Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) offers a variety of prepaid plans. Since the telco’s website isn’t the most user friendly in terms of navigation and plan listing, users tend to miss out on some of its really good prepaid plans. One such prepaid plan that’s been overlooked for a long time is the Rs 699 plan from the telco. It was announced one year ago, and the telco is still offering it with the same benefits. This plan makes for a perfect case for the users who need a prepaid subscription for the long term but don’t need a lot of data.
Let’s take a look at the benefits of the plan to determine what makes it a good option for users who are looking for a long-term plan.
BSNL Rs 699 Prepaid Plan
The Rs 699 prepaid plan from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited offers users unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day. The plan is valid for 180 days or six months, which means it is a plan for a long-term subscription. Users get 500MB or 0.5GB fair-usage-policy (FUP) data with this plan every day for 180 days. It means that the total data this plan ships with is 90GB. Further, once the FUP data is consumed, the internet speed drops to 80 Kbps.
The benefits of the plan are also applicable for users in roaming or in areas of Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL), i.e., Mumbai or Delhi. Users will also get a free caller tune facility for the first 60 days with the plan.
