New Delhi: BSNL landline/broadband customers can rejoice as the state-run telecom operator has decided to extend its Sunday 'free-calling' facility for another three months. Earlier, the PSU announced that that it would be withdrawing its unlimited Sunday free voice calling with its landline/broadband plans from February 1, 2018. However, the company, in a statement on Saturday said that owing to popular demand, the service will be extended for a period of three months.

The decision comes soon after the company decided to curb free night calling benefits. BSNL revised the night voice calling scheme in mid-January after which free calling is offered from 10.30 pm to 6 AM instead of 9 pm to 7 AM. The decision to limit the night calling and revoke the free-calling has heavily disappointed customers across the country.

Earlier this month, BSNL rolled out Aadhaar-based online verification of mobile connections for non-resident Indians, senior citizens above 70 years and physically challenged persons. 

The service can be used by senior citizens above 70 years as on January 1, 2018, physically challenged people and non- resident Indians (NRI) who do not have Aadhaar number or have the biometric ID but their mobile number is not registered with the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI). 

BSNL customers in the eligible category can reverify their mobile numbers through the company website where the link for the process is given by entering existing mobile number and then the one-time password sent to that number. Once the online process is complete, the entered details will be sent for verification to the local circle administration. 

The Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) announced to extend its free Sunday calling facility for its landline customers. The offer by BSNL, which allows its landline subscribers to make free calls to any other phone or operator on Sundays, was supposed to be closed from February 1, 2018. The facility will now continue till April 30, 2018.
According to the BSNL, the free Sunday calling facility was extended in view of popular demand across the country. The offer was first introduced in August 2016. Since then, the free calling service is available for all BSNL customers without any extra charge. The offer was made to encourage people to use landlines when they are at home and save on mobile phone bills, a BSNL official reportedly said.
BSNL, state-run telecom operator, is a leading broadband service provider countrywide with more than 14.35 million customers. It also has seven telecom factories with a large manpower (around 1,600) and elaborate infrastructure. The telecom factories are manufacturing several customer-end equipments and testing tools for internal consumption of BSNL.

NEW DELHI: Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) which was supposed to withdraw its free voice calling benefits from landlines on Sundays, has extended the benefits for another 3 months. The company’s CMD Anupam Shrivastava tweeted that the benefits of Free Sunday Calling have been extended for another quarter.

In a tweet Shrivastava wrote “BSNL Landline customers can continue to avail the benefits of Free Sunday Calling for another quarter.” The offer that was supposed to be withdrawn from February 1 will continue till April 30.

The company had earlier decided to discontinue free night calling benefits. BSNL had revised the night voice calling scheme in mid-January after which free calling is being offered from 10.30 pm instead of 9 pm, as per a PTI report.

The company also released a statement saying that the Sunday Free Calling facility from BSNL landline to any other phone, any other operator, which was supposed to be closed wef 1.2.2018 would continue to be free for another three months. The decision was taken after considering popular demand from all corners of this country.
