BSNL offers 3GB extra data with this prepaid recharge plan
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced a promotional offer on one of its prepaid mobile recharge plans for users in India. With this offer, prepaid users can get an additional 3GB data on top of the existing plan benefits when they recharge exclusively using the BSNL Selfcare app. Notably, the state-owned telecom service provider recently introduced two new services in the country – fiber optic-based intranet TV and direct-to-device satellite connectivity.
BSNL say prepaid users can now enjoy more data with the Rs. 599 prepaid recharge plan. It has a validity of 84 days and offers 3GB of data per day along with unlimited local and STD calling and 100 daily text messages. In addition to the daily benefits, BSNL customers also receive 3GB of additional data.
The prepaid recharge plan also bundles other value-added services such as subscriptions to music and video streaming app Zing, Personal Ring Back Tone, Astrotell and GameOn. All benefits of the plan are applicable only on recharge using the BSNL Selfcare app available on both Android and iOS platforms.
The telecom provider is also offering similar benefits with the Rs. 299 prepaid recharge plan, but it has a reduced validity of 30 days.
Robert Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL recently announced that the telecom operator will not increase tariffs. Instead, it will focus on improving the quality of its services in a bid to retain the new consumers it has acquired following the price hike implemented by telecom operators such as Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio in India. This increase resulted in BSNL gaining 2.9 million subscribers in India in July, with lower tariffs seen as a key reason for consumer migration.
According to the official, the telecom operator plans to grow its market share in the country to 25 percent by 2025. Some of the driving factors behind this expected growth are the seven recently announced services, including spam protection, Wi-Fi roaming service for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) consumers, Any Time SIM (ATM) kiosks and a fiber-based intranet TV service.
