BSNL changes Rs.187 recharge to rival Jio, offers unlimited free calling with 1GB data for 28 days

BSNL’s Rs.187 recharge offers free local and STD calling to its users along with 1GB of data and free caller tune for a duration of 28 days. Users should do a check before recharging as the same plan might not be available and might vary in different circles.

The state-run telecom operator BSNL has changed its recharge plan of Rs.187. Users will now get the access to unlimited local and STD voice calls in addition to 1GB of data and free caller tune for a period of 28 days. Earlier, the recharge plan only offered unlimited voice calling in the home circle of a user. It will be charged for the users as per their base plan when placing calls to Delhi and Mumbai region as BSNL doesn’t operate in those regions.

As per the recent reports, BSNL’s Rs.187 recharge is a limited time promotional plan which will be available for 90 days only. It is said that the plan is working for Tamil Nadu BSNL users and could also be accessible for users in other circles also, but users should do a preliminary check before recharging.

Apart from BSNL, Airtel and Vodafone have also come up with prepaid plans priced at Rs.198 and Rs.199 respectively. As far as Airtel recharge plan goes, it is exclusively available for their prepaid customers in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana circle and offers daily 1GB of 4G/3G data with a validity of 28 days.  Whereas Vodafone’s Rs.199 recharge offers unlimited calling limited at 250 minutes per day and 1000 minutes every week along with 1GB of 4G/3G data with a validity of 28 days.

The three aforesaid recharge plans by BSNL, Airtel and Vodafone compete against Reliance Jio’s Rs.149 recharge which offers 4.2GB of 4G data with unlimited calling and SMS for 28 days. The plan also provides unlimited access to Jio’s suite of apps like JioTV, Jio News and more.

Reliance Jio recently launched a triple cash back offer exclusively for their Prime subscribers and has extended the validity of the offer for some more time. Jio Prime users will get 100% cash back on recharging their Jio connection with plans of Rs.399 or more and will also get triple cash back benefits of up to Rs.2,599 in the form of instant cash back and discount vouchers.
