BSNL slashes mobile STD rate to 50 paise/min

BSNL slashes mobile STD rate to 50 paise/min



Chennai: Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections, BSNL is ringing in good news for lakhs of phone users. Its India Golden 50 scheme will cut mobile STD or long-distance tariffs to 50 paise a minute. The scheme will be launched for pre-paid mobile services on March 1.
   Charges for the scheme will be Rs 375 plus applicable taxes with free talk value of Rs 50. In addition, customers can make local and STD calls to select BSNL numbers at 20 paise and 30 paise per minute respectively. Each SMS will be charged 50 paise.
   BSNL has also tweaked its landline plans. The hitherto 60-second pulse for a call has been doubled to 120 seconds. This effectively allows the caller to speak for twice the time at the same tariff.
   Union telecom minister A Raja said DoT would introduce mobile number portability (MNP) in major cities by August. This service will allow subscribers to migrate from one operator to another without changing their numbers. TNN
