BSNL and MTNL are both state-owned telecom operators. BSNL is active in the whole of India except Mumbai and Delhi, where its customers automatically switch to MTNL's network. Getting a BSNL or an MTNL SIM card has the same implications as getting any other phone connection in India. You will be pestered by telemarketers with constant spam text messages and calls. You can activate DND on BSNL or MTNL to reduce this problem a little. Remember that while it is easy to activate DND on BSNL or MTNL, it's not a foolproof solution to get rid of SMS or call spam.
