If you think that the much-hyped offer of unlimited free
calls between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. from the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited
(BSNL) to landline customers is actually free, think again.
The
State-owned telecom operator has brought in a fresh rider to the offer
introduced to both existing and new customers from May 1. In April,
subscribers began receiving an SMS alert: “Dear Customer, make unlimited
free night call from BSNL landline to any network from May 1.
But
on Tuesday, subscribers received another SMS: “Dear customer, Use BSNL
landline for unlimited free calling from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. to service
provider networks in India. This facility is available to customers
under specific plans only. For details, call 18003451500.”
It
is learnt that broad band users of different tariff plans will be
deprived of the unlimited free calls offer. Initially it was decided
that the proviso would be applicable only to government employees. But
now all BSNL landline users come under it.
“The
broadband schemes are of two types — separate monthly rental and combo
offers. The decision has come from the corporate office seeking
broadband users to switch over to profitable plans,” official sources
said.
