The state-run telecom operator BSNL has now launched special Friends & Family benefits for its GSM subscribers in the Punjab circle. This move comes when it is facing stiff competition from private players in the business. So, they have launched the plan to bind their customers as they are losing out customers in the region.
Under this promotional scheme, all prepaid users (both new & existing) who are on the 'Per Second Plan - PV 36' or 'Per Minute Plan - PV 37' will get the benefits to add five local numbers to whom they can call at just 20p/min for on-net & 40p/minute for off-net numbers. If they wish, they can add one BSNL STD number in the Friends & Family list, which would be charged at 30p/min.
