Is it permissible to subscribe to a telecommunications service that disconnects the service when the allotted minutes are used up? And can the subscription be renewed immediately upon the minutes running out, or must one wait until the end of the original month?

The answer

There is no objection to subscribing to a call minutes offer that expires after a specific period, even if the minutes are not fully utilized. This is because the payment becomes due upon enablement and the passage of time. Similarly, there is no objection to renewing the subscription to obtain new minutes if the current minutes run out before the agreed-upon period ends, provided the telecommunications company agrees.
