Going on a trip or some place of which you have no knowledge about? One would simply log on to the internet on your phone to seek out directions. But, what if you don’t have a smartphone and face a language barrier and are unable to really locate the place you’d want to go?
We might be sick and tired of stopping and asking again and again. (As it is we don’t really have time to waste, do we?)
Worry no more, Tata DOCOMO will be your Superman and help you find a perfect route to your desired destination. Yes, Tata DOCOMO has launched a new Value Added Service(VAS) ‘Route Finder’. A unique and the first of its kind from a Telecom carrier in India. The most important feature is that it covers our requirements for accurate directions to locations of our choice & also carries database with millions of points of interest, including restaurants, places of worship, shops and hotels. However, This isn’t the best part.
Well, you could be wondering what could be better than getting directions on the go. The fact being, you don’t need a 3G connection /smartphone to benefit from this VAS. Kewl, ain’t it?
Anyone with DOCOMO connection(which is obvious) will be able to get assistance. It is open to both 2G as well as 3G users. The VAS gives you each and every direction turn by turn via SMS’; and if you have a smartphone you get assistance on the map. You must be now wondering how it works? Well, it ‘figures out’ the location via triangulation and then delivers the best possible route to your preferred destination – on SMS or on the MAP.
To treat the customers, they have introduced a ‘buy one get one free’ offer, i.e,You will be charged when you request for direction for the first time; but the next time you do so, it’ll be free of charge! The company also assures you of not charging until the requested directions are delivered to you. The charges for this VAS is only Rs. 5 per direction. Which in my opinion is very cheap and time-saving. After all, a consumer is always ready to pay a few extra pennies if he is given a desired result in minimal time.
