National telecom backbone – Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) – has decided to discontinue Voice only plans in Bharat Fiber (BSNL FTTH). It means, BSNL will allow customers to opt only Combo FTTH Broadband plans on Bharat Fiber.
Earlier, BSNL customers were allowed to choose Voice Only plans also in Bharat Fiber category. As we reported earlier, BSNL Bharat Fiber (FTTH) Broadband connections are increasing exponentially all over India during these pandemic period. There is ever increasing demand from customers for a stable internet connectivity which is the fundamental right for everyone in our present life. Almost all the newly launched BSNL Bharat Fiber (FTTH) plans are bundled with True Unlimited Voice Calls to any network without any additional cost. Hence, BSNL authorities has decided to stop providing Voice Only connections through fiber (BSNL Bharat Fiber – FTTH).
An official statement from BSNL regarding the withdrawal of Voice Only plans in Bharat Fiber (FTTH) read as follows:-
It is decided by the competent authority not to provide exclusive voice connection on Bharat Fibre for new telephone connection and also for conversion from Copper Voice to Fibre voice. As FTTH is a service primarily for high speed Broadband, hence Voice is provided as unlimited free bundled with data.
The above order is implemented with immediate effect across all the telecom circles. However, existing customers in Voice Only plans will continue and efforts will be taken to convert these connections to Combo Broadband plans as there is no separate charge for Voice Service in Combo plans. As we reported on 6th May 2021, BSNL has discontinued Installation Charges for new Bharat Fiber connections as a promotional offer for 90 days. So this is the right time to apply for BSNL Bharat Fiber connection so that you may get Rs 500/- discount in your first telephone bill. Now, BSNL also allows migration of existing landline connections (connections provided via copper cable) to Bharat Fiber without changing existing telephone number.
