BSNL validity recharge

[avi]

My SIM validity has been expired. How do I recharge ? I am not able to find options here :

BSNL Portal || Online Payments -- Landline/WiMax/FTTH bills-Cellone Bills-Online recharge

CC telling me to visit nearest BSNL office :|

I had a similar experience with my old 3G sim.

I recharged from the portal and the expiry date got extended.

there is an option thats says

BSNL PREPAID MOBILE RECHARGE (All India)

Topup/ Recharge/ Flexi Topup Prepaid Mobile online...

after that login and do a normal recharge. Do a basic amount (depends on the state) for me its Rs.55/-

 

[avi]

^Yup, but it is showing zero validity :S

 

[thatsashok]

I never thought about that. I never cared look into that page just made payment

from what you said in OP about SIM validity i thought it was sim expiry date (see your expiry date is 20/02/2015)

here is my screenshot.

See my sim expired.

It happened many times like this and i recharge the same Rs.55/- and the expiry date gets pushed further.

I guess that the amount received from the recharge is valid until it gets used all out

from this link http://www.bsnl.in/service/tariff_excel_pre.htm#RC the validity should be 30 days

Just do a topup and the validity increases proportionally plus you get the normal talktime as usual. Topup for 100 and you get 90 days validity and so on as given on their site -- www.bsnl.in/service/tariff_excel_pre.htm

How much ?
What's the min for Kolkata ?
Will net pack do the same ?

 

[avi]

^no idea.

I did 24 INR got 44 INR TT & 6 month validity. Retailer said it is some limited offer

I have have to ask retailer that my BSNL 3G Prepaid SIM has expired and they will do the right recharge for me ?

It showing expired on July 2011.

 

[avi]

Yup, they will do

West to a Retailer today.

Sadly he told that I have spent 220 for 6 month validity(no other thing).

Worst thing the validity 6 month will add after my expiry date.

That mean my SIM showing Ex date July 20011.

After this it will be showing Jan 2012.

I hate to go any BSNL office.

No choice have to look for a cheap new SIM.

^ Just *topup* for Rs 200 and you will get 6 months validity from *today*. Tried and tested by me! Or if you want to reconfirm, topup for Rs 10 and see if the validity has increased by 9 days or not.

Plus due to new year offer most likely (depends on the circle) you will get full talk time as well for all topups above Rs 200.

Just do a hundred bucks top up,validity will increase by 3 months.

I tried Rs.24/- BSNL normal recharge at rechargeitnow but failed and my money is gone

Don't know if they will refund money or not.

 

[avi]

You will get refund don''t worry

 

[Revolution]

But,Rs.25/- deducted while I did put Rs.24/-

I've used PayTM, Freecharge & Mobikwik to topup my BSNL Mobile. All works.

BSNL doesn't have separate Topup & Recharge now. Just do a Topup & your validity will increase.

Check this page for Topup Amount - Validity details - Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd

I used top up option there.

Go to any of those small roadside recharge shops...try a 50 rs top up...do not pay him,if you do not get the top up successful SMS.
