STD rates from FWP / FWT to landline phones within the circle in the distance slab of over 100 km have been brought down to Rs1.65 for Plan 500, Rs1.50 for Plan 1000 and Rs1.35 for Plan 1500 from Rs2.20, Rs2, and Rs1.80 respectively.

Additionally, STD rates from FWP / FWT to landline phones outside the circle in the distance slab of more than 200 km have also been brought down to Rs3.30 for Plan 500, Rs3 for Plan 1000 and Rs2.70 for Plan 1500 from Rs4.40, Rs4 and Rs3.60 respectively.
