Currently, the cheapest 4G service provider in the country is BSNL, i.e., Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited. The plans provided by BSNL are at least 20-30% cheaper than the plans provided by other private companies in the country. The company has taken its own time to expand the 4G network across the country in the past few years. The telecom companies in the country are already on 5G technology, but the rollout of 4G by BSNL is still in progress. It is the customers who are reaping the benefits of the rollout of 4G by the company. It is in this context that we are going to discuss one of the plans provided by the company, i.e., the plan provided by the company for only ₹99.

BSNL offers a plan for Rs. 99 with unlimited voice calling. The service validity of this plan is 14 days. However, it only offers 50MB of high-speed 4G data, after which the speed drops to 40 Kbps. Therefore, it's safe to say that this plan isn't for heavy data users. The average daily cost of using this plan is just ₹7.07 per day.

If you want unlimited voice calling, this is a decent price for the short term. If you go with private telecom companies like Vodafone Idea, plans in this price range often come with limited talk time. BSNL's ₹99 plan is currently available in all telecom circles.

This is the company's cheapest service validity bundled prepaid plan currently available in the voice voucher section. Furthermore, you can, of course, recharge with a data voucher above. With a data voucher, you'll be able to use more data.

If you can afford a little more, you can directly purchase the Rs. 147 plan. This offers 5GB of data and unlimited voice calling for 24 days. What these two plans don't offer is SMS benefits. However, if you wish, you can send a port-out SMS to 1900, as per TRAI regulations.
