Aircel, India’s fastest growing telecom service provider, announced that it has cut down ISD call rates for its pre-paid subscribers in Chennai and rest of Tamil Nadu circle.

According to the sources, the proposed scheme is meant for calls specifically made to Malaysia and Singapore.

Through this scheme, Aircel pre-paid subscriber can make ISD calls to Malaysia and Singapore at Rs 3 per minute by a recharge coupon worth Rs. 96.

While on the other hand, with a recharge coupon of Rs. 29, pre-paid customers can make calls to the same destinations at Rs. 3.5 per minute.

This scheme comes in view of the high number of Tamilians in Malaysia and Singapore.

According to the company officials, by using these recharge coupons, subscribers will be able to save 53% and 45% respectively.

This is in line with Aircel’s attempt to make worldwide calling more affordable and thus deliver greater value to its growing subscriber base.

Aircel, a partnership between Maxis Communications Berhad of Malaysia and Apollo Hospital Enterprise of India, has proposals to become a full-fledged national operator by fiscal 2009. It is also the market leader in Tamil Nadu, Assam, North-East and Chennai.

At present,  Aircel is having deep rooted presence in 10 Telecom Circles (Kolkata, Assam, Bihar, Chennai, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, North East, Orissa, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal).
