Sad News Airtel, Idea and Vodafone now requires you to recharge with a minimum pack to keep your sim alive

[Mystique]

If this goes on , there will be no point of having dual sim phones

I think they will escalating the minimum tariff from Rs.35 to Rs.49 in future like Jio.

All will move to Jio for sure

It'll cost more in Jio. What's the minimum plan in Jio for 28days.

I indicate Jio phone .. 49/m unlimited calls + 1gb data

For airtel users;

those who are having main balance can recharge this SMART Recharge using the balance. Can do this by going to self care. *121#
I have recharged today from main balance for Rs.34. You will get 25.66 talktime and 100mb. And this 25.66 talktime will not be added to the main balance and will be a standalone balance which has a validity of 28 Days.

No, people will not invest 1500 just for saving 14rupees. I'm damn sure Jio will soon hike the 49 rupees plan.

This is a good news according to me. Telcos will soon recover from losses. If they don't do this, they'll go bankrupt like aircel one day and we'll have only Jio.

Obviously you can guess what will happen then.

Pay 35 for utilising their network. Simple! Or use only one sim.

This will hurt 2G Users very badly Now they don't have choice other than MTNL.

BSNL too.

Now I have throw old Jio sim (2nd) with non transferable coupons after recharged main sim (ported to jio) with no coupons.

But before that do one thing make account on FreeCharge and perform first transection at least use code FC75 at least you'll get 75 cash back

For old jio sims Transferable vouchers are there.

Nope!!!

If this goes on , there will be no point of having dual sim phones

Dual VoLTE can be the solution so you can use your Jio sim in both the slots. Like I'm using!
So guys I won't suggest you throw your old Jio sim bcoz they can be used in future like I'm using and free data is also provided sometimes.

No, people will not invest 1500 just for saving 14rupees. I'm damn sure Jio will soon hike the 49 rupees plan.

We can't predict the future. And, there is no chance that Jio will hike the price. For what they hike the price VoLTE is covering their calls and messages and what else needed in network.
All network vs Jio have many differences otherwise we won't be using so cheap data and Jio can't afford till now.
So, this gonna be little increase but not so soon.

And what makes you think that 26rs is sufficient for one month calling at 1rs/min ?
To reduce call rate customers would be required to pay additional . And remember this is just to keep sim active for 28 days , for data again another recharge
