BSNL launches Rs 249 first recharge coupon with 2GB daily data

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has just launched a new first recharge coupon (FRC) of Rs 249. It is a new voucher which is available for users for a limited period only. The BSNL Rs 249 FRC offers users 2GB daily data along with unlimited voice calling and 100 SMS/day. Its validity is 60 days which is a substantial period given the benefits and the plan’s price. The plan is giving 1GB extra every day, which is included in the benefit of 2GB daily data. Do note that the voucher is only available until March 31, 2021.

The FRC can only be applied by new BSNL users who are recharging their phones with currency for the first time. BSNL has also announced that any existing recharge denomination of Rs 249 will be shifted to a nearby vacant denomination at the earliest.

BSNL Rs 249 FRC: To start with the prepaid coupon offers users 2GB daily data with a validity of 60 days. The coupon will also bring unlimited calling and 100 SMS per day. However, the offer is promotional and will only be valid till March 31, 2021. The development was first noted by Kerala Telecom.

Last week, BSNL rolled out an FRC priced at Rs 47 with 28 days validity and 14GB data. BSNL noted that the other terms and conditions are as per the premium per minute plan PV 107 which means that the FRC 47 offers an initial plan validity of 100 days, after which customers will have to perform another recharge to keep their BSNL SIM card active.
