Reliance international roaming service
|
 Reliance Infocomm has launched international roaming services that will allow
Reliance IndiaMobile (RIM) customers to roam internationally on GSM networks across 300 mobile networks in 172 countries.
RIM customers travelling abroad can subscribe to the service at Reliance WebWorlds. A SIM Card will be provided to the customer. This SIM card when used with a GSM handset will enable a RIM customer to receive all calls made to his/her number as well as make outgoing calls while travelling in any of the 172 countries. RIM customers using Removable User Identification (RUIM) Cardd enabled handsets such as GTran GCP 4020 and Telson TWC 1150 can activate International roaming feature on their RUIM card and use it with a GSM Handset.
International Roaming facility will allow a RIM subscriber to receive all his incoming calls and SMS messages sent on the RIM number in India on his GSM SIM card/RUIM card provided by Reliance.
"It is for the first time that a global roaming facility has been made available by a CDMA operator on GSM networks on such a large scale. With this unique roaming service, Reliance IndiaMobile is adding another dimension to its services, where RIM customers can get the dual benefit of receiving calls or SMS outside India forwarded
from their existing number and getting a consolidated bill for their global roaming as well as well as regulaw calls at their billing address in India," said S P Shukla, President Wireless Products & Services,
Reliance Infocomm Ltd.
A monthly rental of Rs 99 will be charged for the service. Charges for calls made or
received while roaming shall be as levied by the foreign network selected by the
customer per standard global roaming norms. The SIM will be issued free of charge and the RUlM card is already available with the customer. A roaming deposit will also be charged depending upon the creditworthiness of individual customers for availing International Roaming.
"The facility will be initially offered through
Reliance WebWorlds in top 9 cities which include Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Banga!ore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Jaipur and Pune. Other major locations would be covered over the next few weeks," added Shukla.
