On a separate note, MTNL has decided to drop promotional offers for plans under which subscribers were charged on a per minute basis.
“As per TRAI, we can not offer more than 25 tariff plans. We are consolidating tariff plans and as a result stopped some of the promotional plans. There is no increase in tariff but we are rationalising tariff plans,” MTNL’s Executive Director for Wireless Services, A.K. Bhargava is quoted as saying.
MTNL, however, has not said anything on plans under which subscribers are charged on per second basis.
