There was a time when Reliance Jio called the shots when it came to providing heavy data at cheap rates for recharge packs. Tables have been turned now, and this time it is state-owned BSNL that has become a game-changer. It would not be wrong to say that compared to other telcos like Bharti Airtel, Idea Cellular and Vodafone, BSNL has managed to unveil a recharge pack that goes neck-to-neck against the Mukesh Ambani led company. In fact, it is quite surprising to see how BSNL can go the extra mile when it comes to luring customers. However, it must be noted that, when compared to Reliance Jio, BSNL at the moment does not have the privilege to grant 4GB network services to its subscribers. But the offers that BSNL is bringing in its prepaid recharge packs, are both exciting and massive.

In a latest development, it has been revealed that BSNL is going to make the most of the upcoming Durga Puja, Dussehra and Diwali festivals. The company has now unveiled a new recharge pack at the rate of Rs 78 prepaid STV for a validity of 10 days period. This offer is now valid from October 15, 2018.

With the new plan, according to TelecomTalk report, BSNL offers unlimited voice calls without any FUP limit to any network within India. Notably, BSNL is offering voice calls even to the numbers located in Mumbai and Delhi circles. Furthermore, BSNL is touting unlimited video calling option with this prepaid plan which can be activated by sending an SMS to 123 as ‘STV COMBO78.’

The new recharge pack gives a massive 2GB data per day, and once exhausted the speed will reduce to 80 kpbs.

Anupam Shrivastava CMD BSNL told TelecomTalk, that on the “Occasion of Durga Puja, Dussehra and Diwali, STV-78 will suit to all and will enable them to be in touch with their family and friends during the festive season.

Thereby, a user will enjoy a massive 20GB data for 10 days.

Although, the plan introduced by BSNL is a limited offer, however, it worth noting because of the benefits the company is providing.

In comparison to RJio, the BSNL new recharge pack is far better than you can imagine.

There are even two sachet packs of RJio namely Rs 19 and Rs 52.

RJio's Rs 19 pack is available for 1 day offering only 0.15GB data, while the Rs 52 pack gives a total 1.05GB data for just 7 days. Both the packs have complimentary Jio App subscriptions and unlimited callings, however, the Rs 19 pack only gives 20 SMS and the Rs 57 gives 70SMS for the period.

BSNL had also recently launched recharge pack with Rs 186 offering 3.2GB data daily.

RJio on the other hand, has two recharge packs namely Rs 149 and Rs 198, where it is giving up to 1.4GB data per day and 2GB data per day respectively.

Not only this, the BSNL’s bumper offer is only available to selective recharge packs apart from Rs 186 recharge pack. Other recharge plans that also have additional 2.2GB data are - Rs 429, Rs 485, Rs 666 and Rs 999.
