  • It is advised to activate International Roaming before going abroad. That time, you will be having signal and you can send an "STVIR57 to 123" message. For postpaid customers, BSNL CSCs will issue new Triple IMSI SIMs.

  • BSNL international roaming service very bad service. First off all no customer service available. They just mention on their web recharge 57 to get international roaming. Useless customer services. Jio Airtel or any other telecom they have WhatsApp customer services 24hour. But this company is still living 1982. My fault why I brought this SIM.
