Public sector telecom behemoth Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has introduced BSNL Wings, the VoIP-based Internet telephony services, in the Kerala circle.
P.T. Mathew, Chief General Manger, BSNL Kerala, launched the service at a function organised in Thiruvananthapuram today. BSNL is the first operator in the country to offer the service.
VIRTUAL PHONE NUMBER
The service allows users to place and receive calls from Android, Windows and Apple IOS-based mobile devices, tablets, PCs and laptops without a SIM card, but using the Internet service of any operator. Customers would receive a 10-digit virtual phone number along with the connection through which they can make and receive calls.
BSNL Wings offers unlimited calls to any network in the country at a one-time registration charge of Rs 1,099. Booking for the service has commenced through BSNL’s customer service centres and its website bsnl.co.in .
The service comes with national and international roaming facilities, and customers can make India-bound calls at cheaper rates while roaming in other countries, Mathew said. Customers in areas with poor mobile coverage can take advantage of the service to make and receive calls through their home Wifi Internet.
