BSNL 3G Tariffs / Plans Unleashed

on February 23, 2009 – 8:24 pm106 Comments

Well BSNL Launched 3G Services in Chennai yesterday.

Now BSNL has announced the 3G Tariffs and plans .

The good news is that it will be available both on Prepaid and PostPaid.

You have to purchase a new 3G SIM card for Rs.300 and the website says that migration from 2G to 3G would not be possible.

We are not sure if it means just getting a new SIM card or getting a new number as well. Its most likely that it would be just the SIM.

Just in case if your wondering what kinds of speeds are possible on 3G

  • http://www.fonearena.com Varun Krish

    but isn’t this for data card ?

  • Arun

    I bought 3G sim card in coimbatore, and it is working only in Gandhipuram. I guess BSNL has equipped 3G in only one tower in the entire coimbatore district. I hope by the end of 2010, 3G services will be available in the other important areas in coimbatore. When i bought the sim card, the BSNL franchise misguided me that, it will work everywhere in coimbatore city. And before buying i asked the BSNL customer care, and they told me that BSNL 3G is enabled for 30Kms from the city (Gandhipuram). To my shock, i been checking it all around coimbatore after buying, it is working only in Gandhipuram. And now when i called the customer care people, they told me to wait for some month before 3G is available in other areas. I would like request BSNL authorities to look into the problems, and make sure the franchises dont give false promises.

    As for as i have checked, it is working in Gandhipuram till Sivanandha colony. And the signal goes off in saibaba colony. And it works till railway station, and in ukkadam it comes back to 2G. I stay in Kovai pudur and there is absolutely no tower. And there is no 3G signal in anywhere in mettupalayam road.

  • Applefan

    There are no specific packages available for the iPad but the above mentioned data plans work with the iPad.But you have to cut your mini sim and make it into a micro sim(google it to find out how) as the iPad accepts only micro sim.I have my iPad 3G working with bsnl 3G.

  • PRASHANTKUMAR GAUTAM

    sir i want to for mostly use to internet pls reply me

  • rajashekar

    I purchased a 3g data card from BSNL. Although it is rated 3.6Mbps the Engineer told me that it could operate only at 1Mbps and the rating marked was under ‘factory’ conditions. However, when I checked the speed it works only at 0.5Mbps. Hence I was shocked to see an advertisement claiming over 7mbps. Should there not be a law against such flasehood?

    Further, the usage counter on the card’s software is not true either. I was informed that the actual and right counter was in BSNL and it shows about 30% more than the one on your computer!! You have to call them every time to get the actual reading.

    And what’s more the usage counter stopped counting after a week. Now I have to take the SIM to BSNL and leave it for a ‘few’ days. They do not come over to your house and provide a service like the private companies!

    Watch out for the 18 GB free download claim – it is only 3 Gb @ 1 Gb a month during daytime and the other 15 Gb is available only from 11 pm to 7 am when no one uses the computer!!!

  • venkatesh

    hi every one….I bought 3G datacard from a BSNL franchise(not CSC), this is a good option because we can buy unlocked huawei/micromax etc..,u can easily migrate to other operators(airtel etc.,) when they launch their 3G services, some datacards sold by BSNL are locked to BSNL, (even u can unlock it with the help of xternal sources at an additional cost.. ),
    Coming to speeds, its highly variable. as this is the initial stage of 3G lifetime, u would be higher speeds because the fraction of bandwidth u would be getting will be more,as the number of users simultaneouly using 3G at a time is very less…and the speed also depends on the signal strength at a location.

    This is happenening because BSNL will be using a fixed air-bandwidth of around 5MHz(i think..) in every cell which consists of 1 base station and ‘x’ number of users who will be using a part of this bandwidth assigned to him dynamically..

    We cant complian against bsnl regarding speeds because what they specify is the peak data rate a user will be getting if the entire bandwidth is allocated to a user ..which will occur only if there is a single user in a cell…

  • venkatesh

    but the customer service of bsnl is worst…we cant even understand the plans properly…

  • Anil Patel

    You are right venkatesh.
    I bought a 3g sim 3 month ago only for 3g internet use.I have samsung wave which is 3g handset.

    After fil up the form and submiting all documents csc persen told me that internet data plans are not aplicable in 3g handset mobile,you have to purchage the datacard for rs 2500 compulsary to activate any data plans i.e (275,440,606……).

    Then after I talk to custemer care atlist 20 times regarding 3g plans with 3g mobile but they are not sure.10 custemercare representative said that yes you can activate any plan in your 3g sim with 3g handset and other 10 said no you have to buy the modem compulsary.so I was so confused but I have activate the 275 rs plan for 1 month i.e 500 mb and now I am using it on my laptop bye conecting my mobile via datacable.

    If any one have same doubd I would like to say yes you can use 3g data plan from your mobile also no need to invest rs.2500

    Realy the customercare service of bsnl is worst…we cant even understand the plans properly…

    depending on the type of modem device and area.
    Assume we have a device which supports 3.1 Mbps,
    and a good coverage, then what can be the download speed…?
    Does it come more than 150 to 200 KBps(for file download) in the worst case? What is the lowest speed and best speed

    experienced in your respective areas..?

