BSNL NEW RC 91 IN KOLKATA
ALL LOCAL & STD 40 PAISE FOR 90 DAYS
Udayan January 8, 2013 at 10:08 pm
Complete wastage of Money…..Better go for Local pack from AIRCEL and recharge another number with STD packs at around 35-40Rs for 100 STD minutes…
dskushwaha January 11, 2013 at 5:36 pm
STD pack Rs 35-40 for 100 minutes is too much. I have RGSM without any Pack with all calls (Local & STD) with Rs. 1 for 3 min, but still use BSNL’s unlimited STD plan on my another SIM to save money.
Aditya Maheshwari January 6, 2013 at 4:24 pm
All telecom companies are on the way to hike tariff. But we can’t expect it from BSNL. After all companies bsnl also hiked SMS voucher plan, Call rates and GPRS.
BSNL dont hike call rates & add more consumers otherwise face bullshit
raj January 6, 2013 at 11:46 am
yes I too saw it.but it is printed in very small letters at the back of pocket internet paper recharge card.
Sandy January 6, 2013 at 8:42 am
People using BSNL only because of its coverage. Now Airtel, Idea coverage is almost equal to BSNL.. BSNL is already in loss. If they don’t reduce their plan price, Soon they will shut down their business… Its better some private company take over BSNL Or make it private.. Government can’t handle it..
S.Sudhakar January 6, 2013 at 6:24 pm
Don’t post false comments man. Mention the circle also. In Tamilnadu, BSNL is providing EXCELLENT COVERAGE in remote areas. No operators can near BSNL in terms of coverage.
Idea is waste. But call rate is cheap.
Aravind Ganesh V January 8, 2013 at 2:47 pm
Its u who is posting false comments. I am frm Chennai. I was using BSNL for a long time. If there is any network whose call quality is poor it is BSNL. Their network is pathetic. Its Airtel which is providing excellent coverage all through the Chennai/ TN circle
anoop January 5, 2013 at 9:55 pm
its true… Wef 10.1.13
santosh January 5, 2013 at 9:48 pm
I think BSNL is trying to minimise its lose by doing these steps but sorry people will port out from BSNL due to these price hike. Particularly in ODISHA Vodfone Aircel and reliance Idea has onnet unlimited pack at RS 249. and also all these companies have a best pack that is in between price of RS 130 for onnet 20 hours including Docomo. so why one can pay RS 350 for the same if yo ignore 6PM to 10 PM. so may we seen a heavy MNP in ODISHA for BSNL………..please try to add more customer by creating market attracting STV ….and in this way the only loss you will increase and become bankrupt….
S.Sudhakar January 5, 2013 at 8:38 pm
To telecomtalk :
I am talking about Tamilnadu :
You said that some private operators will charge base tariff for voice calls during the festival days. It is not so here.
You are saying that BSNL has increased on net unlimited STV tariffs. This is also false.
See this file tamilnadu.bsnl.co.in/CM/AdCirculars/STV%5BBoosters%5D.pdf
Please do not spread false news.

ITS TIME TO SWITCH TO CDMA. RELIANCE CDMA IS PROVIDING GOOD DATA PACKS IN AP CIRCLE. SPEED IS GOOD. RELIANCE CDMA AND GSM HAS VERY GOOD OFFERS AND CDMA NETWORK IS EXCELLENT. I DONT KNOW WHY THEY ARE NOT PROMOTING CDMA!
Fanis January 5, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Because of unavailability of good handSets !!!
kingston January 5, 2013 at 5:29 pm
Don’t blame BSNL. Due to the pressure from Department of Telecommunication only They increased. We can not expect any good tariff until Kapil Sibal is there. Airtel giving pressure to Other companies through Kapil Sibal. Don’t vote to congress next time.
soumya January 5, 2013 at 3:57 pm
FRIENDS ITS NOT ONLY AIRTEL, IDEA, VODAFONE HAS REDUCE DATA , ITS ALSO AIRCEL WHICH HAD REDUCE DATA PACK IN TERMS OF MB,, AIRCEL UNLIMTED 3G AND 2G PACKS DATA ARE REDUCED, RS 19 PACK- UPTO 250 MB, BEYOND 250 MB THE SPEED IS CAPPED TO 32 kbps, RS 38 PACK- UPTO 500MB, BEYOND 500 MB THE SPEED IS CAPPED TO 32 kbps, RS 128 pack- UPTO 1 GB, BEYOND 1 GB THE SPEED IS CAPPED TO 32 kbps. AIRCEL SO CALLED UNLIMITED ENDS, SURFING WITH A CAPPED SPEED OF 32 kbps WILL BE USELESS.

aircel switched off their tower since yesterday in karnataka also (kota/udupi)
when asked about this they said “we dont have network share with tata docomo in some places…. you can port out no problem”
i have recharged with 67Rs (some 250mb 3g 15days validity ) just 3 days ago
withdrawn sms offer also
now i have to look for other alternate options such as reliance gsm or virgin gsm
Pavan January 5, 2013 at 3:21 pm
I wish they dont increase 2G data tariffs.
Jan January 5, 2013 at 2:43 pm
But the 90 days pack are cheaper than the existing and previous 30 days packs. Regular users can opt for 90 days pack.
sujit January 5, 2013 at 2:31 pm
looks like bsnl officials have taken loads of money to give away customers to pvt n/w
Tharun George January 5, 2013 at 1:58 pm
Looks likes BSNL New Year resolution was to hike all tariff.
Sam January 6, 2013 at 11:34 pm
