Roaming may get cheaper as TRAI calls for 80% rate cut
Call and messaging charges while roaming may head south after the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) on Friday proposed sharp 35% and 80% cuts, respectively, to the maximum rates that operators can charge for these services.
Trai has proposed to cut down maximum charges that can be imposed on outgoing local calls during roaming to 65 paise a minute, from the ceiling rate of Rs 1 per minute; to cut STD call rates during roaming to Rs 1 per minute, from a maximum Rs 1.5 per minute; for incoming calls, a maximum of 45 paise per minute, instead of 75 paise permitted at present; and a maximum of 25 paise per SMS sent by customers when they are roaming, compared to the prevailing ceiling tariff of Rs 1.50 per SMS.
