It’s been a well-established fact in the industry that the best-priced plans and the latest offers have been in the reach of prepaid users while the postpaid users have been the ones overpaying for services for quite some time now. However, in the last few months, the situation has changed drastically and now telcos are shipping more and more offers and aptly priced postpaid plans for their subscribers to keep their existing subscribers intact and also to lure in new subscribers. Gone are the days when postpaid plans used to be limited to high paying customers, now the postpaid plans are competing with many prepaid plans and a lot of them come with very attractive offerings like data carryover and bundled Amazon Prime Membership and many more add-ons. In this race, the government-owned telco BSNL has also launched a new Rs 299 postpaid plan which competes with the Vodafone RED Basic postpaid plan of Rs 299 and Reliance Jio’s Rs 199 postpaid plan. Read ahead to know the differences between the three.

BSNL Rs 299 Postpaid Plan
The new Rs 299 postpaid plan is going to be limited only for new subscribers of BSNL. This plan will allow unlimited outgoing and roaming calls except for subscribers in Delhi and Mumbai where BSNL does not operate. Under this postpaid plan, BSNL will be shipping 31GB 2G/3G data to the users, which will come without any daily limit. If the users exhaust their data limit, the speed will be throttled down to 80 Kbps; this means that BSNL will be providing genuinely unlimited data with an initial FUP in this plan. However, the only area where the BSNL plan loses is the data carryover facility, which means that if your data is left unused, then it will lapse at the end of the month.
