Public-sector BSNL customers will be able to use services at low rates through special recharges from outside their home circle starting from August 15. This facility will now be available even during roaming.
“BSNL has decided to allow voice or SMS special fee vouchers and combo vouchers on national roaming on the occasion of the 71st Independence Day of the country from August 15, 2017,” the public-sector company said in a statement. BSNL was the first company to announce free national roaming from June 15, 2015.
The company’s Director (Consumer Mobility), RK Mittal, said, “Armed forces, professionals, business people, and students will get more benefits from this plan.” So far, benefits such as unlimited SMS, free calls to select numbers, and reduced call rates were not available during roaming.
Earlier, Aircel had launched two new plans. In one plan, customers will be given 2 GB of data every day for 84 days. Additionally, unlimited calls are provided. The cost of the Aircel prepaid plan starts at Rs 419, and it has been introduced in the Northeastern states. Meanwhile, the price of this plan in Jammu and Kashmir is Rs 449. Apart from this, the telecom company has also offered a plan for Rs 229, but it is not as beneficial.
