BSNL, India’s only pan 
India 3G mobile operator is now ready to offer 3G data plan at more affordable prices to Indian customers. The company is reducing 3G data plan rates up to 45% from the existing prices for both prepaid and postpaid customers in all over India effective from 15Aug.
BSNL is now scrapping all its existing 2G/3G data STVs and will have only four types of data STVs. The MRP of 3G data STV for prepaid customers will starts from Rs 139 which offer 1GB of 3G data, at present this STV costs Rs 250.
The details of revised 3G data STVs for prepaid customers are as below
All the above STV will be effective from 15 Aug-2013
For postpaid customer, BSNL is more liberal and will offer data plans at more reduced prices . The 1GB data plan for postpaid customer will cost Rs 125 only.
The details of revised 3G data plans for Postpaid are as below
All these rates for postpaid will be effective from billing cycle starting from 1 Sept-2013.
BSNL is going to close all the below 2G data plans from 15 Aug-2013 because now onwards, the default profile of any BSNL customer will be 3G with no speed restriction that means as per the network availability and as per your device, you will get the speed of data usage.
From above it is also clear that for postpaid customer, those are subscribed to postpaid plans of FMC of Rs 725 and Rs 1500 and were enjoying unlimited free data usage, will now have to be satisfied themselves by reduced data usage of 1GB and 2GB respectively.
BSNL is having five Rate cutter SMS STVs and from 15 Aug-2013 , BSNL is going to modify the feature of all these Rate cutter SMS STVs. Now instead of reducing rates, a fixed number of free SMSs on any network will be allowed by using these STVs.

Well Explained and great News!
i was gettin 3g in 2g speed i use to recharge with 219 for 4gb day nd 4gb nite but now i won’t get tat nd dis rates are very expensive… admin do u knw if bsnl will revise again 2g plans??
What’s so good in the new revised data packs ? ..but another strategy by BSNL.
For instance I used 2G RCV 219 = 4GB + 4GB = Day n Night 30 Days validity.
Now ….
Revised uniform 2G3G Data RCV 251 = ONLY 2GB DAY/NIGHT 30Days validity.
YES VERY TRUE 3G SPEED IT IS IN AFFORDABLE PRICES … BUT WITH SUCH ‘SO LOW ‘ DATA USAGE HOW THE COST WILL BE COVERED?????….
Beside 2G speed was indeed not so bad in some areas and 1 thing very worth mentioning is BSNLs 3G network is not very widely covered in all areas as we know. these areas will automatically drop down to 2g speed then when not close to 3G.
Was this at all necessary or just competitive strategy reaction to reliance 3G?
so basically “HIGH ON SPEED LOW ON DATA” now what it is.
Cherish the speed and cry on the data
