BSNL launches new plan for Rs 429

Well mobile telecom operators have been launching new plans to hook their customers. Day

 before yesterday Airtel launched a new plan & today State-owned telecom operator Bharat

 Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched a new voice and data centric plan for Rs. 429,

 which will provide unlimited voice and 1GB data per day for 90 days for prepaid mobile services.

After JIO's effect all telecom operators have been struggling to compete against JIO.

This plan will give free voice (local/STD) on any network and up to 90GB data (1GB per day) 

for 90 days on pan-India basis (except Kerala circle), a company statement said in New Delhi 

on Tuesday.

R.K.Mittal, Director (Consumer Mobility) BSNL board, said: "This voice and data centric plan 

is available for Rs. 429, that is, Rs. 143 per month which gives unlimited voice (local/STD) on

 any net and 90GB data (at 1GB per day) for 90 days, which is the most competitive plan in

 present market scenario."

Validity Time

Well BSNL offers validity of 3 months, i.e 90 days. whereas other providers are giving validity of 84 days. This offer also allows users to use 1GB per day, with unlimited calls like JIO. For Rs 429 this will be good deal but the only drawback is that BSNL has only 3G & no 4G.

Last month, BSNL launched a mobile wallet in collaboration with MobiKwik. At the time, the

 telecom operator said the wallet would enable its existing 100 million customers to make bill 

payments and transact on e-commerce platforms. As we mentioned, the wallet has been 

developed and issued by MobiKwik on behalf of BSNL.

"With this co-branded wallet, the ease of payment will be extended to all the customers while

 equally strengthening financial inclusion in the rural hinterlands, which often get neglected.

Going digital is the need of an hour for both urban and rural areas, and this partnership is

 definitely a step in right direction," said Communications Minister Manoj Sinha. The wallet

 app enables fast online recharges, bill payments, shopping and bus booking, among many

 other activities.
