Airtel, Jio and Vi’s new voice and SMS prepaid plans must pass TRAI test
Hindustan TimesOver the past few days, telecom service providers Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vi have listed new voice and SMS only prepaid plans. Airtel confirms to HT that the newly listed plans include the ₹499 plan with voice calls and 900 SMS with an 84 days validity, alongside the ₹1,959 recharge option with voice calls and 3,600 SMS for a period of 365 days. If we are to revisit TRAI’s guidelines released in December, they clearly state, “To mandate separate Special Tariff Voucher for Voice & SMS to give consumers an option to pay for the services they require in general and to provide benefit to certain segments of consumers especially the elderly persons and those living in rural areas.” While these recharge packs are affordable if we are to take the per-day metric of cost, the recharge denominations required by a user, aren’t small amounts. It is expected that Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio and Vi will formally share the newly listed voice and SMS recharge plans with TRAI in the coming days.
