BSNL Enables Migration from Landline to Bharat Fiber Voice Conversion

The operator said that the migration to Bharat Fiber Voice by retaining existing number is currently enabled to those landline users on next-generation network (NGN) switch belonging to ZTE, UTStar and Huawei. BSNL said that the existing deposit of users “will be taken into account in billing automatically” on migrating to Bharat Fiber connection.

NGN switch is said to handle multiple types of traffic such as data, voice and multimedia. It has been reported that the operator has been upgrading its exchanges to NGN technology since 2015. However, it was said those landline numbers not tied to NGN switch are required to file for landline disconnection and create a separate order for Bharat Fiber provisioning.

BSNL Users Required to Select Plan and Facilities for Migration to Bharat Fiber Connection

The operator said that the users are required to select the plan and facilities when migrating from landline and broadband combo to Bharat Fiber voice and broadband combo. BSNL said that the users will retain their existing landline number and broadband user ID on migrating to Bharat Fiber connection.
