SUBSCRIBERS’ WIN OVER TELECOM OPERATORS
SUBSCRIBERS’ WIN OVER TELECOM
OPERATORS
Buying a recharge plan with 28
days validity or less is like paying for pizza with less or no cheese. A 30
days validity plan sounds like a more complete package. Following the concerns
expressed by several telecom subscribers over such 28 days validity plans, the
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India decided to take an action on this and
therefore, asked telecom operators to offer vouchers with a validity of 30
days.
“Every Telecom Service Provider
shall offer at least one Plan Voucher, one Special Tariff Voucher, and one
Combo Voucher which shall be renewable on the same date of every month, and if
the date of such renewal is not available in a month, the date of renewal shall
be the last date of that month,” the telecom regulator said in a release.
Abiding by these rules, telcos launched monthly validity plans for their
customers that offer either 30 days of validity or 1-month validity. Now TRAI
in its latest press release has listed all the recharge plans that offer 30
days or a full month of validity.
Before the TRAI order, all telecom operators were offering a majority of prepaid tariff packs with a validity period of 28/56/84 days. This was highlighted by several users who complained that with the 28-day validity pack, they had to do 13 recharges in a year.
