Reliance Communications’ Reliance 3G mobile just a while ago has informed us that their is across the board Drop in 3G mobile Data Tariffs signalling the beginning of the 3G data Tariff War. Reliance Mobile 3G Data Pack which costed Rs 250 for 1 GB of Data will not cost Rs 123. 2GB Data Pack will not Cost Rs 246 and 4GB Data Pack costs just Rs 492. The Data Tariff cuts are applicable to both Pre-Paid and Post-Paid Customers of Reliance.

We note that the current 3G data pack pricing across operators is around Rs250 for 1 GB and Rs450 for 2 GB pack. Some players do have cheaper promotional plans for larger packs (e.g. Aircel offers a pack for Rs444 that offers 6 GB 3G data for 90 days); However, base pricing of a 1 GB pack is similar across operators

Ahead of the Reliance Jio 4G LTE Data Services Launch, RCom would like to get as many customers as possible on to its platform.

The company has simultaneously also rolled out Mobile Number Portability to Port-In High Value billing Consumers from Airtel and Vodafone with attractive pricing. But the key question remains, How Good Reliance GSM Network either to opt for 3G or Mobile Number portability compared to Airtel, Idea and Vodafone ?
