The pack costs Rs.1199 for Singapore and Thailand and Rs.2999 for USA, Canada, UK and UAE. Post the exhaustion of pack data benefits, international roaming data will now be charged at Rs.3/MB and outgoing calls to India & local calls to any network will be charged at Rs.3/ min. which means that these packs will reduce the cost of calls and extra data usage by over 99%.
