Need to send 1 SMS from VI prepaid. But unable to.

You have to recharge with pack that have SMS
for vi I think its 155 min

Recharge with 10 should work

I really sense the scam in these telecom sector in the name of Validity

For 1 SMS they collecting 100+

Previously lifetime free sim something similar offers issued

Don't you sense any scam in this?

@Budhe-Baba

May be this is intentionally done, so even for porting number between operators, customer will need to recharge with a high value pack that has outgoing sms facility. Even TRAI had earlier instructed all operators to provide sms facility with low-cost packs, but they are clearly violating them.

For sms no main balance is used .u have to recharge with min pack which includes 'n' no sms mentioned in the pack..basic pack with validity will work

operators are looting people in the name of main balance 

earlier porting was available even with 10rs 

now u need minimum 155 rs to port out 😒

My vi

Just send port msg see response

Vi is the worst. Just to keep the number active, Today I see that 99₹ is giving only 15 days, so for 30 days validity 198 recharge.

I thought I would port out, but they are blocking my port out message when I have talktime. I thought I'll do a basic recharge plan of 99 and send sms but even there are no outgoing sms allowed. So now do they expect an outgoing customer to spend 198 and port out or any other SMS facility pack which is surely above 125 bucks.

What nonsense.
