BSNL MAKES PAN INDIA LOCAL FOR ITS FIXED LINE CUSTOMERS

From BSNL
New Delhi, 30th Nov 2010
STD Pulse is now 180 sec (same as local) anywhere in India

As part of its endeavor to provide affordable telecom services to
customers, BSNL, the dominant fixed line operator of the country, has slashed
STD Call charges from its Fixed Line phones to any Fixed Line phone of any
network to Local Call rates w.e.f. 1st December 2010.  Calls from BSNL Fixed
Line (Landline as well as WLL) to any Fixed Line phone (BSNL’s as well as other
networks having less than 10 digit numbers) throughout India will have same
charges with three minute pulse rate. Consequently the customers will now be
able to talk for three minutes in one call unit charge, which varies from 80
paise to Rs 1.20 depending upon the tariff plan.
With distinctive clear voice, no call drops and uninterrupted speech,
landline customers can now make long conversations across India without
paying any extra STD charges.
This facility will be automatically available to all the Fixed Line
Customers of all tariff plans. The customers already availing dynamic locking
facility will continue to avail the same and can bar STD (Level 0) calls, if they
so desire. The revised call charges will, however, not be applicable to PCO’s and
for calls to special services (i.e. Level-1 services). With this long distance calls
from BSNL Fixed Line to any Fixed Line Customers have now become cheaper
than that of mobile.
