If anything looks  too good to be true, then most probably there is a catch. Well the saying applies to lifetime validity plans from many service providers in India as well.

Lifetime is not lifetime: Even though they advertise as lifetime, in reality it is not a lifetime offer. Most of these plans are valid till the validity of the license of the service providers.

This is going to please all mobile addicts especially the ones who have to use a lot of std minutes. The 2 leading cdma players in India i.e reliance and tata indicom have come up with unlimited calling plans.

However the offer is not valid if you use it while on roaming. Source

virgin mobile seems to be too aggressive with its pricing plans. If you do have a virgin mobile connection, then make sure to take advantage of the same. After coming up with the idea of paying you for incoming calls virgin mobile has come up with one more scheme called vpower.
There are several plans in this scheme. The STD Pack costs you 31Rs. It enables you to call anyone in India @1Rs per minute for the next 30 days. Simply awesome.
