Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has one of the cheapest 90 days prepaid plans in India if you consider service validity. Of course, BSNL won't be the first choice for most consumers because of the lack of high-speed networks in most parts. Slowly but surely, the state-run telecom operator is tackling this issue and rolling out 4G with homegrown technology. Today, we will talk about an affordable 90-day validity prepaid plan from BSNL which users can recharge with to keep their SIM active and get basic benefits.
The plan we are referring to here is the Rs 439 STV (special tariff voucher). Let's take a look at this plan and what makes it a unique offering from BSNL.

This is a validity plan targeted at users who just want the primary benefit of voice calling. It can be a decent option for users if they are looking to recharge for a secondary SIM in general.
Due to such affordable plans, BSNL has managed to add new wireless customers at the cost of the private telcos' subscriber base. None of the private telcos have such an affordable 90 days prepaid plan available for their customers. Once BSNL rolls out 4G, then the telco will pose a serious competition to the private telcos with plans like these in the Indian market where consumers are extremely price sensitive.
