TRAI mandates cheaper voice and SMS-only recharge vouchers
The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has ordered telecommunication companies to offer cheaper voice and SMS-only recharge vouchers for users who do not require data services. These vouchers will have shorter validity periods and are intended for low-income consumers, particularly in rural areas. The directive aims to provide a more affordable option for customers who primarily need calling and SMS functionalities without the bundled data plans.
