The telecom sector in India is growing rapidly, offering several recharge plans at a competitive price. Companies like Vodafone-Idea, BSNL, Airtel, and more are coming up with various prepaid and postpaid plans to secure their top positions. In this regard, BSNL is one of the top telecom companies who is long been known for offering affordable and feature-packed prepaid plans to its customers. The company has a variety of options in its portfolio for users who are looking for affordable plans.
One of the standout prepaid plans in BSNL’s portfolio is priced under Rs 500, offering multiple benefits.
If you are looking for recharge plans with long-term validity and connectivity, then BSNL’s Rs 485 is one of the best options to consider. The plan provides 80 days of validity with a single recharge. The validity of this plan makes it ideal for consumers who are interested in uninterrupted services for a longer period.
This plan offers unlimited voice calling to any network across India. This ensures that you are connected with your friends, family, and loved ones without worrying about call charges. In addition, you will also get 2GB of daily data, sufficient for browsing, streaming, and posting on social media.
On top of that, subscribers get 100 SMS per day, allowing seamless text communication.
BSNL’s Rs 485 plan is competitive upon comparison with the plans of the private telecom providers. Although there are companies that offer plans valid for 84 days, they can be between Rs 500 and Rs 600 and can have some slight variations in the benefits. The service being offered by BSNL is still below 500 rupees but still contains unlimited calls, a daily data limit, and SMS, which is an effective service to use by the user with a limited budget.
