If you’ve been feeling the pinch of rising recharge prices from Jio, Airtel, or Vi, there’s good news—BSNL just dropped a budget-friendly bombshell! Their new ₹249 plan is turning heads with its value-packed features and generous 45-day validity.
Let’s break down why this might just be one of the best prepaid deals in the market right now.
What’s Inside BSNL’s ₹249 Plan?
BSNL announced the plan on its official X (Twitter) account, and it’s already getting attention for all the right reasons.
Here’s what you get:
- 45 days validity
- 2GB high-speed data per day (that’s a total of 90GB!)
- Unlimited voice calls (yes, truly unlimited)
- 100 SMS/day
- Access to BSNL BiTV OTT app with over 400 live TV channels
That’s not just a recharge plan—it’s practically an all-in-one mobile entertainment pack.

Wait, OTT Too?
Yep, BSNL’s not stopping at just calls and data.
The plan includes a free subscription to BSNL BiTV, their in-house OTT platform. You get:
- 400+ live TV channels
- Movies, shows, and more on the go
For folks who love streaming but hate paying extra, this is a solid bonus—especially for commuters or anyone who enjoys watching content during downtime.
How It Stacks Up Against Jio, Airtel, and Vi
Let’s be real—most prepaid plans from big players like Jio, Vi, and Airtel offer 28 days validity for similar pricing. BSNL is stepping in with a longer 45-day plan at the same price point, and that alone makes it a great option for budget-conscious users.
Also, private telcos rarely bundle OTT apps at this price. So, BSNL is clearly aiming to stand out by offering more for less.
Still 3G? What About 5G?
Yes, BSNL still operates mostly on 3G/4G networks in many places. In recent tests (like in Delhi), users reported speeds around 5 Mbps, which is miles behind what Jio and Airtel offer with their 5G networks.
But here’s the catch: BSNL’s 5G rollout is expected soon. Once that happens, expect:
- Better coverage
- Faster speeds
- Even more competitive pricing
Insiders suggest that BSNL’s 5G plans could push private telcos to lower their prices, shaking up the market once again.

Why This Plan Matters
This ₹249 plan isn’t just another prepaid pack—it’s BSNL’s way of reminding users it’s still in the game. With extended validity, daily data, OTT, and unlimited calls, it’s offering real value in a space dominated by costlier private players.
For anyone tired of monthly recharges and rising costs, this is a breath of fresh air.
Final Thoughts
BSNL may not have the flashiest network yet, but when it comes to value-for-money, this plan is hard to beat. If you’re someone who uses moderate data, enjoys TV on-the-go, and hates frequent recharges, BSNL’s ₹249 plan is worth a shot.
Let’s see if Jio, Vi, and Airtel step up with something better—because BSNL just raised the bar.
