BSNL Offers One-Month Free Service On Select Bookings. Details Here

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is offering free rental service for a month on select bookings made via social media. The BSNL offer, which is a limited-period scheme, is applicable on bookings of its landline, broadband and FTTH or fiber-to-the-home services made via Twitter and Facebook. This was said by BSNL on microblogging site Twitter: "Now you can book our services through Twitter and get 1 month free rental. Hurry, Limited period offer!" The latest offers and product revisions from BSNL come amid an ongoing price war between incumbent telecom operators triggered due to aggressive high-speed data pricing by new entrant Reliance Jio, say some analysts.

Through a special webpage, a link to which was shared by BSNL on Twitter, the state-run telecom company accepts details such the customer's social media account, service type and location in an online form to enable him or her to avail the offer. Customers are also required to provide personal details including mobile number and email address.

How to apply

Once on the page, fill in the required details. Information pertaining to state, district, service type, full name, mobile number and email is mandatory, according to the BSNL website.

After filling in the required details under both the 'lead details' and 'personal details' sections, click 'Submit'.

After a successful submission, BSNL's website displays this message: "Your request has been booked by BSNL with Pre-Lead/Reference Number: 90002xxxx. BSNL Sales Team will get back to you. Thank You."

BSNL has also revised many of its existing postpaid plans. It has raised the data benefits on the postpaid plans by thousands of gigabytes (GBs) of 3G data. In some of BSNL's revised plans, the quantum of data has been increased eight times compared to previous offerings.
