Commenting on this launch to Loop Mobile subscribers, Mr. Surya Mahadevan, Chief Operating Officer, Loop Mobile said, “Prepaid market is onedimensional with same value proposition across different levels of usage. The insight we had was that subscribers are getting confused about various offers on top-ups and special tariff vouchers in the market. SmartPaid is a simple answer to that confusion as it bundles Voice, SMS, VAS and data to present a complete product. Also it offers double the value the customer gets from the typical prepaid product on a monthly commitment of Rs.320 plus. This is a truly smarter way to go mobile.”
Loop Mobile has constantly been at the forefront of launching pioneering services. It has had several firsts to its credit in the Value Added Services (VAS) space which are technologically state-of-art and yet customer friendly. Loop Mobile was the first operator in the country to offer GPRS / MMS, caller ring tunes, missed call alert, mobile tracker service, voice SMS. It also became the first telecom operator to deploy a Next Generation Internet Protocol network for uninterrupted service. It also launched India’s first-ever premium Mobile service on a prepaid platform – ‘epaid’- with benefits of postpaid for its prepaid subscribers.
