India’s Reve Group has launched a mobile app covering roaming in 54 countries, including Singapore, Hong Kong, the UK, Canada and the US.
The Ajura App is relevant for millions of Non-Resident Indians visiting their hometowns as they can stay connected to their family and business even when on a holiday in Indian towns and villages at affordable cost.
For Indians travelling abroad, a call back home is as low as three cents or two rupees on a wi-fi network versus the regular roaming charges.
Phone calls received on the user’s home mobile number are automatically forwarded to the app, when the user is online and the person calling need not have Ajura app.
“Roaming users of Ajura App can receive calls made to their regular mobile number on the Ajura app or on a visiting country SIM purchased in the destination country. Similarly, users can also make outbound calls to any country from the Ajura app at much cheaper rates than using mobile roaming or even a local SIM card,” said M Rezaul Hassan, Founder and Group CEO of Reve Group.
Prior to launching the app, the company did a field survey among foreigners travelling to India, which showed that only 20 per cent of the overseas visitors kept their home country mobile switched on.
Seventy per cent had bought a local SIM and most were using chat apps – albeit only at night at locations with wi-fi to communicate back home.
“The latest offering from the Reve Group removes a major pain point for business and holiday travellers. As the financial burden of receiving and making a call on a business trip or holiday reduces dramatically, travellers will feel liberated,” explains Sanjit Chatterjee, CEO, Ajura.
