BSNL provided some SIM's some time back.I think the charges were 100 per month.but now the scheme is closed.i heard that they are going to relaunch the service.so contact the nearest BSNL office for more info.

well bud sorry to say thats not available right now as for the gsm service providers thay just tend to levy more of the taxes burden on the prepaid connection rather than providing any type of discounts that definitly counts hutch or orange out of the league as they are the most heavy price demanders.so as for now i dont seem to see any hope but keep looking out may be they will improve.

Spice Telecom Network had started this scheme called MANIPAL MANIA sim card where the students of Manipal (karnataka) would get a customised tariff plan based upon their college timings and night offers etc..., mine is the same (Manipal Mania sim) i get less charged then the people who use other spice tariffs

And yes this scheme is closed for new connections and only the ones who have are using it...
