Thread: NetOne - Doubt regarding tariff

First of all, please forgive me for posting such a query here. There are no Dial-up forums available for me. That is why I am posting this here.

I have a confusion regarding the tariff of NetOne.

Is the usage on Holidays and Sundays really free?
If yes, does it mean that it is completely free, or is it just that 10 paise per minute charge that the user is being exempted of?

I couldn't find a good answer even after googling about it for a good amount of time.

It would be better if anyone with any experience in this share their knowledge. If anyone can make out any answer for this, please respond.

only ISP charge free. pulse rate as applicable. and ISP charge is 10p/min not 10p/sec.

Ya you are right 10 paise/min to surf internet will be free on Holidays and sundays, but you will be charged for the telephone charges which is required to dial into for the service.

even i couldn't find any solid information on this. But I'm reasonalbly sure , that only the internet is free (ie 10p/m ) BUT the PHONE CHARGES APPLY.

Its similar to the tactic used by BSNL last when it offered two months of dial internet for free.

I have billing details confirming this.

Hmm.. So I will have to restrict my usage to once or twice a month just as I thought.


But, is there any time when the pulse rates don't apply?

well it says 900s pulse rates in night and 400/450 in morning, so night is ur best bet !

A year back it was some 16 rupees for an hour. Not sure. Not used recently.

day time pulse 450 sec i.e. 7.5 min pulse.
@ Re.1/pulse Rs.8 plus ISP charge 10p/min i.e. Rs.6 total Rs.14/hr. (Rs.8/hr on holidays and sundays)

night time pulse 900 sec. i.e. 15 min pulse.
@ Re.1/pulse Rs.4 plus ISP charge 10p/min i.e. Rs.6 total Rs.10/hr. (Rs.4/hr on holidays and sundays)

night definition : 2230 hrs to 0730 hrs

wow, not bad. when it was first introduced way back in 2003/04 it costed Rs.36/hr

This looks pretty neat than I expected.
Thank you everyone.
