While there is still some time for the BSNL and MTNL's merger to come
into effect, the companies have already come together to offer new
free-calling plans to its users. Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has
announced that its three of its popular prepaid plans will now be
offering free calls to MTNL numbers as well.
The free calls can be made to MTNL numbers in Delhi and Mumbai where BSNL does not have its circles. BSNL operates in 20 circles while MTNL operates in Delhi and Mumbai.
There are three plans under the MTNL free calling offer- Rs 429, Rs 485 and Rs 666. You should know that these aren't new plans as BSNL had launched them long back. However, these plans did not work in Delhi and Mumbai circles. The company has changed now and subscribers can call on MTNL numbers also now.
The Rs 429 plan offers free call voice calling benefits on all networks now including MTNL along with 1GB data per day for 81 days. The Rs 485 plan offers free calls and 1.5GB data per day for 90 days. The Rs 666 plan also offers free calling and same data benefits as Rs 485 plan but the validity is more. It comes with 122 days validity.
"Unlimited voice facility including MTNL network in Mumbai and Delhi with FUP (Customer using more than 250 minutes outgoing minutes [(local+STD+outgoing Roaming) (On-net/off-net) as per Unlimited recharge benefits] in a day will be charged at base plan tariff, after consumption of 250 minutes for the rest of the day till midnight 0.00hrs.)," says BSNL.
The Cabinet has finally given its approval for the merger of debt-ridden BSNL and MTNL. The government has also given its nod for the 4G-spectrum allocation. The 4G spectrum allocation would be done at 2016 prices and administratively. The government will invest Rs 29,937 crore in this revival plan with the combined assets of the two companies worth Rs 38,000 crore which will be monetized. The two companies will together raise a sovereign bond of Rs 15,000 crore for their revival.
