It was about time. After the likes of Vodafone, Bharti Airtel and Reliance Communications, Tata Indicom has announced its new STD and national roaming rates. Prepaid subscribers can buy a Special Tariff Voucher (STV) worth Rs 69 to make STD calls at Re 1 per minute. Vodafone offers a similar STV that costs Rs 31 per month. However, Tata Indicom also offers all local outgoing calls at 49 paise per minute to these subscribers.

For postpaid users, the CDMA carrier has come up with a new plan under which subscribers will have to pay a rental of Rs 349 per month that will give them talktime worth Rs 349 with STD calling at Re 1 per minute and local outgoing calls at 50 paise per minute. Like all other carriers, Tata Indicom has also slashed its local outgoing calls and all incoming calls while roaming to Re 1 per minute.
