Guys UPI uses sms for authentication and I myself recharged my mobile number just to send upi SMS, most of the low value packs excluded sms packs, first they barred sms in 19 pack then in 49 pack then from 79 pack then then pack containing sms started from 149 onwards,they are doing kind of anthesia, this is a very pathetic situation, we end up paying for higher price packs unnecessarily, Now UPI looks most useless and expensive payment mode to me,

UPI authentication is only needed once naa ? If nothing interfered with i.e sim changed / mobile formatted etc etc , once authenticated… UPI can work for indefinite period say years .

So what is the fuss here ?

*sometimes on app updation it asks for again SIM verification.
*using a new upi enabled app.
*changing/adding extra bank account require sim verification in some apps.

Yes it’s bad, but if you just want for SMS, in BSNL there’s a smaller pack approx 30/-, but validity is less than a month.

For Banking and Data, without much outgoing call, Vi is still the best. 418 for 100 GB data for 56 days with sms & outgoing (both payable on per call/sms basis) and roll over of unused data.

Strangely Amazon and freecharge never ask for upi autnetication again even if I factory reset the phone or even swap sims.

TRAI should have said that port sms should be accessible on Rs.10 Topup but why they would do this as they only dance on the tunes of jio and TRAI’s unofficial head is Mukesh Ambani

Consumers who are happy on JIO’s complaint should understand that JIO is not a saint jio has no plan like 19, 29 etc all other operators will follow jio and start their plans from 155 this move will force Airtel and vi to withdraw small denomination plans just like jio
If you need UPI complain on PG portal against all operators
