TRAI had recently asked all telecom companies to bring cheap recharge plans. TRAI said that such tariff packs should be brought which should be for wire and SMS only. However, now Indian telecom companies have opposed it. He says that this step will take telecom back a lot. Because this will slow down the 4G/5G upgrade and it will not be possible for 2G users to get fast data. Because only voice and SMS facilities will not be provided in such packs.
Telecom executive replied
Telecom companies have described this step of TRAI as retrograde. Because till now users are given the facility of unlimited wire calling, but after this policy is introduced, users will be charged for calling. Speaking to ET, a senior telecom executive said, ‘Till now, telecom companies provide free services along with data packs. But once the voice and SMS pack is launched, users will be charged for calling. Because instead of data, they are charged for voice and SMS.
It will be of great help to 2G users
On Monday, the sector regulator had asked telecom companies to come out with this and come up with a separate special tariff voucher. Get voice and SMS packer for 30 days. This will help 2G users because they will not buy unwanted data. TRAI officials said, this will greatly help the 2G users of India. Dual SIM is going to prove helpful for Honor and users living in rural areas. Because even if they don’t want to, they have to buy a pack which provides data facility. That means overall there was a demand for cheaper plans.
