Airtel to Bill Its Prepaid Customers on a Per Second Basis Monday Sep 21,2015

 

Airtel has moved all its prepaid subscribers across the country to pay-per-second, ensuring customers pay only for the time they use the network.

The move comes amid regulatorTRAI examining whether there are any tariff plans by the service providers wherein call drops actually incentivise or benefit the companies. "... starting today it will move all its prepaid mobile customers nationally to the more affordable per-second bill plan... this will help ensure customers pay only for the time they use the Airtel network," the company said in a statement.

Prepaid customers constituted 94.4 % of its total user base at the end of June 2015

Though a large majority of its prepaid mobile customers are already on the per-second billing plan, with this initiative, Airtel will ensure all the prepaid base is moved to the per-second plan, the company added.
