State-run BSNL launched free roaming, which will allow all its mobile customers across the country to receive incoming calls at no cost. Now BSNL mobile customers will not need to carry multiple SIMs and handsets during roaming. They are free to talk as long as they want without worrying of any charges during incoming calls. The company also clarified that it has not received any communication from sectoral regulator TRAI regarding the roaming scheme. BSNL has announced this scheme with the consent of Minister of Communications & IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad who himself had announced it in a press conference held on June 2. TRAI has no objection to it. BSNL had a mobile subscriber base of 7.72 crore as of March-end. Source: The Hindu
