Tata Teleservices Ltd, one of Indias largest and fastest-growing telecom networks, and PayMate, Indias leading mobile commerce company, have partnered to offer a service that enables 20 million plus Tata Indicom subscriber base to book flight tickets anywhere, anytime on the mobile phone. Tata Indicom is the first telecom operator to go live with PayMate.
The service enables real-time flight bookings across all domestic airlines at the best available fares. The service is targeted at frequent fliers on low-cost and full-service airlines who value the convenience of flight ticketing anywhere, anytime via the mobile phone, instead of being limited to Internet access on a computer. Customers need to download this application one-time from Tata Zone to experience the user-friendly service. The charges for the application vary from Rs. 10 for a three-day trial up to Rs 30 a month.
Announcing the launch of the service, Mr Pankaj Sethi, President, Value Added Services, Tata Teleservices Ltd, said: "Ticketing has been one of the most popular m-Commerce applications in the mobile telephony space-this is because convenience and flexibility on time are big pull factors. We are excited to partner with PayMate and add flight ticketing application in bouquet of value-added-services."
Tata Indicom and PayMate also plan to offer a range of ticketing applications in the near future-with PayMate built in as a mobile payment option. PayMate has also partnered with Kingfisher Airlines and launched an SMS-based ticketing service.
