BSNL announces new prepaid vouchers: Rs 249 will get you 28 GB data and Rs 429 to get you 90 GB data
BSNL became the latest operator to offer special vouchers worth Rs 249 and Rs 429 to lure users as we approach the festival season.

BSNL has come out with a new data plan to woo prepaid customers. The new plans are a result of the intensive telecom price wars that we have been seeing off late. The customer is definitely reaping the benefits as it gives one access to large data bandwidths as compared to say a couple of years ago. These offers are also in line with the approaching festive season.[caption id="attachment_4024059" align="alignleft" width="380"]
