BSNL is now offering two standalone data plans to its postpaid subscribers. Alongside revising the postpaid plans last month, BSNL also introduced a couple of data plans which start at Rs 150. The telco currently has just two data plans for the postpaid users priced at Rs 150 and Rs 250, and they offer up to 70GB of data benefit. In contrast, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea are also providing similar data plans to postpaid customers, but they are offering up to just 50GB of data benefit. The Rs 250 postpaid mobile phone data plan from BSNL comes with 70GB of data on top of existing postpaid plan’s data benefit. These postpaid data plans come in handy for the users who actively consume data on their mobile phone connection.
BSNL Postpaid Mobile Phone Data Plans Detailed
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) postpaid mobile phone data plans are priced at Rs 150 and Rs 250. The Rs 150 plan offers 40GB of data, whereas the Rs 250 plan comes with 70GB of data benefit. These plans can be activated on top of the existing postpaid plan. If we compare the BSNL postpaid data plans with those of Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea, the government-led PSU is miles ahead.
Vi’s postpaid data packs are priced at Rs 100 and Rs 200 with data benefit of 20GB and 50GB respectively. Similarly, Airtel’s Rs 100 postpaid data pack offers 15GB of data followed by the Rs 200 pack with 35GB data benefit. Airtel and Vi are also allowing users to recharge these data plans on top of the existing regular postpaid plan.
