    The reason why BSNL is the last option a person wants or never opted is this I guess...landline dead for last one month, lodged complaints twice 129583320112 and 130210191112 after few days received a message as resolved but landline still dead @BSNLCorporate @BSNL_CHTD

    @sukumaranlens @rishibagree BSNL service, please don't joke. Out of 30 days in a month approximately 20 days the basic landline service wil be dead. No use of walking to the telephone exchange and registering complaints.

    How does a SIM-less FWA work? Unlike Jio AirFiber or Airtel Xstream AirFiber which require physical 5G SIMs, BSNL utilizes Direct-to-Device (D2D) tech. The hardware automatically authenticates with the network via device level ID and cloud provisioning right out of the box. 2/n

    @bsnl_care @BirdsCutee I want to complain regarding my Bsnl Broadband, there is no internet connection. Pls help me. BSNL Telephone no. 01332297989

  • TakwaSebai
    Takwa Sebai (@TakwaSebai) reported

    @gauravh1 Interesting move by BSNL. SIM-less FWA is a smart play for fixed deployments. From a network architecture perspective, skipping USIM-based authentication for FWA makes sense when the CPE is stationary. No handover complexity, no roaming scenarios, no need for traditional subscriber identity management. The real question is what they're using instead. Certificate-based auth? IMEI-based provisioning? Each has different security implications. Most FWA deployments globally still rely on SIM-based auth (even Jio AirFiber and Airtel Xstream). Going SIM-less at scale is genuinely bold. Worth watching how this scales. SIM-less = lower deployment cost per subscriber, which is exactly what BSNL needs to compete on price in rural India.

    @RMantri You are wrong in this case. Because of BSNL, we now have a matured system of indigenous 4G and 5G equipment maker Tejas Network. Long term benefit will be immense. No private sector was betting on Tejas.

    @bsnl_care Your customer care service is the worst in all accounts.Even bsnl is unable to send SIM settings in spite of more than seven requests.I think irresponsible behaviour of their service executive is the main reason for the downfall of BSNL.
