BSNL 4G mobiles coming in partnership with Karbonn, aims to compete with Jio Bharat 4G phones

BSNL 4G mobile phones will provide 4G connectivity at an affordable price to subscribers who still use feature phones. The company announced this on its foundation day, October 1.

BSNL has gained a lot of new subscribers after the recent tariff hike by private telecom operators such as Jio, Airtel, and Vi. The company offers the most affordable recharge plans in the country due to which new subscribers are taking interest in its services. The state-owned telco has also paced up its 4G rollout to attract new subscribers. As most of the telecom users in rural areas still use feature phones, BSNL has announced a new service for these users.
