Tata Walky gets additional feature with Wi-Fi

NEW DELHI: Tata Docomo, the unified brand of Tata Teleservices, has upgraded its traditional Tata Photon Walky as it now works both as a landline and Wi-Fi hotspot and can connect up to five devices at a time.

Tata Photon Walky device is priced at Rs 2,099 and comes with a monthly tariff plan starting from Rs 499 for 3 GB data and 300 local or STD minutes going up to Rs 999 for 8 GB data and 1000 local or STD minutes for post-paid users, a release said.

With this, Tata Walky now gets Wi-Fi enabled; a multi-purpose, portable wireless device that can be used to make calls and surf the internet.

“Tata Photon Walky is a unique device that will give the wireless landline users an opportunity to surf internet by creating a simultaneous Wi-Fi hotspot.

Wi-Fi hotspots are becoming an increasingly important category for customers who want to access internet simultaneously at home or on move.
