Reliance Jio And Bharti Airtel Launched Voice And SMS Only Plans After TRAI Rule Change

These prepaid tariff plans would be better for customers who do not need data. Airtel has launched a new plan of Rs 499. It will get 84 days validity with unlimited calls and 900 SMS. The company has also introduced a plan of Rs 1,959. It will get unlimited voice calls and 3,600 with 365 days validity. Reliance Jio has launched a plan of Rs 458. It will have an 84 -day validity with unlimited voice calls and 1,000 SMS. The company has also provided a plan of Rs 1,958. It will have unlimited voice calls and 365 days validity with 3,600 SMS.

The Rs 1,460 plan of Vodafone Idea will have 270 days validity with unlimited calls and 100 SMS. TRAI said at the revised telecom consumers protection regulations, “Service provider would have to offer a special tariff voucher for voice calls and SMS, whose validity will not exceed 365 days.” This will benefit users who do not use data. Along with this, TRAI has also allowed telecom companies to provide recharge vouchers of any value. However, these companies will have to issue a recharge coupon of at least Rs 10.

The telecom regulator has also taken some measures to deal with the problem of spam calls and messages. TRAI also imposed a fine on large telecom companies for failing to curb this problem. Earlier, these companies have been fined under the Telecom Commercial Communication Customer Preference Regulations (TCCCPR). TCCCPR was implemented in 2010. Its purpose is to secure subscribers with spam calls and messages. The new rule called TRAI’s message tradition has also been implemented from December 11.
