Changes in the current procedures are:
2. Accumulation of Data STVs of different denominations is not possible. Only STVs of same MRP will be accumulated. However on migration to ALU, the data validity will be extended for 30 days with available data volume on date. The customer has to consume the available volume within this period.
Please clarify..
Does this mean than STV DATA176 can be renewed with DATA176 only and not with DATA252??
If there is a data balance of 10GB, does it have to be consumed within 1 month and not carried forward upon renewal of data plan??
Please clarify
Dear Friend, Yes. Accumulation of Data STVs of different denominations is not possible. Only STVs of same MRP will be accumulated.
If we have 500 MB left in our data STV 155, it will be carried forward only with recharge 155 (stv155).
Please correct me if there is any correct in the following. If we have 500 MB left in our data STV 155, it will be carried forward with recharge 155 (stv155) which has a validity of 28 Days. So after 28 days I have 200 MB data balance. So on next STV155 top up, this 200 MB will be again accumulated. This accumulation will be continued until and unless we use the same STV plan.
Yes. Exactly…
Actually you must recharge on or before the expiry of that plan, that means on day 28 for accumulating the balance.
How can I check internet balance…?
*124 *4# is not working..
Rijas Rasheed, Dial *124*2# or send sms STVENQ to 123 to know the status of all activated STVs (VOICE/SMS/DATA/ISD/COMBO)
By "Data2G" or "Data3G" followed my mobile number we were able to know the data balance SIM in Data Card owned by us . This was useful for to know data balance of Data card with out computer/laptop was out of our reach then .
What is equivalent facility now?

How to activate isd facility in prepaid plans now..?
Dear Friend, see details about ISD facility activation @ http://www.keralatelecom.info/2015/01/activate-isd-facility-in-bsnl-prepaid-postpaid-mobile.html
Will Mithram plan auto renewal work now? all FNF numbers need to be added for each renewal? How to add FNF now? Using *124# doesnt work. Adding 91 before the number says incorrect number., adding 0 to the number says Thank You. But no FNF numbers gets added.
sending HELP by sms to 123 returns many options. But none of them works for Kerala.
Dear Friend, Auto Renewal option is available for Mithram Plan also. Dial *124*6# to verify yourFNF Numbers. If it is empty, just add them in the required format.
