RCOM's 3G is cheaper then 2G Prices

The country's third-largest telecom operator Reliance Communications on Thursday dropped 3G data tariffs by more than 50%, bringing it with 2G mobile internet prices in 13 circles, including Delhi and Mumbai.

Well to start with i was driving today and heared an AD in radio about Reliance offering 3G at the rate of 2G. I could not belive at my ears but thought to myself that one or the other day this has to happened which i think may bring price war between all telecom operators and for you all and for me this is a good news

What could have made RCom to take this step,wouldn't it backfire if the fall in tariffs did not increase volumes sufficiently or just to increase customer base or to penetrate in 3G because even users using 3G phone doesnt really use 3G or to create a price war. Whatever it is we the comman man would be reaping the benefits

Airtel, Tata Tele, Vodafone and Idea have reduced 2G & 3G tariff's but after consuming your actual usage which according to me is a just a "marketing gimmick", they didn't reduced the plan pack and here is where RCOM has provided us an option

Tariff plans for 1GB of 3G data is Rs 123 which is almost same as the price of 2G.At present, 2G Internet for 1 GB usage costs Rs 125 on the RCOM's network.

	Reliance 2G	Reliance 3G
Price for 1GB of Data	125	123

Reliance Communications also reduced prices for 2GB and 4GB pack on 3G network to Rs 246 and Rs 492 respectively, which is around 35 to 45% lower than its competitors

Reliance Communications has 3G services in 13 circles that include Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal, Himachal Pradesh, Bihar, Odisha, Assam and the North East.

Time will tell us whether other telecom operators would slash 3G tariff or not if they do not then i am definitely going to convert to Reliance via keeping the same number again a plus from TRAI

Finally Kudos to Reliance Communications for showing us the real meaning of reduction of tariff of 3G

RCOM plus Aadhar Card equals Hassle Free Mobile Connection

RCom to offer mobile connection on Aadhaar verification

Reliance Communications has announced that it is ready to offer the first of its kind Aadhar authentication process in the country post successful testing of the services in both company owned and non company owned retail outlets. Customer verification has been a troublesome area for mobile operators and lately TRAI has put in place stringent norms and penalties for activating mobile connections against fake ids. Once launched Reliance will become the first telecom operator in the country to test the concept of Aadhar authentication from a non company owned multi brand small retail outlet. Reliance Communications is ready to launch the services across all circles post the necessary guidelines issued by DOT.

Under the service, customer seeking RCom mobile connection will not be required to submit photocopy of Aadhaar documents, customers can soon walk into any retailer in the country with their respective Aadhar card and then retailer can share the customer’s Aadhar profile details along with the biometric authentication details online with UIDAI server for real time authentication of the identity of the customer simply speaking there would be online connectivity between Rcom and UIDAI Server(s). After this process  the customer details can be fetched online from UIDAI server and the customer mobile connection can be processed with Reliance Communications for immediate activation. The customer verification process is thus undertaken through Aadhar authentication.
 

Aadhar online authentication process is a paperless and regulatory process to activate new mobile connection instantly. Reliance is the first telecom operator in the country to test the concept of Aadhar authentications from a non company owned multi brand small retail outlet.
