This launch is a breakthrough that adds an entertainment value and relevance to the task of waiting for a call to be answered.”
Subscribers can select from different genres which include bollywood hits, regional, international, classical and funny tunes. They can set up to three different songs for calling different people. Users and will be charged 2 paise per second to access the service, while the subscription charges will be Rs 15 for a period of 30 days and an additional Rs 10 per song download for both post paid and pre paid subscribers.
