Government telecom company BSNL has introduced a special prepaid plan priced at ₹1499, valid for 336 days.
This plan offers unlimited voice calls, 100 free SMS per day, and a total of 24GB data for the entire duration.
It is designed mainly for users who focus on calling and messaging rather than heavy internet usage.
Affordable Daily Connectivity
The biggest highlight of this plan is its low daily cost. Dividing ₹1499 over 336 days means you get unlimited calls and SMS for less than ₹5 per day.
While there’s no daily data cap, the total data is fixed at 24GB, so heavy internet users might need to purchase extra data packs.
Key Features of the ₹1499 Plan:
Unlimited voice calling (local and national)
Free national roaming
100 free SMS per day
24GB total data (entire validity)
336 days validity
BSNL Strengthening Its Network
BSNL is working to improve network quality. Recently, the company installed 1 lakh new 4G/5G towers
and plans to add the same number soon. This expansion aims to reduce call drops, slow speeds, and weak coverage.
Competition in the Telecom Market
While private companies like Jio, Airtel, and Vi are offering shorter-validity plans at higher prices, BSNL’s ₹1499 plan stands out with its long validity and budget-friendly cost.
For customers who want to stay connected without frequent recharges, this is a strong option.
Jio’s ₹1958 Annual Plan
If you prefer Jio, the company offers a ₹1958 plan with 365 days validity, unlimited calling, 3600 free SMS, and access to Jio apps — ensuring entertainment even without extra data.
However, Jio has recently discontinued two old plans:
₹479 plan (6GB data, 84 days validity)
₹1899 plan (24GB data, 336 days validity)
