Airtel New Plans: Last month, TRAI (Telecom Regulatory Authority of India) recommended launching affordable, data-free plans for 2G users. Following this, major telecom companies in India have introduced such plans. Jio and Airtel have launched voice-only plans designed specifically for users who rely on calling services and do not require internet data.
