Recharges of Jio, Airtel, Vi will become expensive from tomorrow? Know the whole truth about the viral message, otherwise you will regret it!

This rumor is going viral on social media that many companies are sending messages to their customers telling them that recharges will soon become expensive. In this article, we will fully investigate this viral news and tell whether this claim is true or just a false rumour.

Viral post on X created a stir

These days a news is going viral on the social media platform X that mobile recharges are going to become expensive soon. A user named Abhishek Yadav has claimed that from tomorrow companies like Jio, Airtel and Vi can increase the prices of their plans. Therefore, it is being said that if you want to recharge at the old rate, this may be your last chance.

Don’t panic, no official announcement yet!

There is no need to panic at all due to the news on social media that recharge plans are expensive. Till now no telecom company has made any official announcement of increasing the prices, which means that the prices will remain the same for now. However, if you want to avoid the possibility of future price increases, you can rest easy by purchasing a plan with a longer validity.

Companies are trying to increase ARPU

The three major telecom companies of the country (Jio, Airtel and Vodafone-Idea) want to increase their average earnings per customer (ARPU). According to media reports, due to this reason, the prices of mobile recharge plans may increase by 10 to 12 percent in the next few months. If this increase happens, it will be the biggest price increase since 2024, which will directly impact millions of customers.

Cheap plans discontinued, now only expensive options!

Recently, Jio and Airtel have discontinued their cheap 1GB data-per-day prepaid plans. This change means that now customers are forced to buy expensive plans. Now, the most basic daily data plans from these companies start at 1.5GB-per-day, which costs around ₹299. This price is about 17% more than the old ₹ 249 plan. However, Vi (Vodafone Idea) is still offering a 1GB-per-day plan for ₹299.

It is necessary to increase tariffs, but smartly!

Telecom companies like Airtel and Vi have been saying for a long time that it is necessary for them to increase the tariffs, as they have to spend a lot of money to improve their networks and 5G. But instead of increasing prices directly, they are now discontinuing cheaper plans. Due to this, customers are forced to buy expensive plans. In this way, companies are cleverly increasing their average revenue per customer (ARPU).
