Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has been low-key, introducing some really great prepaid plans in India. The state-run telco is considered inferior to the private operators, including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Jio, and Vodafone Idea (Vi), because it doesn’t have an existing PAN-India 4G network. Regardless of that, there are some 3G/4G prepaid plans from BSNL that users around the country can’t ignore. One such plan is the Rs 997 plan.... Read More
