Airtel has launched India’s first voice-only prepaid plans starting at ₹185, finally ditching mandatory data for feature-phone users. While it complies with new TRAI rules, the pricing has sparked intense debate online.

- **The Pros:** Perfect for secondary SIMs and Wi-Fi-only users.
- **The Cons:** Critics argue it’s too pricey and the 28-day cycle feels like a hidden cost.
