The insight we had was that subscribers are getting confused about various offers on top-ups and special tariff vouchers in the market. SmartPaid is a simple answer to that confusion as it bundles Voice, SMS, VAS and data to present a complete product. Also it offers double the value the customer gets from the typical prepaid product on a monthly commitment of Rs.320 plus. This is a truly smarter way to go mobile.”
