Why do we have to pay for missed call alerts?

If they provide Everything for Free they should even Sell their undies to Run their Company.

The hypocrisy is worse than the charges https://broadband.forum/tata-docomo/77648-why-do-we-have-pay/#post618027

This is still cheaper than that femtocell crap of AT&T. There you have to pay for that mini home cellular tower equipment along with a monthly fee not to mention internet charges.

It is chargeable because when you are extreme indoor or in basements its not there mistake that network doesnt reach your phone.It is chargeable because its not their responsibility that you use a good phone which provides better connectivity.(Network connectivity degrades with time.)It is chargeable because when you keep your phone switched off (Not their problem).

Your points are valid.
However, the question is of the hypocrisy of tata docomo (as correctly pointed out by mehrotra.akash http://snag.gy/0EDQb.jpg)
They could easily have said that the MCA (missed call alerts) facility was free for, say, for 3 years. But why "Why should we charge you for doing our 'job'? Its your 'right'"

Also, i think it makes a better business sense to provide MCAs free of cost. Most of the users try to call back to the person for whom he has received MCA.
