TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) has introduced a new rule that requires telecom companies to offer voice-only recharge plans. Following this directive, major telecom providers like Jio, Airtel, and Vi have launched new plans for customers who primarily use mobile networks for calling instead of data services.
What is the New TRAI Rule?
The new regulation mandates that telecom operators must provide standalone voice-call plans without bundling them with data or SMS services. This change aims to benefit users who rely mainly on calling and do not require internet access on their mobile devices.
