Mobile Call rates are at their rock bottom, one of the lowest in the world – However, just when you think that call rates cannot come down any further, there is another news which has come – Reliance Communication, the second largest mobile services company has launched and unlimited talk plan, that too for only Rs. 299/- local and Rs. 599/- for STD.
Although, there is not much talk about this plan in the media – It actually is quite a big deal. Imagine that you can talk the whole month on mobile locally for 300 bucks and around India for 600 bucks. No varying fees and worrying about mobile bills. Just call and talk and talk and talk…
Uninor recently announced the unlimited plan, but it was for select group of users like unlimited calls for students etc. But this offering by Reliance beats all that.
The best thing is you can be a pre-paid or the post paid customer, it does not matter – Anyone can subscribe to this plan !
This is nail in the coffin for land-line phones though – They are very shortly going to become endangered species I guess. Last couple of years they are constantly showing negative growth, and with these kind of plans, there is actually no reason for anyone to keep a land-line at home – It’d be ridiculous. I have already done away with my land-line phone a couple of months back !

I had taken a Rel gsm nano sim for my new phone from Juhu Gali Rel Mobile stores on 27-10-2015 @ about 7.30pm. I was assured that it will be activated in 20mins.This is not done even after 24Hrs.I have been calling the stores very frequently but there is no action. In the morning nobody was attending the phone, then there were different persons who were to be told the whole matter.Finally one Aarti who said she check
Thereafter since 3.30pm I am calling regularly but there is no response.When will my sim be activated? What action will be taken against such irresponsible agents?
hai,
after checking reviews i fill 299 plan is not good & reliance company has giving only 30 minuited per day to call other network.
but as per company add they give free calls to other network for 30 days.
please stop giving this type of add in website .
IT’S MY COMPLEND TO ALL RELLINCE CASTUMAR EXEU.I HAVE RECHARGE 299 LAST 18/03/2013 FOR 1 MONTH THEY HAVE LEPS MY ALL THE SERVICE BEFORE A MONTH.AFTER THEN NO BODY IS LISTION MY COMPLEND.SO WHAT CAN I DO FOR THIS COZ I HAVE LAST RECHARGE MASSAGE.
The biggest trouble is that public is made to suffer, and no one dare to come forward. TRAI is useless, TRAI is such a big organization, does not know anything about this advertisement ? is it beleivable. TRAI should take action even before public scream !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would say TRY this TRAI also along with telecom companies !!!!!!!!!!!!! This is also a scam, I would say very straight forward, to loot public. But Mr. Reliance please remember, that you cannot fool all the persons all the times.
Hi
every time i will recharge Rs:399/-, & need 399 plan only……!
Yyyp simply a great plan for reliance not for their users.
I am the regular user of reliance there is scheme of reliance package of 399 Rs out of that you will get 175 talk time and reliance to reliance unlimited call no charge only the 299 scheme is not good take only the plan of 399.
they are suppressing that scheme of 299 gives only half an hour daily to other local call. reliance is unreliable.
I agree… the service is very bad.
Reliance service is most horrible. I have paid Rs 299 at Reliance center near Saptagiri Towers Anantapur, AP. Actually I was driving from Hyderabad to Bangalore and had to re-charge on the way. After paying the amount I left the place and the amount was never credited. I called numbers 08554-320066 and 320088 and no body could offer any help. I had to drive back and ask them to do the needful. But no one knew what to do. One Mr Shaik Mohd Hussain came forward and started using abusive language and refused to activate or to give my money back. He literally told me to complain to any body – Mr Mukesh Ambani or his father. As I was getting delayed I had to leave with out any recourse to redress.
Most unreliable, even after paying Rs 299, amount is being deducted for every call. I have paid 299 on 10th December at KK Tele Links Reliance center Receipt No.10604 and the amount was not credited to my account. I had to go back 3 times and request them just for crediting my account. Most discourteous and horrible service.
not so bad.
for this month they have increased the validity to 45 days.
hii i am abinash, sir Reliance to Non-Reliance Local calls or Reliance to any local network Unlimited Mobile Talk for Rs. 299 only ! it is real
these plans already in air by TATA INDICOM since last 1 year as i m already using these plans …
so its not a new plan
just a copy of other’s plan
The Reliance is the most reputed company of India but the scheme of 299 and 599 they have provided is totally a fake scheme which does not give the benefits which it showed in commercial adds and it is a disgraceful thing on name of great Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani
Mr.” who so ever ” responsible for this disgrace should be shameful to do this and cheat customers.
While taking your new connections you people tell k we are a family so mr. responsible this is what u do to your family members cheat them
this is very shameless behaviour to reliance family members
suvankar
u r really a big bullshit ass kkind of a person
if u say airtel is bad u go to hell
not cz i hav 1
i use vodafone
but airtel is d best network in india…
Saurab.. agree with u regarding Airtel n even Vodafone is good..
yaar itna hyper kyu ho raha hai :P
Aircel, Airtel, Vodafone, this three are most bad service provider in this year 2010.
If Reliance is not good then who is good?
This is not an UNLIMITED calling plan. It has a limit of only 30mins to non reliance network per day. Reliance is fooling around people.
A well known firm like reliance is offering unlimited call facility to existing and new customers under Rs.299 plan and at the same time limiting the call duration to other net works to 30 minutes per day is simply a cheating.Please extend this duration to 4 hours per day.
Sudhakaran… y plead for 4 hours, when its said to be UNLIMITED????
299 pack is a very frauad pack of reliance communication of india. If reliance telcom has ability to 299 unlimited pack to any network then come forward and show it true.

Hi
just i have Need Local Calls Unlimited plans
Please get a plan of 49 R to R for 7days.
As rightly pointed out 299 Pack gets only 30 min/day of calls to other networks and not SIMPLY UNLIMITED as advertised by RComm.
Misleading promotional activities like this should be penalised heavily!!
does SIMPLY UNLIMITED means 30min/day…. and the ad no where mentioned the cap of 30 minutes per day !!
A bad move from RComm!
Nayan
It is high time TRAI intervened and penalise these companies for wrong catchy phrases which is actually misleading.
“Fair Non Commercial usage cap of half an hour per day would be applicable for Non-Reliance calls. All Non-Reliance calls beyond 30 mins/day will be charged at 50p/min”
This is purely an Unfair Commercial deal…

This company are telling lies bcoz they are telling that they will give unlimited local cal on any network but i went to gallery and then they are telling that they will give only 30 free local minutes to any network in a day and 2700Appro min for rel to rel.
then how they are telling there is unlimited local calls to any network.
so now as your wish
I wish some telecom company looks to giving such attractive rates to International calls.
Actually I dont understand why ppl have to pay any thing at all. Once telecom companies install infrastructure (buildings, network, towers, satillites) all run virtually free of cost. All the expenditure that comes is running cost (salaries to employees, elec bills, taxes) which are virtually nil compared to the whole set up. So once telecom companies get back their investment, they should offer free calls anywhere (by collecting monthly nominal charges for running costs).
Where is unlimited plan, 299.00 is pull talk time plan. Reliance bleme us as a unlimited plan. and Know customer care staff also not respancing me. Reliance is one of unfaithfull company. same on your survice
