Vodafone — Recharge plans

I felt Vodafone is charging hefty amount from its customer... because of too much increase in prices. For sending one sms you have to recharge for 179 rs is this fair ...they are saying ...u can't send sms even i[censored] have amount in your main balance what kind of service is this ...your forcing customer too much for an sms...i find that no plan is available for sending sms below 179 ...in all plans they are saying you can't send sms.what kind of service is this ...what's is use of such plans ...whats use of having balance in my account even if I can't send sms...it's unfair according to me...if my recharge is over and if I have to port then I have to recharge for 179 is this fair ...it's too much ...my mobile number [protected]...
