BSNL launches 2 new Prepaid Plans ahead of bringing 5G by 2023!

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has once again launched 2 new prepaid plans for its users priced at Rs.269 and Rs.769. In August 2022, the telecom company also launched an Rs.2022 prepaid plan with “unlimited” data benefits. While these new prepaid plans certainly do not offer such “unlimited” benefits, they can be good for those looking for rounded validities such as 30 days or 90 days.

The STV 269 and STV 769, two new prepaid plans of BSNL offer mostly the same features and benefits. However, the only major difference is in their plan validity period. The new Rs.269 BSNL Prepaid Plan offers 30-days validity while the Rs.769 prepaid plan offers 90 days validity.

Both plans allow you to keep caller tunes of your choice without limitations

• Data: 2GB daily data (speed reduced to 40Kbps after extending limit)

• Plan Validity: valid for 30 days

• Voice Calling: Unlimited voice calling facility

• SMS limit: 100 SMS per day benefit

• EROS Now Entertainment Service & more

• Data: 2GB daily data (speed reduced to 40Kbps after extending limit)

• Plan Validity: valid for 90 days

• Voice Calling: Unlimited voice calling facility

• SMS limit: 100 SMS per day benefit

• EROS Now Entertainment Service & more

So these were the two new prepaid plans recently launched by BSNL. These plans are live on the BSNL website as well in their “voice vouchers” offers.

BSNL was also in talks to launch its 4G services “soon.” Finally, the Chairman and Managing Director of BSNL, Mr.Purwar said, “The first rollout (of planned BSNL 4G network) should take place in November this year, 2022”

When asked about BSNL’s plans on launching its 5G service, Mr.Purwar said, “The minister has given us a clear path that August 15, 2023, should be the date when BSNL should be in the 5G domain. We are working in the direction which we have received. We should be able to meet it (the target timeline).”

With the advent of Jio and the high-speed service of Airtel, a lot of consumers have stopped using the age-old telecom operator, BSNL. While its other competitors such as Airtel, and Jio have already launched their 5G networks, BSNL is still planning to launch its 4G network by November this year in 2022. Nevertheless, the prepaid plans by BSNL are still considerable and can be cheaper alternatives in some cases.
