BSNL To Offer Free 3.6 Mbps Data Card With Postpaid Plans

Pan India 3G mobile and Data service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has decided to offer free 3.G Mbps data card as a promotional Independence day offer for its prospective postpaid customers.

BSNL To Offer Free 3.6 Mbps Data Card With Postpaid Plans

To avail the offer one has to initially pay for cost of the 3.6 Mbps data card as taken from BSNL as per prevailing price and the customer has to subscribe to a postpaid plan with a FMC of more than Rs 400.

The cost of the data card will be returned to the customer by way of monthly cash back in bill over a period of 8 months.

BSNL also offers 3G data tariff plans for prepaid customers which starts from Rs. 25 to Rs. 3000 in all circles. As reported earlier BSNL slashed its 3G Data Card (Terracom LW272 and HFCL 3.6 Mbps) price from Rs. 1600 to Rs. 1280 (Excluding 5% VAT) by 20% approx as a promotional offer.

The above offer will be launched with effect from 1.8.2012.

    I have used 3G data card of vodafone, reliance, airtel. But the speed of BSNL is best and same speed is available in all the city. The speed of net is almost same in whole city for the BSNL 3G but it vary for the other service provider.

    If you put 3.6 mbps datacard you will get 2 mbps only but 14.4 mbps datacard gives 9mbps speed in the same sim card same plan. speed is very good nice BSNL

    @Kannan
    they may occasionally be cheap but you might as well pay a little more to get an actually decent network. one that gives good quality instead of simply showing signal as full, one that provides 3g speeds instead of less than 2g when we are paying for 3g, one that provides 4mbps broadband instead of less than 2mbps when we are paying for 4mbps, one whose customer care will not say ‘thats the best speed you will get for a 4mbps plan. you’ll never get 4mbps. maximum 3mbps but usually less than that’ , one whose customer care actually answers the bloody phone… etc.

    If u call BSNL care they say their is no 25Rs 3G pack its minimum 101Rs. I have also recharged with 25Rs and 151Rs 3G packs but never got 3G speed always 12-16Kbps downloading. Crap BSNL system they can not even identify that user has recharged with a 3G pack and he/she should get 3G speed.

    Its Full Paisa Vasool By Bsnl to its user’s

    why?
    1- 3.6Mbps datacard have poor perfamence (mostly max 2Mbps)
    2- curently bsnl network is full down (in congestion Status)
    3- pvt opraters allready providing good speed with good data card(7.2mbps)

    i have all speed data card
    in same airtel network+sim getting as follow’s
    in 3.6mbps data card getting 1.9mbps (max 2.5)
    in 7.2mbps data card getting 3.9mbps (max 4.2)
    in 28mbps data card getting 7.2mbps (max 7.5)

    so use better data card
    if pay for high speed then get high speed

    biharibabu :
    pahle to bsnl apna speed 3.6mbps se badhaye aur kam se kam 7.2mbps to kare. uske baad freebies ki soche

    …Even then who cares for POST PAID …? Experiences have shown that post-paid connection does not last for long and is true with almost all the players ! Of course exception – if the bills are being paid by the employer or somebody other than the actual user….!
