This is why, I hate this Stupid Company. They can easily bring better plans usable for common man, like slightly costlier than BSNL and much much cheaper than Airtel / Jio. But NO, they are simply following their Master "The Devil Airtel" like the old Hutch Dog.

Airtel / Jio has the luxury of being many people's primary number, which VoId lacks badly. VoId should compete with BSNL for secondary SIM status. Following Airtel and neglecting low income people will NEVER help them in the long run.

With each and every tariff hike, more and more middle class people are killing their secondary number. There is a great market available for secondary SIM with cheaper tariff, which only Airtel has the luxury to ignore (even Jio has JioPhone plans to cater them). VoId ignoring that market is outright stupid for their survival, imho.

Vi is still providing 24GB data on 1999 plans unlike Airtel and Jio.

BSNL can't compete with Vi/Airtel/Jio till they cover 700Mhz with 3L sites. It will take atleast two years(Once that happens, Airtel+Jio revenues will hit badly, Jio numbers are kept only for incoming for three months after recharge is finished, Airtel is used for superior voice quality due to Nokia IMS, but Airtel doesn't have 10Mhz sub-Ghz spectrum everywhere in a single band, BSNL can hit the revenues of both operators if they cover atleast 200000 sites by mid 2026). But I am hopeful for it as coverage with 700Mhz is really good. But anything above 1199/1299 is not good for yearly voice only plans. 89/99 for one month unlimited voice plans.

Airtel doesn't have any luxury right now. In one of the month post marriage of Junior ambani and tariff hikes, Airtel lost lot of customers and they will continue to do so in upcoming months. Airtel has close to 150 million 2G customers(103 million 2G customers and remaining those who recharge only voice calling plans, monthly/annually).

They should have introduced this plan with a 365-day validity. It could have attracted more secondary SIM users!
