Patna,Uncongested state of the art network and 1-click myuninor portal will deliver faster internet and superior browsing experience
Uninor today announced the launch of data services on GPRS for its pre-paid subscribers across the nine states of UP, Uttaranchal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh where its service is available today.
The limited period free trial offer for internet browsing will be available till May 6. Subsequently, data services will be available through a base plan with tariff of 10p per 10kb. Customers will also be able to access the service through two products - myconnect 9 priced at Rs. 9 thats valid for 3 days and allows free browsing upto 60MB and myconnect 90 priced at Rs. 90 thats valid for 30 days with 3GB of free browsing. For both plans, usage beyond free data will be charged at 10p per 10kb. Both plans also allow customers free access to popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked-In.
We had stated earlier that a lot can be done using the opportunities already available on 2G platforms to offer a good quality data experience and services. We make that start today, said David Meneghello, Executive Vice-President, Marketing at Uninor.
Keeping it simple, getting data started will be a single step process. Customers will not need to search and download GPRS settings. All that is done automatically for most handsets, by Uninors Automatic Device Setting Server, as soon as a Uninor SIM is inserted into the phone. The system detects the device make and model and automatically sends data settings to the phone. Accept and start surfing.
Myuninor WAP portal is as simple as it gets. Only 6 icons on the homepage with loads of content behind them. The portal loads faster and you dont waste time and money trying to navigate to what you want.
Its transparent too. How much data do you use when you send an MMS? Most subscribers have no means to calculate this. Yet, operators bill an MMS basis how much data was transmitted. MMSes on Uninor will be charged at a standard Rs. 5 per MMS. No other charges that you cannot see.
Uninor will focus hard on data, building on our data capabilities to launch many more exciting ideas soon. We have some solid experience in markets very similar to India with unique and successful data-based applications. So watch this space for innovation, said Meneghello.
