Rest operators in Delhi is costly i.e., Airtel, !dea and Vodafone…
Thanks!!!
Vinayakan January 28, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Thanks manish for you reply. But the second part of the comment not yet been got replied.

but aircel is going to be closed na????
SDee January 28, 2013 at 1:01 am
i dont understand why TRAI is not doing anything regarding the TERM UNLIMITED used by these operators… the so called unlimited is only for showing that the data connectivity is there but a user cant even properly use it…Just another way to rob n cheat customers…
Mayur Hawaldar January 27, 2013 at 7:46 pm
Still good…
Amit.G January 27, 2013 at 7:26 pm
All thanks to Airtel/Idea & Vodafone who dragged operators like Reliance,TD & Aircel to court for SMS termination fee & stopped sms services arriving from these operators.
Now as per TDSAT they are paying 5p/sms to biggies & vice-versa. This is the reason why reliance removed sms benefits. Even Aircel in Karnataka has started charging 50p for 1st 2 sms a day. Earlier it was RC 65, val 6 months, A-A- 1p/3sec, A-0 1/2p per sec & daily 100L+N sms free at no additional cost.
Mohan January 27, 2013 at 7:15 pm
74 Local R to R Mobile @ 10p/min, Local R to Other Mobile @ 30p/min, 100 MB 2G Data free/month, Full Talktime on all topups of Rs.50 and above this is the latest plan …:(
harman January 27, 2013 at 6:51 pm
reliance removed sms benefits because those who were running 5p sms for worth 14 were charged. 0.003 paise to local and 0.002 to std.
avis January 27, 2013 at 4:56 pm
You looting operators we accept the price hike, why the hell u all decreased the 2G speed? Provide the speed as per the norms, idiots…
Saurabh January 27, 2013 at 4:40 pm
The same pack costs Rs.73 here in Haryana and benefits have been revised to the one mentioned here. Instead of seconds here pulse is minute based. Luckily, I recharged on Jan 15th and previous benefits are applicable to me until July 13th, 2013. Asked my friends to do the same 3 days ago when others revised their packs. The STD rates have also been revised from 60p/min to 75p/min. Expect the SMS benefit that has been taken off, the pack is still good.
avis January 27, 2013 at 3:44 pm
Hey guys, what about the free data of 500mb each month on this pack?
Tharun George January 27, 2013 at 5:12 pm
500mb / month for 3 months.

Tata Docomo revises all its gprs pack in West Bengal circle. Now only 750mb @Rs.77,1gb @ 96, 1.25gb @ 126.
Shame on this operator. I have taken TD on July 2012,on that time I was getting 2.5gb @ 69, On August it was 2gb @69, On September it was 1.5gb @ 69, On November it was 1gb @69, And now on January 2013 it is 750mb @ 77. Lol
gaurav January 27, 2013 at 4:56 pm
No. 1 operator in india is tata docomo,u know why??
in 250, you will get full talktime and 1 GB 3G data and after that unlimited 2G data,and speed of 2G will be 20 Kb/sec..
Apurba January 27, 2013 at 4:58 pm
@Sayan, when i was using using docomo, it used to give 95 rs 6 gb data. Now it is only 1 gb. As TD provides best speed in my area, many of my friends using VIRGIN GSM, which uses TD’s network and gives 2.5 GB data @63 rs with 30 days validity. So i will advice u to take a VIRGIN gsm sim . I dont know abt ur’s area and availability, bt VIRGIN GSM is available in our area , i.e BANKURA.
prasad mayya January 28, 2013 at 8:22 am
but when contacted virgin cc they said virgin gsm sim is not available (thr mail)
HIAMNGSHU January 27, 2013 at 2:43 pm
Assam mai toh yeh 1p/2sec k plan hai hi nahi….
BSNL ke eelaba koi bhi network provide nahi kar raha hai Assam mai ey 1p/2sec plan….
To Telecomtalk… i have requested to Telecomtalk before, that in Assam no private players are providing 1p/2sec plan
So, please i requested to Telecomtalk to highlight my view about this plan for unlucky circle Assam
AsitPaul January 27, 2013 at 2:57 pm
We, the people of NE and Assam are always victims. See Aircel, it offers cheapest call rate in others circles, but costly in our circles.
Waiting for One India, One Circle.
