BSNL will give you a telephone for Rs 20 only


Few years back, having a telephone was considered to be a luxury in India. There were a number of towns and districts with less than 100 telephones. Today, the telecom revolution has fully bloomed in India. The government carrier, BSNL, and private operators are in a cut throat competition.

The BSNL has proposed a new scheme in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh. Under this scheme a landline telephone will be available by paying installments of Rs 20 per month. Another variation of the scheme is paying Rs 200 at one time instead of the monthly charge. BSNL is even offering 20 free calls per month to its subscribers under this scheme. Right now, this scheme is available only in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh.

India has witnessed the fastest growth in telephone density in recent time. BSNL is the largest telecom service provider in the country. And bollywood star Preity Zinta enjoys being the brand ambassador for BSNL. India now boasts a telephone density of 24.63 percent. The total number of mobile phone subscribers are assessed at 242.4 million.
