Airtel CallHome Vs Reliance Calling Card

It took nearly 2 years for Bharti Tele-Ventures Ltd to compete with Reliance Communications' Reliance India Call. Airtel has finally launched a calling card for the Indian diaspora in the US.
The Deal - It is the same as their Virtual Calling Card available in India which costs Rs 3.5 / Minute to call the US. Alternatively, it costs the same for NRIs to call India 7.9 cents / Minute to any phone in India.

Reliance India Call - Their India to US Calling Card costs Rs 4.5 / Minute while from US to India, rates vary depending on the phone the call terminates. It is flat 9.9 cents / minute to any Reliance phone and 12.9 cents / Minute to any other phone in India .

Though Anail Ambani's Reliance owns Flag Telecom the international carrier, RCom is still unable to compete and match Airtel's offer and customer service. It's high time that someone reading this from Dhirubhai Ambani Knowledge Park review RCom's customer service.

    This is dhruv from Florida.With Diwali around the corner back home,i have been busy scouting for bargains on indian calling cards.i found that reliance calling cards are offering the best value for money,since they have slashed their calling rates to as low as 5.9 cents/min and also offering 120 mins free talk time as an addon.Airtel is also a good buy too, but i find the voice quality on reliance to be far better.Guess mom won't complain now that i never have time to talk to her!
