The 28-Day “Monthly” Recharge SCAM.
I raised this in Parliament today.
Telecom companies call their plans “monthly” — but they last only 28 days.
That means prepaid users pay for 13 recharges in a year instead of 12.
28 days × 13 recharges = 364 days
If it’s monthly, it should follow the actual calendar month.
Consumers deserve better. Not these clever tricks.
Prepaid Recharge Customers के साथ हो रही लूट का मुद्दा आज मैंने Parliament में उठाया।
(a) अगर आपका recharge खत्म हो जाए तो Outgoing Calls बंद होना समझ में आता है, लेकिन Incoming Calls बंद करना मनमानी है।रिचार्ज खत्म होते ह�� न कोई आपसे संपर्क कर सकता है और न ही आपके फोन पर OTP जैसे जरूरी मैसेज आ पाते हैं। Emergency के हालातों में व्यक्ति बेसहारा हो जाता है।
(b) 28 दिन का Recharge plan एक scam है। साल में महीने 12 होते हैं लेकिन रिचार्ज 13 बार करवाना पड़ता है (28 days x 13 times = 364 days).
Recharge plan की वैधता calender months (30–31 दिन) के हिसाब से होनी चाहिए, क्योंकि 28 दिन के चक्कर में लोगों को साल भर में एक अतिरिक्त रिचार्ज करवाना पड़ता है।
मोबाइल आज के समय में Luxury नहीं, बल्कि आम नागरिक की Necessity बन चुका है।
इसलिए टेलीकॉम कंपनियों को उपभोक्ताओं के साथ Fair और Transparent रवैया रखना चाहिए।
28 day plans = 13 Monthly Reacharge per year
Forced data bundles = higher costs for voice only users
No consumer choice plans
@Airtel_Presence@JioCare how is this consumer-friendly pricing?
@TRAI is this aligned with fair tariff and transparency principles?

Dear @JioCare@TRAI
When Interconnect Usage Charges (IUC) are ₹0 since 2021, why are customers forced to recharge just to receive incoming calls?
On what legal basis are incoming services blocked after validity expiry?
Kindly clarify.
fuck you @airtelindia.
fuck you @reliancejio.
every telecom company is shit in one way or other.
And I consider this as pure harrasment.
when my mom sim was in jio as soon as recharge used to end endless calls to recharge it from jio.
But incoming calls was not stopped.
Now i ported to airtel network is good but as soon recharge end they stop incoming.
And there is not even friendly recharges to keep incoming active.
I have to rechrage bare minumum of 199.
@JioCare is your incoming free even if recharge ends?
If you guys promise to not harrass then I will consider switching.
Also what is @TRAI doing in all this?
Rest of India: while our brothers and sisters in North and the West are braving it all in real life, all we have is social media.
So if we are all chronically online anyway. Let’s make sure we don’t lose the narrative war anywhere.
Pakistan will not win the actual war. But they will try their absolute best to win the sympathy. To play victim. To cry foul.
Let’s ensure they don’t. Everyone must hear loud and wide that
Pakistan is the aggressor.
Pakistan is a terrorist state.
Pakistan gives asylum to the deadliest terrorists in the world.
