If you are a BSNL mobile subscriber in Karnataka circle, n state-led telco has w started issuing 4G SIM cards to prepaid subscribers finally after an almost interminable wait. This development means that official rollout of 4G services of BSNL is w only about a matter of time. With this, BSNL’s Karnataka circle joins likes of or circles such as Kochi in India where 4G network connectivity is slated to go live and regions where new SIM cards have been issued. Post purchasing BSNL 4G SIM cards, you could check your smartphones for current-gen LTE connectivity standards.

w, in case you are a new BSNL subscriber; or are desirous of finally checking out BSNL’s LTE connectivity within your handsets, you would be required to purchase a new 4G SIM-card in exchange for your current 3G SIM modules. This can be done at nearest telephone exchange. This process involves submission of your Kw-Your-Customer (KYC) documents such as Ahaar, or or government issued ID cards.  Charges for new SIM-card would be Rs 100.

3G services would continue for your 4G-compatible SIM cards till wireless techlogy connectivity service rolls out. At this juncture, it is worth ting that plans custom-me for 4G could vary and even be integrated to current offerings (present subscription plans) that telco offers. You could check out an authorized center for recharge plans.

latest development should also oretically increase BSNL’s 4G reach (after service goes live) throughout state of Karnataka, and t restricted to just tier-1 regions. recharge schemes here, especially prepaid packs should compete with likes of incumbent telcos and Reliance Jio as far as customer retention (and possibly onboarding new subscribers) is concerned.

At this point in time, all major telcos in India have been intensively doling out custom prepaid recharge packs that majorly offer long validity along with a host of 4G data, free + unlimited calling, and more. While rumour mills have been equating this new trend in Indian telecom industry with that of potential competition with Reliance Jio’s offers, we think that end result of newer prepaid “pack schemes” only benefits subscribers at end of day. Do share your insights here.
