Airtel, Idea and Vodafone seems to have killed unlimited/long-term validity prepaid recharges

but jio still doesn't deactivate connection for not recharging

INR 10 recharge for Airtel is still working. I'm using it for the past couple of months. Don't know when it's going to end.

Because currently they need to show their subscribers strength

Yes Jio does disconnect and allocates the number (may be after certain time) to new users....

hope bsnl doesn't follow this

bsnl already requires you to do either a plan recharge or atleast 200 rs talktime recharge every 6 six months. but one advantage is you can do a plan recharge using remaining balance.

 

[anubhav11]

Exactly.. that plan voucher is valid for 6 months but the unused balance does not end after 6 months, we can just renew plan voucher costing from 35,36 for 6 months and keep continuing our connection. No minimum topup recharge required as no lifetime validity

airtel has noT allowed recharge from balance in a long time. i still have around 450 unused from a 1000 recharge for like 2 years now.

i am on vodafone. just got the message saying that they have discontinued talktime recharge packs and launched new recharge packs.

i only recharge my phone with 50 rs like every month or so and thankfully they have recharge pack for my number that costs 35 rs and gives 25 rs talktime.


but this is really scummy tactics.

they are just following jios path.

in jio if you want to have 28 days of validity and talktime you have to recharge with a min of 100 rs because thats how much the base plan costs.


i dont see them rolling back this change unless there is mass protest from people.

Basically they want to be primary sim on users phone.
