TRAI again took half baked decision. SMS should be allowed on all plans. It's useful to contact during emergency and even use it to add/drop DTH channels.

Well if that happens then nobody will port out to any network especially me .. most of them main reason is to port out is no sms service in smart recharge for transaction in payment apps verification sms and my port out main reason too

Another problem here is requirement of plan. I am porting out because I am unsatisfied. Why would I recharge? Operators will discontinue smaller amount plans like ₹19 to prevent porting out. Minimum ₹99 will become new norm.

TRAI should direct all Telcos to give unlimited calls & sms for Rs.99 as basic plan in these Zero IUC.
