Telecom regulator TRAI today allowed operators to provide new kind of recharge coupons for pre-paid connections that will provide dual benefit to consumers.

The new "Combo vouchers" will enable customers to add value in their mobile phone account as well as avail services at discounted rates.

Earlier rules allowed only three categories of vouchers, namely Plan Vouchers (either through cards or electronically) that enrols a consumer into a tariff plan, Top-up coupons for adding monetary value in to pre-paid account of consumers and Special Tariff Vouchers for getting value added services or discounts on services.

Combo Vouchers will enable mobile phone subscribers to add monetary value to their prepaid balance as well as get benefit of special tariffs through a single transaction instead.

Telecom operators will also have to provide option of standalone top up vouchers along with combo vouchers.
