admin A new amazing service from TATA DOCOMO, Diet SMS. This service enables customers to pay per character basis! They are going to charge one paisa per character of sms, and no charges for space.
It simply means, if you want to send a message to your friend “How are you?” This will be charged 10Paise only as there are only 10 characters in it. TATA were first to start per second charges for voice calls and now they have done again by charging only Per Character in SMS.
For a TATA DOCOMO customer, how to use Diet SMS? – You need to type the mobile number followed by a space followed by the message and sms this to the short code 52208.
Well this is very good to see, but is it more economical when we use it? Lets compare with some other sms service providers.
I have reliance CDMA mobile, they give 2500 National SMS charging Rs.100 which comes to 4Paisa per sms with full 160 characters usage.
A person when sending an SMS uses at least 10 Characters which will cost him 10Paisa with TATA DOCOMO. I think TATA should work on it more and reduce the charges of per character sms.
Well I feel it is very much useful and beneficial for a person who does very less SMS. Like 100-150 SMS per month. Every thing depends on own usage. So an SMSer who always does lots of SMS may not find good to him. But a Voicer who wants to send SMS may find very useful!
