Thanks l, Prof
I really needed this.
This is absolute rubbish. I have never seen any hourly plan that’s been capped in my life. It’s a rip-off if U ask me.
Just made a research on this abt airtel yesterday. No need to wake in the night for midnight plan. Will just use this instead and 1 hour is more than enough time to finish any of the plans.
