Telecom regulator TRAI Friday said inactive mobile connections of pre-paid customers cannot be deactivated if they have a minimum balance of Rs. 20 in their account and the time period for considering 'inactive' has been set at 90 days. Announcing an amendment to a regulation for protecting consumers, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) said "There shall be no deactivation if the balance in pre-paid consumer account is Rs. 20 or more." "The mobile connections of prepaid consumers shall not be deactivated for any period of non-usage less than 90 days," TRAI said. As per amended regulations, telecom operator will have to provide facility to pre-paid to reactivate numbers by paying reasonable amount. "A consumer whose connection is deactivated shall be given a grace period of 15 days within which he can reactivate the same number," TRAI added. via Technology - Google News http://news.google.com/news/url?sa=t&fd=R&usg=AFQjCNGfV6rxtc2B7DTLw842qI6SmUDjOw&url=http://gadgets.ndtv.com/telecom/news/mobile-connections-with-at-least-rs-20-balance-cannot-be-deactivated-334552
