Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched its internet telephony application, BSNL Wings on Google Play Store. Notably, the state-run telecom operator had introduced the VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service last year which allows the users in the locations of poor cellular connectivity to make calls over the internet. In India where there is poor mobile connectivity, people rely on applications like WhatsApp messenger or Facebook messenger to make calls. However, BSNL looks forward to changing that, and the latest launch of the BSNL Wings app is the first step in that direction. The BSNL Wings app will also facilitate calls where there is no cell-phone connectivity because of other reasons like basements, multi-story buildings etc. so subscribers will only need to have an internet connection to make a call.
BSNL Wings Especially Useful in Areas of Poor Connectivity
The Voice over Internet Protocol will be extremely beneficial for the general public where the subscribers face poor cell connectivity as they will be able to use any 4G, 3G, Wi-Fi network from any operator to make a call. A different internet service provider won’t be a hindrance in whether or not the subscriber can make a call. Further, the app will allow easy calling operations much similar to the existing call app on the users’ devices. The app will also sync the contacts from the user’s phone so they won’t have to do the hassle of searching and typing in the number separately when they need to call their contacts. Not only that, but BSNL’s Wings services will be available pan-India so you won’t have to worry when you are in a different location and facing network issues. However, with that being said, subscribers of BSNL should also note that the BSNL Wings service is not free. People who want to use the BSNL Wings service should make note that they should pay a one-time fee for an entire year worth of usage.
Earlier, subscribers had to set up their phone’s stock dialer application to make calls via BSNL Wings service, but now, the telco has launched a separate app.
How to Start Using BSNL Wings VoIP Service
The initial one-time fee for BSNL Wings service has been set at Rs 1,099 after paying which users will be able to make calls from the Wings app for an entire year. However, to start using the service, subscribers will first need to download SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), following which a 10-digit subscription ID will be allocated to them. After that, they will receive a 16-digit PIN on their registered email address, using which the subscribers will be able to activate their Wings service. BSNL Wings will also allow international calling, but the one-time deposit for making international calls will be Rs 2,000, and the calls will be chargeable as per the existing landline tariff for international calls. BSNL subscribers who wish to use the Wings application to make calls can book their connection either through the official BSNL website, through a customer service center, or an official franchise.
