A person whose business depends on phone calls, making upto 50 calls a day

PAYS THE SAME AMOUNT AS

Me, a student who hardly receive or make 1 call a day.

All these network providers have teamed up, there are no more reasonable or fair pay as you use schemes.

How do u guys feel about this

Do you know what the pricing of the call, SMS, and data used to be there in telecom a few years ago?

1 GB Data, around 250 Rs. , Calling, SMS, etc all extra package/recharge.

Right now, you are getting almost 2 GB of Data or more daily with the same pricing per month, it's the cheapest in the world!

They are not charging you for the Call/SMS now, so stop thinking about this and enjoy what you are getting!

According to me, this is the best one can ever get!

i like the gratitude filled thought but still feels weird to be paying more than 2.5k per person per year. It adds up real fast. It hurts the most when i realise im bearing this cost just so that i can make a call if i needed to.

My complain is that this buffet only system could add a per dish cost for us low diet folks

Yes. Per call charges need to be implemented. This is need of hour as spam calls increasing too much now. Present system subsiding these spammers.

It's like saying I make all call for 5 Seconds only when other people make most calls more than a minute.

Why I Am being charged for minute ?

I should be charged according to per seconds

If internet is not a concern for you.

I recharge 201 re from BSNL .get 90 days validity (this recharge only works if you are in GP2) . GP2 can be achieved when your validity is over and you don't recharge for 7-10 days.

This scheme has few free calls and 100 free sms and 3gb data, hardly 810 re per year. But catch is in total you have to stay (without outgoing calls for a period of 28 days to get that GP2 ). Since I only want to retain the sim and also need SMS plan for bank verification I opted for this plan

There needs to be a baseline to simplify accounting. If you extend the same logic everywhere, airlines will charge twice for a person who weighs 100kg compared to someone who weights 50kg.
