Remembering Blackout days by our Telecos

Does anyone else remember those golden days of Indian telecom? The days when our beloved telecom operators would generously charge us for not using their services? * Blackout Days: Ah, the classic. No network, no service, but hey, the meter was still running! * Rate Cutters, Be Gone!: Those little magical devices that promised to save us a few bucks? Yeah, they were as effective as a chocolate teapot. * Per-Second Billing: Every second counted. A simple "Hello" could cost you a fortune. * Per-SMS Charges: Even a "k" cost a precious rupee. It's like they were running a heist 24/7. We've come a long way, but sometimes I wonder if they're secretly plotting their next big rip-off. #TelecomRobbery #IndianTelecom #ThrowbackThursday #GoodOldDays
