In Karnataka, I activate the pack by sending “STVSMS11″ to 53733. The activation will happen in 2 hours. Its a little buggy though; even though it get activated, it will send and sms saying “invalid code”

The UNIONS are the main culprits, and unfortunately every cast,creed, category have unions of their own in these PSUs. Their leaders will loose their Netagiri once the merger takes place. In fact men at the lower and middle category wants the merger for they fear loosing their job if the present scenario contunued. Understand the fact that as of now for both the units making losses. And the pvt ops are making hey..! Sibalji is only interested in anything other than TELECOM. Definitely there will be a silver lining !
rajiev April 29, 2011 at 9:33 am
plz private operator do this same
aks April 29, 2011 at 2:33 am
@all ……Here in west bengal…….STV13 can,t be clubbed with any other STV. i.e. if you want to use STV13 then you have to be in base plan. Is it also same for the other circle/region ?
Keshav Jha April 28, 2011 at 11:53 pm
1p/sms plan is not available in Bihar.
Mahesh April 28, 2011 at 11:15 pm
Agreed PD, but Kapil Sibal & ruling party will never do it. Even Union of BSNL not understand the importance of MTNL BSNL merge. Even I think both PSU GSM/mobile services to be merge & make seprate Co. If this happened then also no one can beat this PSU Co. They have inbuilt Infrastructure, skilled, experienced manpower to improve their servies, Say thanks to Kapil Sibal & his team who are working 24/7 for COAI,AUSPI.
Abhijit April 28, 2011 at 7:00 pm

abhay April 28, 2011 at 6:44 pm

I think yes and might be STV cost is Rs.13 for Punjab Circle, check with BSNL CC to confirm the plan availability for ur circle.
Parminder Singh April 28, 2011 at 12:52 pm
