Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has increased the validity of two prepaid plans that are offered to customers PAN-India. These two plans have been a part of the telco's prepaid portfolio for a long time. It is definitely a surprising move as the telco generally engages in reducing the validity to increase its average revenue per user (ARPU). Increasing the validity of two plans is surprising, but can be a move to garner more market share in the wireless segment.
Since BSNL is currently rolling out 4G, it would want more users to experience its network services and to lure them in, this could be a strategy devised by the company. Let's take a look at these two plans now.
