BSNL Modifies Rs. 199 Postpaid Plan; What Has Changed?

This new plan by the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is the revised version of the Rs. 199 postpaid plan. In the new and revised plan, BSNL will offer unlimited off-net and on-net voice calls, without any fair usage policy (FUP). Previously, this plan included only 300 minutes of off-net calls.

As per a tweet by the Chennai division of BSNL, the modified postpaid plan has been in effect since February 1. Additionally, it has been confirmed by BSNL that the revision has been made effective throughout the country.

The same plan was recently modified by the state owned telecom operator in December, and it offers 25 GB of internet data on a monthly basis along with unlimited voice calling support. This will be applicable on  home network and national roaming including the MTNL roaming area.

Additionally, 100 SMSes per day will also be offered under the same plan to the customers of BSNL.

BSNL’s New Plan To Take On Jio’s Rs. 199 Postpaid Plan?

However, Reliance Jio’s plan also offers a complimentary subscription to Jio apps.
