BSNL minimum recharge plans ? I need to port from Airtel to BSNL

[sparkit]

This 1198 recharge is for 365 days with 300 minutes per month but For GP2 users, there is 1199 recharge which is for 336 days with unlimited calls.

What is the equivalent monthly plan?

What is the equivalent monthly plan?

Rs 107 for 35 days with 200 min and 3gb data.

 

[Hope]

Btw bsnl doesn't stop call/sms incoming so its best as a secondary sim.

I used to recharge for Rs.397 which keeps sim active for 150 days & gives freebies like 2gb/day, 100 sms/day & unlimited calls for first 30 days out of that 150 days. Now I got sms from BSNL that Rs.397 plan will no longer be available from 6th Jun'25.

Please suggest some cost effective plans.

Yes. Now I’m planning my BSNL number to port in airtel and recharging with airtel axis. That’s the only option Now I guess.

Recently I ported my JIO sim to BSNL
I've been facing OTP issues since then
sometimes the OTPs r not getting delivered and I am observing this is happening every day
So, think before u proceed further..

It's a real issue. And it's more noticeable in bsnl.
