BSNL to Match Pvt Telcos - Offers 2GB Data/Day + Unltd Calling @ Rs 339

The government owned network operator is going to revise its unlimited plans with better offerings that match the private telco’s plans. Back in December 2016, BSNL came out with two plans of Rs. 99 (price varies with the circle) and Rs. 339 plan was offering unlimited calls and limited data. And now, the company revises the same plans with better data offering.

The Rs. 99 plan in coming days will offer unlimited on-net calls and 500MB data for 28 days. Previously, the same plan used to provide unlimited on-net calls, but only 300MB data. This is not a great benefit. However, here comes the real deal.

The Rs. 339 plan previously used to offer unlimited calls to any network and 1GB of data for 28 days. But, BSNL revamped the plan and now offers the same unlimited calling to any network and unlimited data for 28 days with a daily data cap of 2GB, and that’s far better than that of Reliance Jio’s and any other private telcos.

Nevertheless, BSNL has made some restrictions to the unlimited calling in Rs. 339 plan, though. Every user can make unlimited calls within BSNL network, but the off-net calls are limited to just 25 minutes per day, and after 25 minutes, each user will be charged at 25 paise per minute. This calling restriction from BSNL is underwhelming as Jio offers unlimited calling to any network with all of its tariff plans. Bharti Airtel, Vodafone India, and Idea Cellular are offering 300 minutes free calling per day and 1200 minutes per week.

These plans are ‘Promotional offers’ of BSNL, which means that the company will modify them after 90 days, much like how Jio converted the Jio Welcome Offer to Jio New Year Offer. Our sources also claim that these offers will be live in next two to three days.

That said, BSNL has finally come up with something to tackle the JioPrime membership scheme and other operators yearly plans of Rs. 345 and so on, where they are offering unlimited calling and 1GB data per day for one year if they recharge within March.

Per day minutes is a stupid idea, Even 1,000 minutes per month was more than enough and then they could have charged 25p/min Post Free minutes.

2GB/day is enough, Plan is for BSNL fanboys.. Normal folks won't buy this to be honest.

BSNL should have wound up long time ago. You can never exhaust their 2GB data as most of the time the data connection never gets through and the call drop is significantly high.
 
If BSNL works for you, it is great. If you have service issues, no one at BSNL can help you, because they don't know how to. Their trouble shooting is limited to "ADSL link fine?", then Internet is fine. If it is still not working, they can't help you. If it works for 5 minutes in one hour, it is good enough for them.
