BSNL confirms the withheld in change of unlimited tariff for existing customers.

Existing BSNL EVDO users can now breathe a sigh of relief, as BSNL has officially confirmed the withheld in changes to the unlimited tariff for its existing customers. It’s good to see that BSNL has reacted for the queries, petitions and requests which were raised by some of their customers. We must be thankful for those who made an effort in contacting BSNL for this very own sake.

Quoting from the official site:
* Existing EVDO customers would continue to avail the unlimited data usage@Rs 650 per month

This means, all existing users can continue enjoying unlimited internet at Rs. 650 per month. However the asterisk sign in the very beginning of that sentence also says that it might be for a time being. And they might increase the unlimited tariff for existing customers as well.

To conclude, it will be good for both BSNL and as well as its existing customers as far the price for unlimited tariff remains the same. If they still have future ideas of hiking for their valuable existing customers, they will definitely lose some of their customers in very short period of time.

I would like to thank ashish_evdo for updating us with the news and dark_king for bringing this into my concern via his BSNL-EVDO-CLUB SMS Channel.

BSNL splits EVDO service with 5 Plans. Unlimited plan hiked.

UPDATE:  BSNL HAS DECIDED TO WITHHELD THE HIKE. More Info

There was a rumor/news/buzz going on in our forum regarding the discontinuation of Unlimited plan on EVDO service. It has created a stir in the existing customers, and many are even planning to move on to some other ISP. And it was confirmed that BSNL has brought some new changes in it’s EVDO tariff after some customers got a notification stating the change in plans and regarding the Unlimited plan and even BSNL published the new plan on their site to fuel the fire.

So I decided to get the official news straight from the BSNL and sent a mail to JTO in Bangalore who is in charge of EVDO service. He is friendly and is in touch with me since I started this website and forum. After exchanging some mails, I’ve gathered the official news here in this post. Hope you all find it useful.
