Prepaid Mobile plan – KOLKATA 99

Thanks for the information.

I wish BSNL Kerala too came up with similar offers.

thanks for the info rupu ... will the 5 paise call rates be applicable permanently for buyers of this sim? or is it for a limited period?

smart is also giving some very good offers on new connections in kolkata ... do check them out also ..

The 5 paisa offer will be for a limited period only.

hmmm... very good offer specially if most people in your circle are bsnl subscribers ... in my case i wont be able to use this to the fullest ... most of my friends have VF connection...

1. KOLKATA 99 to BSNL mobile of CTD 5 Paise per min
2. KOLKATA 99 to BSNL Landline/WLL(Local) & Mobile of WBTC 20 Paise per min
3. KOLKATA 99 to other Network (Local) 50 Paise per min
4. STD call within Eastern region (Own Network) 50 Paise per min

6. STD call other than Eastern region (all Network) Re 1/- per min

An impressive plan. hope it was available in other circles

the plan is no doubt good ... but i wonder how long services atthis rate will be provided ... coz once these rates are not applicable - bsnl rates are not so cheap ...

The offer will be valid at least for 6 months. That is guaranteed.

without monthly recharge of any bonus card? just the Rs.99 sim will give these tariffs for 6 months ... !!!?? Well, in that case i must say it is indeed a very good offer but i havent heard much about this in my circle. Infact i was planning to get a second connection for my old hadset and was more inclined towards aircel. will definitely check this out now.

No no. I meant they cannot change the existing offers for a minimum period of 6 months. Some TRAI norm it is..

Important Update:

Yesterday we subscribed to this plan and bought the new sim for a spare mobile at home ... I came to know just now.

The offer is really good... but the real CATCH is here:


After expiry of 60 days recharge can be done by using RCV of Rs.124/-having talk value of Rs.50/- & validity 30 days or RCV of Rs.249/- having talk value of Rs.100/- & validity 60 days with the above tariff features of Kolkata 99.No other RCVs are allowed.

Check the details of 124 & 249 RCV here : Calcutta Telephones

Thanks for the update !!

What does BSNL mean by Eastern Region? What areas does it cover?

BSNL Eastern Region: Kolkata, WB, Bihar, Orissa, Jharkhand

Thanks Panchabhut for the fast reply. I am sorry that I was late in acknowledging.


Kolkata 99, cannot be recharged over the internet.
Can it be converted to regular excel prepaid plan? If so what is to be done?
