BSNL plans free voice including cheaper package than Reliance Jio

Author yuvamind

NEW DELHI: BSNL ' s top official on Wednesday said, State-run BSNL will be the first to cut tariffs to better Reliance Jio ' s offer, setting the stage for a price war in the country ' s crowded mobile telecom market.
The BSNL telecom is planning to follow Jio in offering free voice calling including cheaper package than Jio on its network. And unlike Jio ' s offer that is available for only 4G subscribers, the BSNL plan will be open to 2G and 3G users, which constitute the majority of mobile customers. Although, BSNL has a strong market penetration and significant share in many important markets such as Kerala, Himachal Pradesh, Haryana, Odisha, Punjab and UP , will announce the zero-voice-tariff plans from January and these would be lower than the Rs 149 entry price of Jio. The loss-making PSU is, however, absent in key markets such as Mumbai and Delhi. Managing director Shrivastava said that the plan will be offered to BSNL ' s mobile customers who also have a broadband connection at home. "The idea is to use the home broadband to route outgoing mobile calls through the landline network. We estimate that a large amount of time is spent at home, and so here we can ride on our wire-line operations," he said.
