why? it makes perfect sense. if you have not used a number for two months, you are not using it actively.
Yes but what if you went abroad for two months? There will be international charges so many of them do not use it, and in most cases the trip exceeds two months. Now if you are a Vodafone or Airtel subscriber and this is your only contact number where people can reach you when you are in India will you like to lose it? I still think the periodic recharging was a better option, say once every 6 months, and the idea is logical because ultimately the main concern of the operators is revenue and not whether their services are actively used.
Also, I am against the idea of operators move to immediately put the disconnected numbers for sale, as many of the forum members here are complaining and it appears many of them would like to reclaim it or reactivate it. The Operators needs to wait atleast another 6months to allow the customer to come back and reclaim it. These operators should not go about and do things as they please, it is affecting their customers, they should have conducted a survey before going ahead with this. And lastly TRAI needs to put a stop to it, and follow it with a well thought of process for disconnecting numbers.
