BSNL now offering unlimited calls, 30GB data at Rs. 399
State-owned telecom operator Bharat
Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new plan for its postpaid
users in India. Dubbed as ‘Holi Dhamaka’, the plan offers calling and
data benefits. Under this plan, postpaid subscribers will get unlimited
voice calls including local, STD and roaming at Rs. 399 for one billing
cycle. Additionally, the plan provides 30GB data to customers.
As compared to other packs from private
telecom operators, BSNL’s offer is better as there is no daily or
monthly restrictions on data usage. On the flip side, unlike its
competitors, the telco doesn’t offer 4G speeds in most regions. Do note
that, currently BSNL provides 4G Internet only in Kerala. However, it
recently joined hands with Nokia to roll out 4G VoLTE services in 10
telecom circles.
Speaking of the benefits of this new
plan, R.K. Mittal, Director, BSNL Board, said, “this postpaid offering
with unlimited calling and 30 GB data at Rs. 399 per month is one of the
best in the industry. This extremely competitive and economical
postpaid plan is for our existing and new customers. We are committed to
provide affordable and efficient services to our customers.”
The Rs. 399 plan is available for all
the BSNL postpaid customers across the country. For those who are
unaware, the telco collects a security deposit of Rs. 500 when you first
subscribe to the postpaid network.
BSNL’s ‘Holi Dhamaka’ plan is in direct
competition with the Rs. 399 plan of Airtel and Vodafone. At Rs. 399,
the companies offer unlimited calls, 100 SMSes per day and 20GB of
bundled data. As stated earlier, there is a daily cap on the data usage.
Reliance Jio and Idea Cellular have
similar plans as well. Jio offers unlimited calling benefits and 30GB
data (no daily caps) at Rs. 409, whereas Idea Cellular offers unlimited
calls and 20GB data at Rs. 389.
Last month, BSNL had launched a Rs.
1,595 plan for its postpaid users. Under this offer, customers are
entitled to get unlimited voice calls and data without any daily cap.
Further, the plan offers 250 SMSes per billing cycle. The Rs. 1,595 plan
is also available to all BSNL postpaid subscribers in the country.
