Nokia and Idea tie-up for carrier billing for Nokia’s apps and music store

Nokia today announced a tie-up with Idea to bring carrier billing for its music and app stores. The announcement comes a few days after Nokia partnered with Vodafone for carrier billing for its
Music store. Currently Vodafone and Idea are the only carrier partners that offer carrier billing for the Music store. Airtel, Reliance, Idea and Vodafone offer carrier billing for Nokia’s app store.
The music subscription plans on Idea are the same as Vodafone. Users can subscribe for a week for Rs 50, a month for Rs 99 and Rs 250 for three months. Subscribers will have to bear the cost for downloading music, which depends on their data plan.
The Nokia Music Store offer over 4.5 million DRM-free songs including regional music in 16 languages. Nokia claims over 1.4 million songs are downloaded from its store everyday.
