State-owned telecom operator BSNL
has released several new prepaid packs and revised its postpaid plans.
Starting off with the most affordable of the lot, BSNL has introduced
its Rs. 118 prepaid pack that offers a total of 1GB 3G/ 4G data, and
unlimited voice calls (including roaming except for Delhi and Mumbai
circles) with a validity of 28 days. Users will get free access to
Personalised Ring Back Tone (PRBT) and is valid only in the Tamil Nadu
circle.
The Rs. 118 pack directly takes on the Rs. 98 pack from Reliance Jio
that offers a total of 2GB 4G data, truly unlimited voice calls, 300
SMS messages, and complimentary subscription to Jio's suite of apps with
a validity of 28 days.
Moving to the next pack; BSNL has also introduced
one worth Rs. 379 that offers 4GB 3G/ 4G data per day and unlimited
BSNL-to-BSNL voice calls (30 minutes per day) for a total of 30 days.
This pack, valid only in Kerala circle, takes on Jio's Rs. 349 and Rs.
399 prepaid packs that offer 1.5GB 4G data per day, alongside unlimited
voice calls (domestic, STD, and roaming), and 100 SMS messages per day
for 70 days and 84 days respectively.
Another pack exclusively
available for the Kerala telecom circle, BSNL's Rs. 551 prepaid pack
offers 1.5GB 4G data per day (unlimited access after FUP at 80Kbps) and
free access to PRBT. It does not offer any calling benefits, Telecom
Talk notes.
Another
Rs. 444 pack offers the same data and PRBT benefits albeit with
unlimited voice calls and a lower validity of 60 days. Do note that
calls to other networks are limited to 200 minutes per day. The Rs. 666
prepaid pack was recently revised for Kerala subscribers to offer 1GB 4G
data per day, unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS messages per day, for a
period of 129 days.
Lastly, the Rs. 485 prepaid pack provides
users with 1GB data per day, unlimited voice calls, 100 SMS messages per
day, and has a validity of 90 days.
The recently launched Rs. 399 postpaid plan has now been modified
to offer outgoing roaming calls which were seemingly not part of the
offer at launch. Another premium postpaid plan, worth Rs. 799, has been
announced that gives benefits such as total of 30GB data and unlimited
voice calls.
