BSNL, which operates across the country except these two cities – Delhi and Mumbai, has over 98 million mobile subscribers and 16 million landline users.

New Delhi: State-owned telecom firm BSNL last week launched unlimited calling and a data plan for Rs 97 a month for the customers of Micromax’s 4G VoLTE enabled Bharat phone.

The price of the phone is Rs 2,200 and the handset will support 3G connection as well. Also, the phone is dual sim.

“This is step to expand digital India mission,” he further added.

“We are proud that we are joining hands with Micromax, a home grown player on the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras. Masses in rural areas that are not connected with themselves will be connected at very affordable rate,” BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava said, while making the agreement with Micromax public.
