The Tata Group company has reduced its 2G and 3G data volume-based charging tariffs by 90 per cent. It has reduced 2G and 3G data tariffs by 90 per cent for its GSM customers, effective July 1, it said in a statement.
The revised tariffs will be applicable on 2G data packs – RC (recharge coupons) of 126 (2GB for 30 days), 149 (2.5 GB for 30 days) and 249 (3 GB for 60 days) and 3G data pack – 255 (2 GB for 30 days).
