Two offers  - equally compelling - Idea, Airtel, Reliance, Docomo - everyone has it..

1. 1 paisa per second

2. 50 paisa per minute

which one ?

Ok - here is the calculation behind it ….

case 1 - all your calls last less than 50 seconds - Then go for the (1 paisa per second plan). For the 50 paisa plan, you end up paying 50 paisa even if you talk for one second only.. But here’s the catch - Nobody talks for just 1 second. Just an Hello from both ends takes up 5-10 seconds. And, then again, there should be some reason that you called… convey the reason, and get a reply. So think closely.. if you fall in this category..

case 2 - you try to keep your conversations as less as possible, but you generally dont use a stopwatch to time the seconds while talking. Definitely go forthe 50 paisa per minute plan. The reason is : Once you cross the 50 seconds mark, then the 50 p / min plan is working to your advantage.  compare the chart below :

As you can see, for all conversations that exceed 50 sec, 50 paisa per minute plan is the most profitable.
