Mumbai-based subscribers of Vodafone India might just love this one! The company has announced the launch of its music download service in the city and guess what? Vodafone says you would be able to download an entire song for a paltry Re. 1.Now, all you need to avail this feature is to have a GPRS enabled handset, a Vodafone connection and access to Vodafone live. Both prepaid and post-paid users can access this service. Accessing the stuff you need via GPRS is the fastest and the easiest way to go about this. However, that doesn't mean there are other options. The user, for example, can also choose to SMS the name of a song to a toll free number (111) to access the service.
The customer can choose to access this service and is eligible to download 5 songs per day. The songs are saved to a personal playlist titled "My Songs" on the Vodafone Live portal. Customers can also download the selected songs again - without having to pay for them again.
If you are a Vodafone Mumbai user, you might want to check out this service and listen to a plethora of tracks through it.
Now for the flip side. Vodafone hasn't clarified how you would be charged for the actual download of the song. The Re. 1 is just the price of the song - minus the data charges. A song which can range from 2 to 6MB in size even if downloaded at a rate of 10 paise per 10kb adds up to a not so comfortable rate of Rs. 10 per MB. We will update this post when we have clarification regarding this bit.
