Let’s see some BSNL postpaid reviews by the users :
No interruptions in service. Low tariff, best postpaid service.
We have got the same benefits and services as with every network, but BSNL offers the service at a lower price than others. So, I switched to BSNL. I have no complaints till now.

I don't know about others, but I'm satisfied with BSNL services. I was there in Kashmir valley in June 2019 and got stuck in Baramulla thanks to BSNL networks; when no network was available, BSNL helps me find my path. And in hill areas and northernmost India, only BSNL is available. I love this.

The best thing is that they provide better customer care service and solve all problems of customer earliest. This is a trustworthy network.
Customer care service took too much time to solve my Landline problem. They fixed my line after four days of my complaints.

BSNL has the lowest-cost plans for every service among other networks. BSNL prepaid talk time recharge starts at just Rs. 10, and unlimited voice calling recharge comes at Rs. 147 for 30 days. It is the cheapest unlimited plan till now.

BSNL never compromises with its internet speed. From 20 Mbps to 300 Mbps, BSNL has all kinds of broadband plans for its users.
The reviews of the BSNL price are excellent. Most of the users are very happy with the low-cost plans. Here are some great reviews of satisfied customers.
I am a BSNL user. Before, I have used Reliance Jio and Airtel mobile network, but they have provided very costly plans. Then I chose the BSNL mobile network. BSNL gives me a speed of 1-3 Mbps. Then why I will choose any other mobile network.
I only switched to BSNL because of low-cost prepaid plans. I have no complaints. The internet speed is not fast enough, but after 10:30 pm, the internet speed goes up to 4 Mbps.
BSNL only provides the cheapest unlimited recharge plans. I only need unlimited calling, so why pay more when BSNL gives the same thing at low prices.
Low-cost service plans, average internet speed, no issue with the network. No complaints. Good Enough.
