In case you’re wondering what’s all fuss about ‘truly’ unlimited voice calling, well, all telcos have hiked ir tariffs – in some cases, by up to 50 per cent – following Supreme Court's October 24 AGR ruling. One of biggest changes, post ruling, is that telcos longer offer free unlimited voice calls to or networks. re’s an FUP, meaning calls to or mobile networks aren’t free, beyond a cap anymore.  

Airtel is first telco in India to offer a workaround to offer unlimited voice calling, and chances are, rivals will follow in coming days.
