You had heard of the pay-per-second module for voice calls from Tata DoCoMo, the GSM brand of Tata Teleservices Limited. Now, the company has announced another innovative offer in the country called 'Diet-SMS' that aims to further reduce your monthly mobile phone bill phobia.
Though this offer, subscribers will be given the option of paying for any SMS they send on a per-character pricing plan. The cost of any 'Diet-SMS' will be 1 paisa per character used for up to 15-character SMS. The 1 paisa per character charge with no charge for the spaces between words -- sure makes it seem worthwhile for those who like to text with monosyllabic replies!
To activate the Diet-SMS service, type the mobile number followed by a space followed by the message and sms this to the short code 52208. Or, go to the SIM-based menu on the phone (called Dive-in Now), scroll to the diet-sms option under the English Language menu, open it and send the SMS.
