Hi, as per the terms, they have the right to withdraw any plan at any time. And now the new rule has been approved by TRAI also.
Why can’t they have 31 days validity for all plans. Then we can charge on a fixed date every month. Under 28 days the date keeps floating and it is difficult to keep track. I may go for a higher plan if i can charge on a fixed date. Now I simply let them take the 23 rupees be done with it.
Hi,
If you do the recharge using services like PhonepPe, you will get notification by email and sms from them before the validity ends.
