State-owned telecom operator BSNL is attracting attention with its Rs 2,799 prepaid plan, which comes with a full 365 days of validity. The plan stands out in the market by offering a year-long service at a price lower than comparable annual plans from private telecom operators.

What You Get with BSNL's Rs 2,799 Plan

BSNL's annual plan includes:

• 365 days validity

• 3GB high-speed data per day

• Unlimited voice calling on all networks

• 100 SMS per day

With 3GB of daily data for an entire year, users receive a total of 1,095GB of high-speed data during the validity period.

BSNL Offers More Data at a Lower Price

The biggest advantage of BSNL's annual plan is its combination of lower cost and higher data allowance. No major private telecom operator currently offers a 365-day plan below Rs 3,000 with similar daily data benefits.

Jio's Annual Plan Costs More

Jio's 365-day prepaid plan is priced at Rs 3,599. The plan offers:

• 2.5GB data per day

• Unlimited voice calling

• 100 SMS per day

In addition, Jio provides several bundled benefits, including access to JioHotstar Mobile, Google Gemini Pro benefits, Google Cloud storage, and unlimited 5G data where available.

Airtel's Plan is Also Priced Higher

Airtel's annual prepaid plan is also available at Rs 3,599 and includes:

• 2GB data per day

• Unlimited voice calling

• 100 SMS per day

The plan comes with additional services such as unlimited 5G access, Adobe Express Premium, Hello Tunes, spam protection features, and Airtel Xstream Play access.

Why BSNL's Plan is Cheaper

BSNL focuses primarily on core telecom benefits such as data, calling, and SMS. Unlike private operators, it does not bundle premium entertainment subscriptions, cloud storage, AI services, or other value-added offerings with this plan. As a result, users get a lower-priced plan with a higher daily data allowance, making it an attractive option for those who prioritize affordability and data usage over additional perks.
