The new 'Family Plan' comes with a monthly rental of Rs. 499 for three family members, but customers can also add up to 2 more members at an additional cost of Rs. 150 per member.

In addition, under the monthly plan, customers can avail the benefit of PPS (pay per second) tariff and can make all national calls at 1 paise/second. Those who are more attached to messaging will be charged at 50 paise per SMS.

With the launch of Family Plan, we at Tata Teleservices take pride in understanding the individual needs and requirements of our customers and bringing personalized approach towards fulfilling the same. This plan is yet another key step in our constant endeavor to simplify and uncomplicate telecom services,”said Mr Vineet Bhatia, regional head (North-Central), Tata Indicom.

Starting today, all our Tata Indicom and Tata Walky post-paid customers can stop worrying about managing multiple bills, plans, payment datelines, etc. With this plan, they will benefit from buying into telecom as a single unit and consume from a large common pool of minutes and SMSes,” concluded Bhatia.
