please advice-this call forwarding facility is available with existing landline number or any virtual landline number who do not have land line connection?
"India's largest landline service provider Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)". Its like saying India's largest Telegraph service provider. LOL
What about outgoing calls
What's the point to have such service? I understand if they combine it with real landline then that feature will be useful but just to get a virtual number to get incoming calls forwarded to a mobile phone. Instead why shouldn't I just buy a prepay connection and invert into same mobile phone?
Is this facility available only for existing land line customers? What about outgoing calls ? What about data availability.
BSNL must take steps to attract customers to their landline services
waste of money ,why not direct call to mobile number instead you call landline and then that call will be forwarded to mobile number, one point is that you get a desired number …..thats it!
Can I change the target mobile number occasionally?
No, I applied for Virtual Number. It's not available in Assam in real.
BSNL website said it is available from August 01, 2017, but it's not done yet.
bsnl staff r not even ready to accept that such a plan exists
BSNL is having this false advertisement. This plan is not honored by BSNL and their employees are not even aware of this plan and simply inform us that there is no such plan. Shame on BSNL.
