Tata DOCOMO keep surprising us with their offerings – They have been innovative from the word go. Even though they launched their services much later than most of the peers, they have probably done more in changing the landscape on how we use our mobile services.
From one second billing to unlimited GPRS plans to pay per call to Buddynet, they have been set the trend with their innovative mobile offerings.
Now, they have taken it further with by offering Daily Plans. A Tata DOCOMO prepaid Mobile subscriber can actually change his plan on daily basis to suit his daily needs. The operator is offering the plan is various categories namely, Talkathon, Night Birds, GPRS, World Calling and Entertainment.
The Talkathon plan for example offers 30 local minutes on Tata DOCOMO Network costing Rs 5, 30 local minutes for to her networks for Rs. 12, 30 local or national minutes costing Rs. 14 and 10 local minutes at Rs. 5.
So, if a user knows that he / she is not going to use more than 30 mins a day or wants to restrict his daily billing to not more than 5 rupees can opt for this plan without worrying about how much he will be charged.
To activate these plans, users has to just dial *141# from his Tata DOCOMO mobile phone and can choose plan of his choice.
Here are some of the other interesting plan details:

According to me, the GPRS plan will be quite attractive for mobile Internet Enthusiasts – offering 10mb for Rs. 5 is really attractive.
Again, I think Daily Plans have lot of potential to be popular amongst the pre-paid customer and most of these plans are targeted at rural mobile users who are very price sensitive.
Whats your take, will they catch on ?