    If possible please reply to my id mohammedbit@gmail.com.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your input Mr. Rajshekhar. Being a govt. owned company, BSNL does have tendency for many false claims technically which are simply not possible or feasible. In my perception, their staff are also deliberately allowing degradation in their services with connivance of other private operators, a fact outright not accepted by their higher-ups. Telecom dept. has made more than enough money with their monoply in the past and are now facing tough competition with other srvice providers in India.
    I had few occasions to interact with some senior officers of BSNL and MTNL who also acknowledge this fact and are trying hard to improve the image of their organisation. All said and done, things are not the same as claimed by BSNL. For example, I happened to buy a 3G datacard from BSNL immediately after its gala inauguration in September with a hope to improve my connectivity but was soon disappointed with the actual service that is available. I am also not confident as to how few good officers of BSNL could influence their staff for betterment as desired. However, with a positive mind, I would gather some courage to reach them for some help which they can offer.
    Thanks again for your meaningful input anyway.

  • PARITOSH KUMAR

    3G data plan (or high speed internet) is applicable for both 3G handset and 3G USB modem. You can use any of them any time and any where. You can select any device which supports 3G(i.e.; HSPA or HSDPA or HSUPA or WCDMA or UMTS 2100).

  • Nagalingam

    I have Bsnl Cellone postpaid mobile connection of Rs. 225 per month. Now I am thinking of 3G because I have Nokia N97 mobile. major usage will be internet, chatting, email from mobile. all I need to know is, if I migrate to Bsnl 3G what will be my monthly Rent ?

    I read in Bsnl Site for 3G service there is additional rent I guess its Rs 25, still we need to pay for GPRS service ? I saw GPRS is Rs 99 per month.

    if anyone who migrated to 3G from Cellone postpaid mobile connection, please let me know how much you paid to migrate and what is your approx monthly bill itemised ?

    Greatly appreciate the replies for these. Thanks in advance

  • Priyanka

    what is the exact amount to be recharged in bangalore for free local and std on net calls ?

  • Divakar

    As per the latest tariff the Rs.25 for 3G is waived off. I think on your plan you have 9000secs of local, 3000secs of STD and also 200MB of GPRS and 150MB 3G data usage free per month. Beyond the free usage its 1ps/10KB. If you can give me your mail id I’ll post you the entire tariff sheet.

  • Divakar

    STV(Special Tariff Voucher) Rs.501 for Unlimited Local and STD on Net for one month and I think its STV of Rs.301(not sure of actual amount) for unlimited Local for one month. Please check the actual amount b4 recharge as its Rs.1 more or less.

  • Hari

    Hi ,
    I would like to know the tariff’s available for 3G internet access through BSNL SIM cards.
    I need to know the required documents and also the processing time for activation of 3G services?

  • Divakar

    Hi Hari,
    First thing would be get a 3G sim card from BSNL for which you need to carry your photo id like passport or DL or Voter ID and a passport sixe photo. Second thing is to select which plan you are interested in either post/pre paid. You can access internet either through your 3G mobile (on mobile or on PC using mobile PC suite, best option) or buy a 3G datacard. If you already have a BSNL sim then
    1.If its a 2G sim convert it to 3G by send sms as “M3G120″ to 53733 and confirm the sms you get back as “M3G120 Y” to 53733.
    2. Exchange 2G sim for a 3G sim at BSNL CSCs near your place.
    For latest tariff better to check in the CSCs or call the call center.

  • Divakar

    1.In pre-paid *123# will give the balance data available.
    2.In post-paid send an sms as “amt” to 53444 to know amount of data used and total bill amount till the very last call.

  • rakshit

    sir, i live in kanpur(u.p).i have nokia e63 . I want to use bsnl 3g service.can i use it???

  • Jim, Bangalore

    BSNL has started to cheat people. They will give you an unlimited plan and suddenly change into a limited one without informing the customers. My bill came upto Rs20,000 in six days. I took an unlimited plan of Rs1359 in the month of Dec, 2011. Every month I was paying around Rs1800. But in the March, 2011, I was shocked to get a bill of Rs20,000. After enquiring in the BSNL office, they simply said that the plan has changed to 15GB and I have to pay the money. This is pathetic.

  • http://jash05.blogspot.com Jaswanth

    Hello sir 606 plan applicable for 3g mobiles ha.
    Becoz the dealer sayin tat plan only applicable for datacard
    and customer care saying it also applicable for 3g mobile handset with max speed 3.1
    which is true plez reply me….,

  • fibin

    When we convert from 2G to 3G bsnl , all the special tariff & offers on 2G sim will be lost.
    For example, many 2G sims have an offer of unlimited free calls to a given bsnl land line number. THis offer will not be ther if we convert it to a 3G connection. So we have to be careful when opting for 3G plan.
    Also tried accessing 3G connection with my samsung duos handset, & 2G bsnl SIM , even without optinmg for a 3G plan. ;-)
    mobile network mode should be ‘UMTS’ – means it works only in 3G coverage areas.
    the 3G icon will come over the range icon in mobile.
    The usage fee was around 1 rs for 1 MB for the prepaid connection .
    The speed i got with a medium range was .12 Mbps (112 kbps)

  • Divakar

    Dear Iqbal
    First of All its not 0.02paisa per KB, its 2paisa per 10kb.
    Secondly its 30kb/1rupee, 1MB/33Rupee and so on..
    Choose a better plan which will give you more data for less money.
    Happy Browsing… :)

    Little Correction to my previous post
    Its 300KB/1Rupee 1MB/3.33Rupee and so on…
