State-owned mobile operator BSNL is gaining four customers for every customer lost due to the mobile number portability, according to BSNL chief general manager (AP Telecom Circle) Rajeev Agrawal.
Addressing the media here on Monday, he said so far 14,000 customers had expressed their intent to be part of the BSNL network while 4,000 BSNL customers were planning to move out. As many as 11,500 are porting in already, he said adding BSNL hoped to benefit from the MNP due to its low tariff and wider network. Most of them coming to BSNL are prepaid customers.
BSNL is offering free SIM to customers coming in through MNP along with an additional talk value of Rs 100 and 5 GB GPRS download. It has also waived porting in charges of Rs 19. The company added 3,50,000 customers in January alone, he said, adding the number would increase in the days to come with the MNP. It is also confident of adding new landlines customers through its new schemes - Bandham and Nestham. The first one allows customers to make unlimited free calls to his landline while the second allows friends and family members registered to call at 10 paise per minute, he said.
The AP Telecom circle is making efforts to improve the coverage by installing additional base transceiver stations among others, he said.
