BSNL Recharge Plans: If you’re looking to cut costs on your recharge plans, BSNL has an affordable option that might just be what you need. The government-run telecom provider offers a range of budget-friendly plans, and one in particular is catching attention for its unlimited calling feature at an incredibly low price. This could give tough competition to giants like Jio and Airtel.
The Rs 99 Plan – Perfect for Budget-Conscious Users
BSNL's Rs 99 plan comes with a 17-day validity, and while it doesn't offer data or SMS, it includes unlimited calling within the validity period. It’s an excellent choice if you use your BSNL number primarily for calls and want to keep costs minimal. This is especially useful for people who use BSNL as a secondary SIM, as it ensures your number stays active without breaking the bank.

Why BSNL's Plan Is Giving Airtel and Jio a Run for Their Money
When compared to Airtel and Jio, BSNL’s pricing stands out. Both Jio and Airtel offer plans that are more expensive if you only want to keep your SIM active. In contrast, BSNL’s Rs 99 plan makes it much more affordable for those who don’t need a full feature set and just want to keep the calling active.
Other BSNL and Jio Options
BSNL’s Rs 215 Plan: For Rs 215, BSNL offers a 30-day validity with unlimited voice calls, unlimited data (after 2GB of high-speed data), 100 SMS per day, and access to services like Hardy Games, Gameon, Astrotell, Gameium, Lystn Podcasts, Zing Music, WOW Entertainment, and BSNL Tune. It's a solid choice for those who want more than just calls at a reasonable price.
Jio’s Rs 189 Plan: Jio’s Rs 189 plan, valid for 28 days, includes 2GB of high-speed data, unlimited voice calls, and 300 SMS. It also gives you access to JioCinema, JioTV, and JioCloud subscriptions. Once the data limit is reached, speeds drop to 64Kbps. This is one of Jio’s most affordable plans, but for those looking for slightly more, there’s the Rs 199 plan, which gives 1.5GB of data daily, 100 SMS, and lasts for 18 days.
While BSNL’s plans provide a lot of value for users who prioritize calling and affordability, both Jio and Airtel still offer a broader range of data and entertainment services. However, for users just looking to keep their SIM active without spending too much, BSNL’s low-cost options could be a game changer.
