lol. it's not like they can get local mobile numbers if they were operating illegally? i can see uses for it but not enough to get into a long term plan. hard to tell if they are doing proper kyc. though online payment should be enough to identify a person.

BSNL has been providing virtual no since 2018 in the brand name WINGS. So it must be legal.

eKYC is needed. And the prices have gone up. I think they have also added a couple of new features. I can't tell which.

749 for half-yearly and 999 for yearly. I hate this kind of pricing.

You can probably gift yourself a subscription at a 50% (DIWALI50) discount but can't buy it directly. Idiocy.
