To make most of the festive season, BSNL had launched two new annual recharge packs - Rs 1,699 and Rs 2,099. BSNL's Rs 1,699 pack competes directly with RJio, which also has a similar pack. This offer of state-owned telecom service provider was expected to end by November 14, however, now customers can enjoy a similar plan up till January 2019. 

BSNL's Rs 1,699 plan gives massive 2GB data per day for a period of 365 days. This means you enjoy 730GB for a year. Once the FUP limit is over, a user will only get to access the data at a speed of 80 kbps. 

Under this plan, customers are also given unlimited local, STD and national roaming calling facility. One will also enjoy 100 SMS daily.

Coming to Rs 2,099 plan, it offers 4GB data per day for 365 days. With this, a customer gets a whopping 1,460GB data for a year. Remaining all other facilities are similar like the Rs 1,699 plan of BSNL.

With the new additional 2.2GB offer on these bumper packs, now BSNL customer will enjoy reportedly 4.21GB/day data with the STV-1699, and 6.21GB/day with the STV-2099 recharge.
