BSNL on Thursday announced its new mobile plan, which offers a daily quote of 4GB at 3G speeds for Rs 444 with 90 days validity.

This the highest per day data limit being offered by any telecom operator in the country. Under the scheme, one gigabyte of 3G mobile data will cost less than a rupee – the lowest in the sector.

BSNL says its competitors in the market are offering up to 2GB of mobile broadband per day. The data splurge from telcos was initially kick started by Reliance Jio, who is currently offering up to 2GB of 4G data every day with its Summer Surprise offer (now called Jio Dhan Dhana Dhan offer).

In comparison to Jio’s 4G network, BSNL will be hoping that even with 3G data on offer, their expansive presence and the lure of 4GB data with 90 days validity (360GB in total) appeals to consumers.

The benefits customer will get under the new STV-444 ‘BSNL Chaukka’ of Rs 444 truly unlimited data with 4 GB data/day with validity of 90 days.

The new offer follows BSNL's unlimited data offer 'Triple ACE' special tariff voucher of Rs 333 in which it offered customers 3GB data per day.
