In recent news, Airtel raised prices for two prepaid plans, and BSNL also updated one of its plans by reducing the validity of the Rs 99 plan.
This change indirectly makes the plan more expensive for users. The company has decreased the validity of the plan while maintaining the same price, resulting in a higher daily cost for users.
This isn’t the first time such a change has occurred. BSNL has reduced the validity of several plans as a strategy to increase tariffs, while keeping the prices unchanged.
This might go unnoticed by customers since the rates remain the same. Let’s delve into the details of what the Rs 99 plan offers.
Let’s talk about what you get with the Rs 99 plan from BSNL
BSNL’s Rs 99 plan has been updated to have a validity of 17 days instead of the previous 18 days.
While this change isn’t significant, it does raise the daily cost of the plan from Rs 5.5 to Rs 5.82.
This plan, priced at Rs 99, is a Special Tariff Voucher (STV) that doesn’t include any data benefits.
It provides unlimited voice calling for 17 days, but there are no additional perks with this plan.
If you plan to use data along with this plan, you can recharge with BSNL’s data voucher.
This strategy can help BSNL slightly raise the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU) and enhance returns from their wireless mobile network services.
BSNL ends unlimited night data offer
BSNL has recently removed the unlimited night data offer from its Rs 599 plan.
This change is meant to encourage customers to purchase additional data vouchers, thereby increasing the Average Revenue Per User (ARPU).
