BSNL launches 3G in Hyderabad and Andhra Pradesh | Bsnl Broadband

The 3G spectrum has gradually started to spread in India. After the metros and other Tier 2 cities, it was the turn of Hyderabad to go 3G. BSNL launched 3G in the state with the announcement of exceptionally good tariff rates.

New subscribers have some very good offers. STD calls and local calls are priced 50 paisa and 30 paisa. Local SMS will be charges 40 paisa and the users will have to pay 60 paisa for national SMS. Data transfer will be charged 1 paisa per 10 KB. Thus it will be Rs 1 for 1 MB and Rs 1000 for each GB. This should be fair with the users. The subscription charges are also very low at Rs 59. There is also a joining offer that will give users free talk time of 50 minutes and 25 MB of free data transfer.



The tariff for existing subscribers has been so pitched that they may have to migrate to 3G. A non 3G STD will cost them 70 paisa and 3G will cost 50 paisa. This should act as some motivation to change over to 3G. The service will be available in 29 cities and 23 District Headquarters in Andhra Pradesh.
