Major telecom operators in India such as Airtel, Jio, and Vi recently hiked their recharge plans by 15 percent on average. Due to this, several subscribers are switching to BSNL which offers affordable recharge plans. To attract more subscribers, the company is also rapidly rolling out its 4G services in the country and is gearing up to launch its 5G services next year. The state-owned company has also started delivering 4G and 5 G-ready SIM cards to its users.
Interested subscribers can get BSNL SIM from the market, BSNL office, or through home delivery. The company has reached a noteworthy milestone in Andhra Pradesh by adding 2.17 lakh new connections in July 2024. This increase in new activations will bring the total number of BSNL connections in the state to 40 lakh. BSNL users can activate their new SIM by themselves.
