MobileFirst to have new tariff structure

By Our Staff Reporter

CHENNAI APRIL 7. MobileFirst, the alliance formed by four cellular operators — BPL Mobile, Escotel, RPG and Spice Telecom — plans to come out with a new tariff structure soon. The alliance will leverage the same to ensure that the best value is delivered on long distance tariffs and enable its members to tie-up with over 400 international networks and provide extended roaming reach. MobileFirst will offer enhanced value across tariffs, roaming, long distance calling and new generation technology and services to its three million subscribers.

The President and Chief Executive Officer, BPL Mobile, along with Sonjay Mohanty of Escotel Mobile, Dilip R. Mehta, Managing Director, RPG Cellular, and Umang Das, Managing Director-Corporate Afairs, Spice Telecom, hoped to maintain its individual identity in spite of its strategic move to come together to leverage synergies. All the four players will come out with individual schemes, which will supplement the schemes that are brought out by the individuals.

The Business Heads of all the four cellular companies said the alliance would also deliver a common customer relationship management platform to provide home network experience anywhere/anytime to its subscribers.
