Reliance Communications (RCOM) is looking forward to spreading some
Christmas cheer amongst its GSM subscribers. The company has launched a
new 'Facebook Messenger Plan,' which offers unlimited access to Facebook
(including the Facebook Messenger), for Rs. 16 per month.
To activate
'Facebook Messenger Plan, Relaiance GSM subscribers will have to send
text message "FB" to 53739 from their mobile phones. Once activated,
this plan will be available for the users for the next 30 days and will
get auto renewed on the completion of this period.
"We are
confident that 'Facebook Messenger Plan' with unlimited usage of
Facebook without any extra data charges is set to provide a compelling
new experience with incredible affordability to Smartphone users across
the country on our superior network. We are hoping this offer to trigger
a significant shift of youth customers using Smartphones to our
superior network," Nilanjan Mukherjee, Wireless-Chief Revenue Officer at
RCOM, said.
Facebook Messenger is an instant messaging service
and software application that enables text and video communication. It
is a cross platform app and is available on smartphones as well as
feature phones.
In the beginning of December, the social
networking giant had rolled out a new version of Messenger app. With the
help of this new app, mobile phone users who do not have a Facebook
account too could sign up the service by entering their phone number.
Thus eliminating the need to login via a Facebook account or an email
address in order to chat with their Facebook friends.
