BSNL, MTNL Launch OneIndia Plan

BSNL, MTNL Launch OneIndia Plan

Techtree News Staff, Feb 10, 2006 1443 hrs IST

BSNL and MTNL have finally launched the OneIndia Plan that will come into effect from the first of March.

The OneIndia Plan slated to be launched by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL) on Republic Day 2006 has finally been launched and will come into effect from the first of March.

This move is with a view to connecting the country at an affordable tariff, and the new plan will enable customers of BSNL and MTNL to call from a landline or a mobile phone to any where in the country for one rupee a minute.

For its post-paid mobile services, BSNL has proposed a rental of Rs 299. Calls to other BSNL subscribers will be at the rate of 40 paise a minute, while calls to any other network across the country will cost one rupee a minute.

Pre-paid subscribers on the other hand are being offered a package of Rs 799, which will include a talk time of Rs 550 for a validity period of 30 days. Under the package, calls made to BSNL subscribers will cost 60 paise a minute while calls made to other networks will be at the rate of one rupee a minute.

Local calls to landlines under this plan will now be at one rupee for three minutes, while STD calls to phones across the country and across the network will cost one rupee.

dear brajesh first of let me tell u that the 123 service of bsnl is not in any way related to the india one plan. yes there might be a service lapse , but it is with mobile operators also. it is on the recomendation of ministry of communication that bsnl and mtnl are forced to implement this plan. u know bsnl/mtnl are going to make huge loss just to give this plan. why can not people see that they are now having so much flexibility. more over it is a choice nor mandatory to move to this plan ,if u wish u can remain in that general plan. in other words just think of it as another plan which u may or may not choose depending on ur requirement if u have any doubt than u can mail me anurag

No.You cant.As it is strictly mentioned in the add in BSNL site, that you can recharge with coupon more than 880Rs or top up cards.(Once you have opted for ONEINDIA plan).Its ridiculous. If you make less call a month & you have balance, still you have to recharge with 880Rs recharge coupon inorder to stay alive.

I'm agree with you that now services are more cheaper than earlier and these are beneficial for every person, but there should be some consistency and reliability while providing services.

BSNL increased the rent to Rs.299/. This is unaffordable to middle class & low class people. In this case people will think of avoiding a rental phone because at every corner there is there are telephone booths. One India plan is a very good

by elsa, Cochin, on Feb 24, 2006 10:23 AM, Report abuse   Reply

The plan is good but the rent is what kills the plan. Now in postpaid If a person were to to only 300 calls(STD) per Month. Then his bill will come 599 permonth. So for 300 call he paying 599 total which means he actually calling at the rate of 599/300 = 1.99 paise per call. Only if he make around 1000 calls (STD) he will benifit but still he call charges will be 1.3paise. in postpaid also it is the same story. Nobody gives you anything less that 1.25 on std except for the reliance FWP which is 1500 rent 1575 calls per month and .90 paise for any call.

hi One India service is benificial for high end user who call more but for low end user it is a loss. for people having Plan 100 it means hike in Rs. 199 in rental only.BSNL should do a bit for low end user .

First of all, we should bear in mind that everything may not be applicable to everybody. this is also like this. It is for those affluent higherend subscribers and not for the middle class. For people in the lower strata BSNL already introduced Excel-Ananth. You have options to be in the existing scheme. To switch over to "One India" plan is not compulsory. Then why all these flutters? Of course we, Indians, want Govt. to do everything for us but most of us are evading payments to Govt. (like tax etc.)

This plan is really good . Guys take it positively. Dont hate BSNL. Internally they are trying their best but some delays are accouring. I am sure After few days U will get a landline connection , Broadband and cable TV throgh a ONE cable. May be copper or Fiber. Lets wait . And this is just a start. You all will have video conferencing at Rs. 5/Minute soon. Cheers!!

Presently I am using prepaid 550 card which gives me talkyime of Rs 440 for 45 days. Normally I spend Rs 300-350 in 45 days and remaining amount is C/F. Now I have a balance of Rs 1200 and above. In this new scheme I have to spend Rs 799 ( aprox Rs800) with a talk time of Rs 550 for 30 days validity. This scheme of no use to us who spends about Rs 300- 350 per month even though the cost per call is less. You must spend Rs 550 per month to get the benifit of this new scheme. This scheme is for high end users. Mungerilal ke hasin sapne.....

IF IT AT ALL THE GOVT REALLY WANTED IT TO BE LIKE THE WAY IT IS PRETENDING TO BE , THEY SHOULD NOT HAVE INCREASED THE RENT FROM 180 TO 299 . IT5 SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOR ALL BY DEFAULT

WOW, Excellent move and just right cost for the post paid users. Really Excellent, another first from India , I guess. First was the incomming calls free on all mobiles. Even devoloped nations like USA & SINGAPORE charge their customers for mobile incomming. YAY INDIA

They should increase the validaty to 3 months or something. 800/month is too much for prepaid users. When is it going to come for MTNL but?

The plan looks good, maybe not great. Not everyone can afford to pay up 299 per month, especially in the rural areas. The important thing to be noted is that this plan is not available for business like in PCO and STD booths. That is one really sad thing. If that is introduced, then even common man will be able to call anywhere in the country by just walking up to the coin phone. Only then it will reach the masses, as 299 is still a bit costly for many people in India. Anyway, hats of to Dayanidhi Maran. It was his dream and he made sure that it came true. Seriously, where there is a will there is a way.
