Get BSNL SIM cards delivered to your doorstep

BSNL SIM cards can now be delivered to your doorstep using the Prune app or website. This comes soon after the company announced its cheaper data plans last month. With BSNL SIMs now getting easily delivered, it appears to compete with giants like Jio and Airtel. For the unversed, both the telecom giants offer delivery of their SIM cards. However, while Prune does deliver Jio and Airtel SIMs through their website or app, both telcos have their own SIM delivery system, which means you can get them by ordering them from their respective app. That’s not the case with BSNL, you have to rely only on the third-party site.
