SHILLONG: BSNL has launched many customer friendly schemes for fixed access network and mobile segments.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday in the city, B. Chandra Sekhar, Chief General Manager Telecom North East-1, said one of the initiatives is the introduction of new service called ‘WINGS’
The WINGS allows customers to make and receive voice and video calls through the VoIP App installed in smartphone, tablet, I-Pad and laptop connected to any internet service in India and abroad.
“This is a unique service offered by BSNL only and this does not require a SIM for making voice and video calls”, the official said.
For one year, the service will be free and the charge will be fixed later.
When asked, the official said that new initiative goes beyond the service being provided by WhatsApp as the BSNL App helps to call any number unlike WhatsApp which is connected only to another WhatsApp number.
