BSNL Voice-only Plan:Following the latest guidelines from TRAI, major telecom companies in India have introduced new voice and SMS-only plans for users who don’t need internet data.

BSNL, which has long been offering voice-only plans, has gained renewed interest due to TRAI’s push for more flexibility.
