BSNL allows unlimited Free calls during night from Landline from May 1

State owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited would give away unlimited free calls to its landline subscribers during night time (9PM-7AM). The scheme would start from May 1 and would be initially applicable for next 6 months, after which it would be renewed.

This scheme aims at retaining its existing customers in the era of mobile revolution apart from regaining the lost customer segments.

“We hope to resurrect our fixed-line business and we hope that it will attract customers back to fixed-line. There will be some impact on revenues, but with only 10% calls made at night, it may go up to 15% with the offer. However, if we are able to add more customers, then, it is worth the attempt”, Anupam Shrivastava, CMD of BSNL said.

The Telecom giant is also offering 2 plans to new customers. Plan 350 which allows BSNL landline to BSNL Landline FREE all over India for Rs 350/month, while Plan 500 allows BSNL landline to BSNL Landline/BSNL Mobile FREE all over India for Rs. 500 month.
