All the private telecom GSM operators furnishing non realistic information to TRAI.Because if tomorrow the private companies want to sell some part of their company,its worth depends on the customer base.if really they added this amount of customers,why they are announcing less profits in for the past few years.is it for escaping from tax burdens?.BSNL and MTNL are only genuine companies in this regard.BSNL and MTNL are not cheating customers in the way like hiding extra charges. BSNL and MTNL billing is very very transparent.
no, its because of KBC. ppl keep sending sms for kaun banega crorepati and their sim is active !
