What is TRAI’s rule?
TRAI had instructed telecom companies to bring such plans as soon as possible, which have only voice and SMS facilities. These plans will benefit the users who use 2G phones or dual SIM the most. Although initially consumers seemed very happy with this decision of TRAI, but the new plans of telecom operators have disappointed them.
This is because the companies have kept the prices of the plan the same, but have reduced the benefits available in it. That is, despite removing the data facilities, there has been no significant reduction in the price of the plan. TRAI has said that it will consider it.
