1) Unlimited Voice Calls

As we reported earlier regarding this scheme from BSNL, it offers true unlimited voice calling to any network in the country, which is insane. Unlike Reliance Jio, BSNL doesn’t use VoLTE to make calls, which is a significant advantage. And, there won’t be any call drop related issues with BSNL like Jio.

2) It’s a Combo Plan

Last week, we wrote an article saying that combo plans will be the future of Indian telecom. And, the first step towards this will be made by BSNL itself. Yes, the upcoming BSNL Rs. 149 pack will include a certain amount of data as well.

3) 300MB of 3G Data
