Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), once one of India's premier telecom service providers, has been slowly ramping up its offerings for consumers. In recent months, the state-owned operator has begun rolling out Wi-Fi calling services, along with the CNAP (Caller Name Presentation) feature for its users. Meanwhile, it continues to offer low-priced data plans that offer an affordable alternative to the services offered by Airtel, Jio, and Vi. If you're an existing BSNL customer, you can easily find out details related to your current balance, remaining data allowance, and how long your pack will remain valid.
