Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has an amazing 75-day service validity prepaid plan for consumers. The plan comes with 2GB of daily data as well. But the best part is that it is priced under Rs 500. While BSNL's prepaid plan is a lot cheaper here, the fact that you don't get PAN-India 4G with it is the real deal breaker for many. However, within a few days, we could see BSNL's 4G network being launched in many parts of the country. Today, the plan that we are talking about can become a great value deal for customers who are living under its 4G coverage. Check out the details below.
