To avail the services, existing customers should recharge an amount of Rs. 107 to any local Reliance numbers at 5 paise for 15 seconds and other local calls would be at just 5 paise per 10 seconds. This benefit would be for a period of 120 days from the date of activation, the release said.

Earlier this month, Reliance Communications had announced it will reduce its workforce by up to 5,500 employees from BPO and shared services operations as it tries to trim its debt. The country's fourth-largest telecom operator is on a cost optimisation drive through outsourcing of network management services and call centre operations.
