How To Get BSNL 4G SIM Online
To get a BSNL 4G SIM card, you’ll need to visit a BSNL store in person. Unfortunately, there’s no official option to order a BSNL 4G SIM online like some private service providers offer.
Here are the steps to upgrade your existing BSNL SIM to 4G:
- Visit a BSNL Store: Locate a BSNL customer service center, franchisee office, retail store, or DSA (Direct Selling Agent) near you.
- Carry KYC Documents: When you visit the store, make sure to carry your Aadhaar card or other valid address proof documents. These are required for the digital KYC process.
- Upgrade to 4G: Request a 4G SIM upgrade. BSNL offers this service for free. Once upgraded, you’ll be able to access 4G internet in select locations.
Remember that BSNL is working on rolling out its 4G network across the country, and the existing 4G SIMs will be capable of handling next-generation wireless networks.
The processing time for a new BSNL SIM card can vary, but typically, you’ll receive it within 24 to 48 hours after completing the necessary formalities at a BSNL store. Keep in mind that this estimate might change based on local factors and the workload at the specific store. If you need it urgently, it’s best to visit the store in person. 📱
What documents are required for a new BSNL SIM?
To obtain a new BSNL SIM card, you’ll need to visit a BSNL store in person. Here are the steps and the documents you’ll need:
1. Unique Porting Code (UPC):
If you’re porting your existing number to BSNL, generate a Unique Porting Code (UPC) by sending an SMS in the format “PORT <10-digit mobile number>” to 1900. For Jammu and Kashmir prepaid users, call 1900 instead of sending an SMS.
2. KYC Documents:
- Identity Proof: Carry your Aadhaar card or any other valid identity proof.
- Address Proof: Provide an address proof document (e.g., Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, etc.).
- Photographs: Bring passport-sized photographs.
- Application Form: You may be asked to fill out an application form at the BSNL store.
3. Payment:
Be prepared for any nominal fees associated with the SIM card.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you’ll receive your new BSNL SIM card. Remember that BSNL is working on rolling out its 4G network across the country, and existing 4G SIMs will be capable of handling next-generation wireless networks. Enjoy your new BSNL connection! 📲🌐
