The government-owned telecom operator, BSNL keeps on launching new interesting plans for its customers. It recently launched an amazing fiber internet plan. The telco dropped its plan offering 200 Mbps speed and instead launched a new plan with 100 Mbps speed which is offering 1.4TB of data. But that’s for data, coming to the voice calling services, BSNL’s Tamil Nadu circle is offering STVs (Special Tariff Vouchers) to its customers. We are going to focus on the voice-only STVs. The telco is offering 5 voice only STVs which start from a mere Rs 19 and can offer unlimited calling benefit as well. Let’s take a look at all the voice-only STVs from BSNL.
BSNL Voice Only STV of Rs 19
This is the cheapest special tariff voucher (STV) under the voice-only category from BSNL. It comes for only Rs 19. There are no other benefits except for voice calling with this voucher as the name suggests. However, calls do not become free completely, you have to pay 20 Paise per minute for your calls. You can make calls to any network you wish to. The validity of the voucher stands at 30 days from the day of purchase.
BNSL Voice Only STV of Rs 99
This is the second voucher offered from BSNL under the voice-only STV category. It comes for Rs 99. Unlike the Rs 19 voucher though, you will get unlimited calling benefit with this voucher. However, the unlimited calling benefit is for 250 minutes per day only. After that every call that you make, you will be charged at base tariff. Also for all the calls made to premium numbers and international numbers include a certain fee as well. The validity of the voucher is 22 days only.
