BSNL is known for introducing circle-specific prepaid plans in the country. The telco has now introduced two new prepaid STVs in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana circle with unlimited voice calling benefit. The two prepaid plans are BSNL Ananth and Ananth Plus, priced at Rs 105 and Rs 328. Both the plans offer unlimited local, STD and roaming voice calls, but the validity differs. Notably, these plans are also available in other circles too, but with different denominations of Rs 99 and Rs 319. Having said that, the benefit of the prepaid plans remain the same.

BSNL Ananth Plus Prepaid Plan: Benefits and Validity
Firstly, let’s talk about the BSNL Ananth Plus prepaid recharge which comes with a validity of 90 days. Users recharging with this plan will be able to make unlimited voice calls to any network in India, sans the users located in Mumbai and Delhi. For the unknown, state-run Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has its operations in 20 telecom circles of India, but the other two circles- Mumbai and Delhi are being covered by Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL). This plan is priced at Rs 328 in Andhra Pradesh & Telangana circle, but in some circles, the plan can be purchased for Rs 319 only. Do make a note that all the circles will get the same unlimited calling for 90 days.
The voice calling benefit is unlimited and it works even on roaming. Only Jio and Airtel are offering unlimited voice calls to any network in the country and BSNL wants to tackle them with this new calling plan.
