your number will remain active and can receive incoming messages even if you dont keep any plan, as long as there is more than ₹20 in your top up account. Or you can do small recharges of 14 day pack once in 3 months.

With Stable WiFi in Home, Daily data plans are a waste of money. I can't understand why these greedy, yet stupid telcos provide UL 5G only in just daily data plans wrt Prepaid?

Practically most of us don't need daily data. Mere 30 GB data with unlimited calls and 100 sms for 30 days for Rs. 199 is good enough. But then how will the ARPU of these telcos rise?

2GB data with UL calling for Rs.199/- is a great offer now, how we can expect 30 GB for Rs.199? with huge 4G and 5G investments.

BSNL has a plan of Rs.247 of 50 GB bulk data and unlimited calls for 30 days.

So, it can be possible. Currently pvt telcos are pushing for Rs. 300 to 350 ARPU which is unreasonable in my opinion.

BSNL should give around Rs.200/- with limited spectrum, towers and investment from Govt/Public money, where as Pvt Telcos needs loans from banks with interest and equipment with technology from top rated MNCs for quality and speeds.
