BSNL Launches Five International Prepaid Roaming Plans

BSNL isn't offering 4G services in all circles, but it is very active in terms of bringing new benefits for its customers. The telecom operator has now announced the launch of international prepaid roaming services to five countries, such as France, Afghanistan, Thailand, Iceland, and Sweden.

This prepaid international roaming service is already available for BSNL users. To launch this roaming service BSNL has tied up with Bouygues, MTN, Trinet, Sweden, Iceland, Afghanistan, Thailand, Vodafone, respectively. However, there is a catch. This roaming service is available for Chennai customers.

Notably, Chennai customers who want to avail this feature are required to remove their prepaid SIM and have to collect the new SIM from the company's Common Services Centres. However, to get this service users have to activate by sending a message to STV IR57.

The tariff of the state-run telecom operator is specially designed for basic calls and data rates. The tariff calculation is based on the exchange rates. This development comes soon after BSNL removed FUP from its prepaid and postpaid plans from all 22 circles.
