As a part of its value-added service offerings to its customers, private telecom operator, Reliance Communications, today launched a single data plan, MobileNet, which claims to provide hassle-free Internet access.

Through MobileNet, RCOM GSM and Reliance Telecom Limited (RTL) subscribers can now avail GPRS through multiple channels such as self-care (RWorld, SMS, USSD), e-recharge, paper voucher, Internet, etc, a press release said here.

Presently, RCOM GSM/RTL subscribers can avail GPRS services through mobile, using different APN (Access Point Name) like RCOM Wap (via RWorld) and connect phone to PC/ laptop /modem to browse internet using RCOM Net (via NetConnect charges applicable).

"MobileNet GPRS plans will give customers Internet access on mobile as well PC/Laptop. The customer can use the MobileNet to access information, services and entertainment, much the same way as that on a PC," Reliance Communications' Head (VAS), Anil Pande, said.

Through this VAS offering, RCOM plans to leverage revenues from the existing and new subscribers, the release said.
