As part of its efforts to promote the adoption of the latest technology, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) is offering additional data benefits to users who upgrade their old BSNL 2G/3G SIMs to a BSNL 4G SIM. BSNL’s Andhra Pradesh division has announced that users who switch to a 4G SIM will receive 4GB of complimentary data, which is valid for three months. To take advantage of this offer, customers can visit their nearest BSNL Customer Service Centre, Franchisee, Retailer, or DSA to upgrade to a 4G SIM.
