BSNL’s new ₹1 plan

This limited time offer of BSNL is valid across all telecom circles in the country. This offer will run from August 1 to August 31. To avail this offer, users will have to purchase a new BSNL SIM card for just Rs 1. The company has confirmed on social media that this offer is only for new BSNL users.

Efforts to increase ARPU

According to a recent report by TRAI, BSNL and Vi have seen lakhs of users switching networks in the last few months. In response to this continuous decline in the number of users, the state-owned telecom company has introduced this attractive offer. The government’s goal is to increase BSNL’s average revenue per user (ARPU). To achieve this, monthly review meetings will now be held. BSNL has been given a target of increasing its ARPU by 50 percent, and has been given clear instructions not to increase the prices of plans to achieve this. This aggressive new plan by BSNL seems to be a strategic move to regain market share and increase its user base.

Also, the Department of Telecommunications has also ordered telecom companies to secure their networks. The Department of Telecommunications has issued these instructions especially in view of the threat of potential cyber attacks.

Order to maintain uninterrupted connectivity

According to a report by Money Control, the order issued by the Ministry of Communications has directed telecom operators Airtel, Jio, BSNL and Vi to coordinate with each other to maintain uninterrupted connectivity and guarantee network operations. The meeting, which took place after India launched Operation Sindoor, asked the telecom companies to pay special attention to the border areas and prepare an updated list of infrastructure and installations to ensure their safety and continuous functioning in case of emergency.

In a letter to all telecom companies on May 7, the Department of Disaster Management of the Ministry of Telecom said, “Special emphasis should be given to ensuring smooth functioning of BTS locations within 100 km of the international border.” In addition, telecom operators should take necessary measures to maintain smooth communication in security situations and disaster situations. Work to ensure connectivity, especially at Emergency Operation Centres (EOCs) at both the state and district levels.

Strictly follow SOP

In its order, the Department of Telecom has directed the telecom companies to strictly follow the Standard Operating Procedures of 2020. This should be considered with immediate effect and necessary action should be taken. In addition, the Ministry has directed all LSA heads of the Department of Telecom to talk to the state governments to smoothen the movement of logistics of telecom companies in case of emergency and ensure their safety.

Roaming within the circle

During a disaster, telecom companies start intra-circle roaming service due to which users do not face any problem in network connectivity. Even during the cyclone that hit Odisha last year, telecom companies had enabled intra-circle roaming, due to which users did not face any network problem. When intra-circle roaming is enabled, in the event of a disaster and in the absence of a home network, users can make calls from their number using the network of any telecom operator.

Due to the expensive recharge plans, taking the plan repeatedly becomes very expensive. Many people take a new plan as soon as their recharge ends thinking that their number may be disconnected. Let us tell you about the new TRAI rules related to the validity of SIM card (Sim Card Active rule).

Most people do not know about the validity of their SIM and hence get it recharged repeatedly. In such a situation, a big problem arises for those who use two SIM cards.

Recently, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) has issued some rules related to SIM cards. TRAI’s new rules have given a big relief to mobile users. Even if your mobile recharge plan has expired, now you will not need to recharge immediately. Your SIM card will remain active for several months without any recharge plan.

TRAI rules for Jio users

If you use a Jio SIM, you can keep your SIM active for 90 days without recharging. If you do not have a recharge plan, the incoming service on your number will remain active for 90 days. However, you will not be able to avail the outgoing service without recharge. To keep the SIM active after 90 days, you will have to take a plan with a validity of Rs 99. If you do not take this plan, your number will be disconnected.

TRAI rule for Airtel

If you use Airtel SIM then note that without recharging, you can keep your Airtel SIM card active for only 60 days. After 60 days you will have to take a plan with validity of Rs 45. In this too, you will be able to avail only incoming service for 60 days.

TRAI’s rule for Vi

If you use Vi SIM, let us tell you that you can keep your SIM card active for 90 days without a recharge plan. After this, you will have to take a plan of Rs 49 to keep the SIM active.

TRAI’s rule for BSNL is that

you can keep the SIM card of the government company BSNL active for maximum days without any recharge plan. In this you get a validity of 180 days. This means that after the recharge plan ends, the incoming service will remain active on your number for 180 days.

This rule is designed to reduce the spam messages coming on our mobile phones. This new rule was initially scheduled to come into effect from December 1, but it was extended to give service providers a little more time to prepare. Originally, this rule was to come into effect by October 31, but it was extended to December 1 on the request of telecom companies.

You will get relief from the new rule

Until now, it has been difficult to trace the source of many fraudulent messages and spam. This new technology aims to change that. By making it easier to trace the source of these messages, TRAI hopes to protect people from fraud. This new system will allow everyone to be traced, from the sender of the message to the one who delivers it. This will create a clean process, including people like telemarketers. This process will be completed before the message reaches the service provider.

TRAI has also taken care that with this new rule, important messages, such as OTP for banking and other services, do not reach late. They have said that these important messages will reach on time. Important OTPs will reach on time.

Under this new rule, promotional messages and spam without registration will be blocked. This will make it easier for users to identify advertising and promotional messages. More than 27,000 companies have already registered, and the process is going on rapidly. Overall, this new rule will make communication safe and transparent for everyone.

Companies will provide correct information about their network coverage and service quality on the website. This will help customers know which services are available in their area and they can choose the right option as per their requirement.
