The company recently offered the offer pack called ‘Paanch ka Dum’ which is a unique voice pack for its customers in Andhra Pradesh. This pack offered consumers to select any one of the voice benefit from- community calling 5AM to 5PM free, community calling at 1p/ 6 seconds, Half paise local calls, Half paise Local + STD Call and ISD, in Rs. 5 only.
