BSNL Takes On Reliance Jio Prime With 2GB Data Per Day At Rs. 339

After Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and others, BSNL has now come up with a combo package to counter the Relaince Jio wave. Priced at Rs. 339, the monthly voucher includes 56 GB of high speed data to be consumed at the rate of 2GB per day, unlimited BSNL to BSNL calls, 25 minutes BSNL to other calls, etc. Apparently, the offer seems to be restricted to the prepaid users.

BSNL vs Reliance Jio Prime

BSNL’s latest plan directly competes with Reliance Jio Prime’s Rs. 499 pack. Both of them come with a validity of 28 days and offers 2 GB of high-speed 4G internet per day. However, there is a notable difference between them. With Reliance Jio you will get unlimited free calls to any network across India. On the other hand, BSNL’s Rs. 339 pack includes unlimited BSNL to BSNL calling and just 25 minutes of free call to other operators per day, after which you will be charged at 25 paisa per minute.
