BSNL (Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited) has already made its first move for 2018. The telecom operator has revised the free night calling timings for its broadband plans, which will be effective from January 1, 2018. Currently, BSNL is offering free night calling from 9 PM to 7 AM with its broadband plans, and starting tomorrow, the free night voice calling will be applicable between 10:30 PM to 6 AM. BSNL has officially released a statement on the same.
The revision of free night calling will be applicable on the Pan-India basis for all the BSNL landline, Broadband, Combo, and FTTH customers. On Sundays, BSNL is offering free voice calling during the entire day. However, the company has confirmed that it' stopping free voice calling on Sundays in Himachal Pradesh Telecom Circle for both the new and existing customers.
This move will come as a blow to all the BSNL broadband subscribers who're actively using free night voice calling. Also, BSNL did not reveal the reason behind this revision. BSNL's unlimited broadband plans start at Rs 499 and do make a note that not all broadband plans offer landline voice calls.
