With the Department of Telecommunications approving the sale of ‘calling cards’ by telecom companies, international and domestic tariffs are set to drop further. It will also give the subscribers the freedom to choose from a plethora of calling cards for making STD or ISD calls.
The Telecom Commission has approved the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI)’s recommendations that were forwarded last year, which comprised the use of calling cards.
Minister of State for Communications and Information Technology Jyotiraditya Scindia told journalists here: “It would offer flexibility to consumers to choose their carrier for making long-distance calls. A person who wants to call up a specific country and region can choose the cheapest tariffs available in the market.”
As in the West where an array of calling cards allows subscribers to pick and choose any operator as per his need, in India too operators would be allowed to introduce country-specific cards or region-specific cards for domestic calls, he said.
