Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India, Monday, August 6, 2007 (InfoMailers.com):: Hutch, one of India's leading cellular service providers has introduced 'Apne Minutes' for its Haryana prepaid customers. Through this offer, a Hutch prepaid customer can purchase Bonus Cards of Rs.10/- to get a talk time of 100 minutes and on a bonus card of Rs.24/- a subscriber can get a talk time worth 250 minutes. While most bonus cards offer talk time, validity or tariff benefits for a stipulated period, "Apne Minutes" offers predefined minutes - for local Hutch-to-Hutch calls.
The 'Apne Minutes' recharge cards do not have a specific validity period. Therefore, a Hutch prepaid customer can now accumulate talk time on his 'Apne Minute' plan along with the regular recharge. The accumulated talk time can be used to call local Hutch numbers across Haryana between 10 pm to 10 am. For instance, if a subscriber has purchased a Rs. 10/- "Apne Minutes" coupon, he is entitled to 100 minutes of talk time. During the same period, if he recharges his regular prepaid card, he can avail of his regular recharge talk time and the 100 minutes talk time simultaneously.
Speaking on the offer, Bhuwan Kulshreshtha, CEO, Hutch, Haryana said, "This service initiative by Hutch is yet another way to bring value to our subscribers. Today, when mobile communication is all pervasive, an offer like the Apne Minutes Bonus Card is an additional benefit to users. It will facilitate greater connectivity as well affordability."
