The company has also entered into alliances with laptop manufacturers to bundle Reliance NetConnect Data Cards, its President (Personal Business) S P Shukla told a press conference in Bangalore.

"Offering world's best prices for data cards, Reliance gives customers the flexibility to choose from a wide range of options which include getting a free data card against 12 months subscription," Shukla said.

According to him, the Freedom plan or 24-month subscription offers free usage of one gigabyte every month while the Swift 50 plan provides 40

hours of free usage every month.

Alternatively, customer can purchase the data card by making an upfront payment of Rs 2,850 for USB data card and Rs 2,990 for PCMCIA data card, which is 28 per cent lower than the current prices, the company said.
