The answer

The relationship between the subscriber and the telecommunications company is one of buying and selling, and the commodity is the communication service.

What the buyer pays is in exchange for the service, and it is not considered the exchange of money for money. Therefore, equality between the amount paid and the added credit is not a condition.

There is no harm in the credit being less or more than the price paid, as it is based on mutual consent between the two parties.

The additional credit provided by the company is considered a price reduction or a gift to encourage the user, and there is no harm in either.
