Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has announced a new prepaid voucher of Rs 398 which will offer truly unlimited voice calling and data benefits to the user. To clarify, truly unlimited here means without fair usage policy (FUP) restrictions. Users will be able to make unlimited downloads/uploads and voice calls within India without worrying about exhausting FUP limits. It is worthy to note that none of the other prepaid offerings from any of the telecom operators including Airtel, Vodafone Idea (Vi), and Reliance Jio come with such a benefit — more on the story ahead.
BSNL Rs 398 Voucher Details
According to a report from KeralaTelecom, the Rs 398 prepaid voucher from BSNL will offer users truly unlimited data and voice calling benefits. The validity of this plan will be 30 days, and within these 30 days, the user can make unlimited downloads and uploads without worrying about any FUP limit.
In addition to the voice calling and data benefits, users will also get 100 SMS/day without additional cost. The unlimited voice calling and SMS benefits will also be applicable in the roaming and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) network areas including Delhi and Mumbai.
Users won’t be able to make outgoing calls or SMSs to premium numbers, international numbers, IN numbers, and other chargeable shortcodes for free. Any outgoing call or SMS to these numbers will attract standard charges. The state-run telecom operator reserves the right for discontinuing services for a user subscribed to this plan without any prior notice if he/she is found participating in any malpractice/misuse/fraudulent behaviour.
