Question

Can anyone tell why landline call rates are more than mobile?

Answer 1

because in landline call are sent through wires...........

Answer 2

Landline major player BSNL has wastly invested in infrastructure creation/manpower/maintenance/operation.

Their undererground cables/satellite links, run all over the country's nook and corner.

As a public service provider they have the obligation to full fill the rural and remote area citizens too - which private cell operators ignore most of the time for commercial reasons.

Atleast to get back some operating cost for the invested infrastructure, the TRAI has fixed Land line charges on upper side.

Answer 3

in the time when mob users are less, mob call rates are very high...  even it charged for incomming.... as indian earnings increased usage of mobile/wll/talky also increased mean while landline usage gradually became less.. because of this reason the leading telecommunication company bsnl introduced a scheme of free insurance of rs 150000 for landline users.....

Answer 5

I think you are wrong.In connect it is 50p for local and 1/- for Std.In Bsnl by paying 150 (with tax) you get unlimited calling within a state free.With calling card Std is Rs.1/- per min.Local 50p. In Bsnl mobile Std is 2.40 per min. local 49p (with tax it is above 50p)

Answer 6

not  correct

see bsnl is charging 1/- or 1.20 /-for 3 mins for local callsand there is no advertising calls coming no ad messages are coming

Mobile cos make money out of advertisements and SMS

and it has to pay their all staff whether dedicated or not so dedicated and then show profit
