Yet, the fight isn’t over. Reliance Jio has surely changed everything in the Indian Telecom Industry with its wonderful offers and disruptive data plans at very cheap rates. All the remaining network providers were in a situation that they can’t do anything except offering exciting offers to their users more than Jio is giving. Yes, it’s true. Jio has forced other telecom giants to slash prices of their tariff and data plans.
India’s one of the biggest network providers BSNL seems to be doing no different. On Friday, BSNL has announced the three new plans to go against the likes of Reliance Jio.
- BSNL new plan is named as the ‘Triple Ace Plan’ fall in the price bracket of Rs 333 to Rs 395, offering its users 3GB data per day alongside free unlimited calls.
This offer is a revised plan of the STV-339 prepaid plan which offered 2GB previously. The speeds, however, are limited to 3G, compared to the 4G speed offered by the rival telecoms. The below new plans are the latest in the line of offers that the likes of BSNL, Airtel, Idea, and Vodafone have announced ever since Reliance Jio made its disruptive entry into the telecom market.
Offer-1:
Users who opt for 333 pack will get 3G data up to 3GB per day with a validity of 90 days. It means users can avail 270GB of data at just Rs. 333 or Rs. 1.23 per GB.
Offer-2:
BSNL has also launched ‘Dil Khol Ke Bol’ plan priced at Rs 349 plan will provide BSNL subscribers with unlimited local and STD calling and 2GB 3G data per day.
This plan will take on Reliance Jio’s ‘Dhan Dhana Dhan Offer’, where customers get unlimited voice calling benefits and SMS across India, free national roaming, and 1GB 4G data per day for 84 days at Rs. 309.
Offer-3:
In the third plan, ‘Nehle pe Dehla’, BSNL is offering 3,000 minutes of calls on BSNL network and 1,800 minutes of calling to other networks along with 2GB daily data at a 3G speed at Rs. 395. The plan has a validity of 71 days.
To raise the pressure on competitors, BSNL has also revised daily data usage limit in its Rs.339 plan to 3GB from 2GB offered earlier. The plan also offers unlimited voice calls within the BSNL network. Once a user exhausts 3GB of data, the speed will get reduced to 80 kbps for the rest of the day.
Reliance Jio’s Dhan Dhana Dhan plan is exclusively for Prime members, which means only users who had signed up for Jio Prime membership can recharge with these plans. Whereas BSNL STV plans, on the other hand, are available to all of its prepaid users that could likely give it an edge over Jio.
