[advt]“The summer season witnesses a sharp rise in the outbound traffic from India as people go on leisure holidays or to spend time with their friends and families living abroad or travel for business needs. Majority of Indian travelers go to Europe, US, UAE and the Asian countries. For all such travelers, we have created a special discounted International Roaming Offer which will make their stay more affordable and convenient. I am confident that the new offer will boost our international roaming usage during the season.”
