To compete with private telecom giants, BSNL has stepped up its game by launching a new doorstep SIM card delivery service. In a bid to simplify the process of getting a new mobile connection, the state-run telecom operator now allows users to request a new SIM, prepaid or postpaid, right from the comfort of their home. This new service puts BSNL on par with competitors like Jio, Airtel, and Vi, who already offer similar options. However, it鈥檚 still unclear whether BSNL鈥檚 SIM delivery will be completely free, as it is with the private players, here’s all you need to know. How To Apply For BSNL SIM Card Home DeliveryGetting started is pretty straightforward. Users need to head over to BSNL鈥檚 dedicated SIM delivery portal, where they can either request a new number or opt to port their existing number from another network. It鈥檚 a move designed to attract fresh customers while also offering a hassle-free switch for those fed up with their current provider. Once on the portal, users need to fill in a few basic details such as name, PIN code, and an alternate mobile number. BSNL then sends a one-time password (OTP) to the alternate number for verification. A quick self-KYC step is also part of the process, and once that鈥檚 done, your new SIM is all set to arrive at your doorstep. A Move To Win Back CustomersBSNL鈥檚 new initiative comes at a time when the company is struggling to retain users. TRAI data shows the telco lost around 1.8 million active users in April alone, and its active user ratio stands at just 61.4%, the lowest among all major telecom providers. With this new SIM delivery service, BSNL hopes to make life easier for users, especially in rural and semi-urban areas by eliminating the need to visit a store. The key, however, will lie in how smoothly and efficiently the delivery and verification processes are handled.
