Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, popularly known as BSNL, has launched two new prepaid plans in a bid to expand its offerings and cater to a wider audience. Priced at ₹228 and ₹239, these plans come with a validity of 30 days. These plans will be in effect starting today, July 1, 2022.
BSNL, in its current prepaid portfolio, has unlimited data plans offering up to 5 GB of data every day with a validity of 84 days. On the lower end of the pricing spectrum, the offerings above ten days of validity come with at least 1 GB of daily data balance. These two new plans are set to slot in right between these two pricing extremes.
The ₹228 plan will offer 2 GB of daily data and 100 SMSes daily. This plan will have unlimited voice calling and will come bundled with Challenges Arena Mobile Gaming Service on the Progressive Web App. After the daily data limit has been reached, the internet browsing speeds will be capped at 80 Kbps.
When it comes to the more expensive ₹239 plan, the offering includes the benefits that are included in the ₹228 plan. There is a daily data allowance of 2 GB and everything else that is being offered in the cheaper plan. The only difference is that this plan will include an additional ₹ ten talk time. Some people might flock to this more expensive offering because the plan offers the extra talk time, which might come in handy in certain cases where free voice and SMSes do not come in clutch.
The other thing about these plans that might draw customers towards them is that they have a full month’s validity. This means that if you recharge on the 15th of a month, then the next recharge will need to be done on the same day of the next month.
