BSNL 3G plans

Having practically tested in most areas of chennai, I found the 3G service by BSNL is really good. Only Unlimited plan is costlier(of course this is BASMATHI Rice)and the other plans are very reasonable.The best plan for most would be the one 
coming at Rs.549/-p.m (Rs.606/- incl. S.Tax). This Plans has 1 Gb Free flow all time and 5 Gb during nights.
The appreciable part of this is the night hours are between 2300hrs and 0700hrs unlike their Broadband schemes night hrs starting  at 0200hrs. 
           The biggest problem with their Services is _ Getting the Call Centre in line. If at all you reach them 
you will not get any necessary information and sometimes wrong informations.However I am going to manage publishing maximum updated information not only from BSNL and others too. 
            The next problem in that the changes in the plans (though mostly reduce and you wont be able to recharge your BSNL prepaid account as you did last month). The denomination of the Recharge would change with insufficient information. They pulled down the plan to 999/- from 1099/-. The problem in this is that we will not know the correct denomination (i.e with tax - in this case it is now Rs.1102/-)
             Similarly the following plans have been withdrawn and no longer available-no information from anybody even from their Customer Service(!!) Centres. Plans 899(5Gb), 1699(10+15Gb) and 1999(15Gb+ night unlimited) have been dropped!!. 
             Will update with all their 3G plans with tax amount and interesting 2G plans shortly.

  1. Really interesting!!! especially those about the recharge story from the retailers!!! I had a very poor experience as I was out of station after purchasing a prepaid connection after a months time. Suffered a lot to recharge my account.It would have been very useful if I had seen this blog earlier!!!the blogger must also write about the Datacard models available. My friend has purchased a single band Datacard and suffering verymuch on roaming!! Later came to know single band data card works only when 3G signal is available. Pls write in detail about this...
    However good job!(so far)
