Customers of State-run BSNL will be able to make free unlimited calls on every Sunday.
“BSNL...customers will be able to make unlimited free voice calling from
a BSNL landline to any network mobile and landline in the country on
August 15, and thereafter every Sunday,” Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha
said in a statement.
At present, it offers unlimited night calling on any network in the
country between 9 pm to 7 am as complimentary service for all its
customers.
BSNL commands around 57 per cent market share with 14.35 million customers.
“This service will be available for all BSNL landline customers besides
existing free calling scheme during night. For new customers we are now
providing fixed line connection for monthly rental starting Rs. 49 for
first six months, and after that, a consumer can shift to any plan. The
lowest monthly rental is Rs. 99,” BSNL CMD Anupam Shrivastava said.
The free calling service is available for all BSNL customers without any extra charge.
“These new schemes will let people experience modern facilities that are
now available on BSNL landline network, like call forward to mobile
phones, etc.,” Mr. Shrivastava said.
The scheme is aimed at encouraging people to use landlines when they are
at home and save on mobile phone bills, a BSNL official said.
“The fixed line phones will be instrumental in proliferation of good
quality broadband service which is an essential element of Digital
India. BSNL free calling scheme will pave the way for expansion of
broadband services in the country as well through fixed line
connection,” the official said.
