The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has slapped significant fines amounting to crores of rupees on major telecom operators, including Airtel, BSNL, Jio, and Vi. These penalties were imposed due to their inability to completely eliminate spam calls.
Currently, only Jio and Airtel offer eSIM facilities in India. Many users cannot use BSNL, as many premium smartphones only support eSIM, but this is going to change soon.
This Jio plan can pull the BSNL users, who have recently ported their number to the government-owned service provider. The company has offered a new recharge plan which is valid for 200 days and offers 500GB data in total, along with other value-added services.
BSNL’s 4G expansion in Bihar is a significant step toward digital inclusion, connecting remote villages and offering affordable telecom services. With the addition of new towers, the users will experience high-speed internet and seamless network coverage at competitive prices.
Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia announced the timeline for BSNL's indigenous 5G network rollout. With its 5G network in place, BSNL will become the fourth telecom operator to offer 5G in India.
7th Pay Commission: For the greater benefit of government employees, the Centre has increased the maximum gratuity limit from Rs 20 lakh to Rs 25 lakh for employees of BSNL and MTNL who opted for a pension under the combined service framework.
A large number of users from these two telecom companies have shifted to BSNL. In response, Jio and Airtel have created new plans to attract their former customers back.
BSNL has accelerated its 4G network expansion, targeting 100,000 4G sites by mid-2025. The state-owned telco has recently added more than 10,000 4G sites to its network.
In 2024, BSNL got its once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for revival. The company took advantage of this situation and added 5.5 million new subscribers in 4 months. It also rolled out many new services for its further expansion.
BSNL has announced its Winter Bonanza offer for users. Broadband users will receive internet service for a full 6 months. BSNL shared this information through its X account.
TRAI is set to implement a rule for OTP message traceability for telecom operators. This initiative will greatly assist millions of mobile users who are troubled by spam and fake messages.
BSNL is continuously raising the competition against Jio, Airtel, and Vi with its affordable recharge plans. The new BSNL recharge plan offers 395 days of validity and costs Rs 1500 less than similar plans offered by Jio and Airtel.
BSNL gained over 5 million subscribers following the tariff hikes by Jio, Airtel, and Vi. However, this growth has slowed, and some subscribers are considering returning to Jio and Airtel due to quality issues.
BSNL has launched an attractive new plan for its users, providing 3600GB of internet data over a span of 3 months with a speed of 25 Mbps.
The government has requested telecom companies to allow users to access any available network until December 6 for seamless connectivity.
In the past four months, BSNL has gained hundreds of thousands of new mobile users. Most of these users are MNP (Mobile Number Portability) customers who have switched their numbers from other operators to BSNL.
BSNL has partnered with Skypro to offer an extensive range of channels, OTT, and various other value-added services through its state-of-the-art IPTV platform. This service is available free of cost to BSNL's FTTH customers.
Scammers usually sit in foreign countries to commit digital crime and avoid prosecution by Indian authorities. The government has warned users to be cautious while attending such calls.
TRAI has once again extended the deadline for implementing message traceability rules. The telecom regulator has granted telecom operators, specifically access service providers, a few more days to complete compliance.
BSNL has many amazing plans which are available for less than Rs 100 in which you will get up to 30 days validity and more internet services. These plans could be a life saver when the budget is constrained.
