I do not have a fixed line or Post-paid account with Dhiraagu. Can I also subscribe to a package?
Yes, you can subscribe to a package even though you do not have a fixed line or Post-paid line registered with us. However, as a security for you and Dhiraagu, when you have used up your deposit limit your line may be disconnected without any notice. If this occurs you will be required to increase your deposit or pay your phone bill.


I am an existing Prepaid customer, if I move to a Post-Paid Package, how can I inform my new number to my friends and relatives?
There are two easy options for you:

Option 1
Activate VoiceMail for your Prepaid number and keep that number with you for a few weeks without disconnecting it. There is no set up charge or monthly fee for VoiceMail. Record a personalized message in your Prepaid VoiceMail, informing callers about your new number and advise them to update their phone book.
Please note that to give this message to callers, you do not have to keep your Prepaid SIM card inserted into your mobile phone. You can therefore use the same phone with the Post-paid SIM card.

Option 2
Send an SMS to your close friends and relatives informing about your new number. This may be a bit costly but it will serve the purpose.


Are there any set-up charges?
There is a setup charge of Rf199 for all new Mobile customers subscribing to a Post-paid package.

Dhiraagu's standard deposit policy will apply to all new and existing Mobile customers subscribing to a Post-Paid package.
