TRAI gives a clear message to Airtel, BSNL, Jio, Vi: Introduce affordable voice, SMS plans

India TV News  

Airtel, BSNL, Jio, and Vodafone Idea have been directed by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India to introduce separate Special Tariff Vouchers for voice calling and SMS targeted at users. Currently, users on older feature phones or 2G networks are facing steep recharge costs, as telecom companies bundle data into all their plans. In a bid to serve the customers better, TRAI's new guidelines require telecom companies to offer special tariff vouchers for voice calls and SMS. This update from TRAI is expected to bring much-needed relief to millions of mobile users across the country, granting them access to more affordable voice and calling recharge options.
