Free Voice Calls

Free Voice Calls

This is a big call for BSNL. Reliance Jio and BSNL are quite different from each other as the latter is completely 4G ready, but BSNL still needs to adapt their 4G services in several cities in India.

Jio uses VoLTE for free voice calls, but as of now, there is no information on how BSNL offers the service to their customers.

No Mess Up with VoLTE

As quoted earlier, Reliance Jio offers voice calls with VoLTE, but that thing isn't going to happen with BSNL. Instead, the company will offer the regular voice calls, which is insane.

This is the best thing. If BSNL ever offers the free voice calls with data plans, they will surely offer it to 2G and 3G users as well, because the company can't upgrade their infrastructure to support VoLTE right away.

For Broadband Users as well!

BSNL director, Shrivastava, believes that majority of users will be spending their time at home, most of the time. So, this offer will also be for broadband users.

Starts from Rs. 2-4
