State-owned telecom operator BSNL
has announced that it has discontinued seven of its prepaid plans
across different telecom circles. The plans withdrawn by the operator
include the special tariff vouchers (STV), combo STV and the recently
revised prepaid data plan priced at Rs 821.
The telecom operator confirmed that it has withdrawn its plans
including STV plans of Rs 398, Rs 629, Rs 2,399, Rs 821 and Rs 1,949,
while two other plans discontinued are Rs 3,099 and Rs 1,402. The
operator also confirmed that BSNL subscribers will not be able to
recharge with the above mentioned tariff plans starting today. The move
will disappoint some BSNL users, but it also paves way for the recently introduced ‘KOOL’ prepaid plan.
