State-run telecom operator BSNL is recently hitting the headlines as it is coming up with new plans and making a slew of revisions to its existing plans. After the Rs. 786 Ramzan special tariff plan, the telco has come up with the Rs. 1,999 tariff plan. This plan is applicable only for select prepaid subscribers.

This BSNL plan is aimed to take over the Reliance Jio's long-term plan priced at Rs. 1,999. The Jio plan offers 125GB data for a validity of 180 days. The plan is bundled with 100 SMS per day, unlimited voice calls without any FUP and free subscription to the Jio suite of applications.
