This is due to the continuing COVID-19 crisis that has led to the entire nation practicing social distancing. The telecom operators have announced an extension of validity for the underprivileged in the first stage of the lockdown, and now that the second stage was declared by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the validities are extended further. Airtel says that incoming calls won't be discontinued even following validity fatigue, and Vodafone has introduced the same benefit for attribute mobile users. BSNL, on the other hand, is extending the benefit for all its subscribers who have zero balance.
Airtel claims that over 30 million of its low-income subscribers have not been able to recharge their accounts due to this unprecedented crisis. The operator notes that all these clients will be able to receive incoming calls even when their validity packs have drained. The business has announced the extension of incoming solutions for feature phone users only. "This incoming validity expansion has been credited in the accounts of eligible customers, as quickly as you can, over the coming days," Vodafone adds.
After Airtel and Vodafone's footsteps, BSNL has also extended incoming calls validity of all subscribers whose packs have died during the lockdown and therefore are having almost zero balance. The state-owned telecom operator has extended the validity of May 5.
While subscribers get the advantage of active incoming calls, no additional data or discuss time benefits are offered. To avail, the services, Vodafone Idea, BSNL, and Airtel readers might have to do a recharge. Due to the lockdown, many customers that aren't well-versed with online tools have not managed to recharge their packs. To assist these customers and also help people make a small earning during the crisis, these telecom operators have announced manners where subscribers can earn by recharging for others.
For instance, BSNL has established a new toll free number 5670099 for readers to avail facilities like'Ghar Baithe Recharge' and'Apno ki madad se recharge'. This toll free number works in North and West zones now, and will be accessible from April 22 in South and East zones. With the newest'Ghar Baithe Recharge' attribute, a contributor can ask for a recharge and a BSNL executive may come home to get the recharge done. 'Apno ki madad se recharge' feature, on the other hand, allows subscribers to request a recharge from a friend or family.
Vodafone has introduced a new #RechargeforGood programme that permits a subscriber to make around 6 percent cashback on recharges performed for somebody else. These recharges will need to be performed employing the MyVodafone or MyIdea apps. In the same way, Airtel has introduced the'Earn From Home' program, wherein an Airtel subscriber has to enroll to become a Superhero, and then subsequent recharge of other people's prepaid account will earn them a cashback. Airtel provides a blatant cut of 4% in recharge amount, wherein the Superhero might have to pay less for the recharge at checkout.
