Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) gives its customers the choice of getting fancy numbers (aka vanity numbers or VIP numbers or premium numbers) that are easy to remember and have a special set of combinations. Fancy numbers by BSNL are available for both postpaid and prepaid users in India. Customers need to bid through e-auctions to secure the fancy number they want.
