Thank you for proving my point. Airtel 1GB data, just "data" used to be 198 rs before jio was introduced. Now you can get 1GB everyday close to that price, thanks to Jio.
Docomo was a classic "unreal cheap prices to pull in customers and we'll get acquired". Comparing it with providers that actually stay in the market is.. weird.
> I used to have balance like 50rs per 6 months.
Lol. You realise you are the exact reason they have activation charges now right? You can't be this clueless.
> Now I gotta pay 100rs per month to keep my secondary sim active and 300 or so per month to have data + unlimited calling
You're either using it all completely wrong or someone else is scamming you. I pay 299 per month for 2gb data everyday plus unlimited calling. I have never heard of this 100rs activation crap for a phone you're actively using. If you are not using the sim why do you need to keep it "activated". I think you need to get a better understanding of how these things work to make your life easier.
If you still can't figure this out and have so many problems why don't you switch to another provider that is better? Oh wait there isn't one. Otherwise you wouldn't have a jio sim in the first place.
I'm gonna file this under a bizarre case of person who has trouble understanding how basic phone recharge works in India and just wants to complain about Jio.
Thank God you feel that my point is bizzare. I guess India no longer gives a flying fuck about poor people. Daily wage labourers now don't have to choose between food and medicine, they now have to choose between food, Medicine and telephone like telephone is a fucking luxury.
I mean you can't be that dense to think that everyone in India works in IT & earns 6 figures per year? We are slipping steadily in hunger index ( translating for your privileged eyes: more and more people are going hungry because they don't have food or money to buy food)
And also in the next five years you're going to be outraged on twitter and dumbbook about "Jio raising prices and making telecom costlier than what it used to be before".
Min recharge needed to keep your phone active has gine from 49 to 99 in two quarters. Guess what'll happen in the next five years?
Or that unlimited calling & 1gb per day costs 250 per month? 1.5GB costs 300 per month?
Or are you too high on 10rs per day?
I remember having docomo sim where I had 1 paisa per second calling. I used to have balance like 50rs per 6 months.
Now I gotta pay 100rs per month to keep my secondary sim active and 300 or so per month to have data + unlimited calling
