Its RIM to RIM.

Its difficult to find such packages in the prepaid segment. Most of the providers give away STD packs in postpaid.

As of now there are two options,

1> If duration per call is high,
Reliance pre-paid connection with Rs.39 STV (valid for 30 days)
First minute of each call : local Call Re.1/STD Rs.1.50
second minute onwards for each call : local/STD 50p
Valid for all operator.

2> Duration per call is low
Virgin Prepaid default plan
Local Call per day : First 3 min per day : Re.1, from 4th min per day 50p
STD per day: First 3 min per day Rs.1.50, 4th min - 33rd min 50p, 34th min onwards Rs.1.50

@ cool techie
RIM Prepaid Rs.496 is no longer available for new customers. only old customers can recharge and continue.

what would be the total cost of actualization?

Handset + connection?

When taking a new connection only the cost of the handset comes into play. The rest are provided for free. If u are opting for a postpaid connection, then u will have to pay the security deposit too.

Yes it is available with lifetime plans too.

If interested please get in touch with the nearest Reliance Web World for further info.

As cool techie already has indicated in R-CDMA, in case of new connections, u only pay for the handset and the connection comes free.
The above indicated tariffs are applicable for lifetime also as long as u make a STV (special tariff voucher) recharge of Rs.39 every 30th day. Pl. remember that the STV only entitles to the tariff plan and actual usage would be adjusted against normal talk-time balance available in your account.

Checkout with Vodafone CC. I used to make STD calls @ 1/- per minute some months back by recharging for 50/-. This offer was valid for 30 days only.
