Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) may have lagged behind private companies in terms of subscribers, but the company’s VIP numbers are being liked by Indian customers.Â
Recently, a bid of Rs 2.4 lakh has been made for a VIP number of BSNL. This bid has been made by a potato trader from Rajasthan. According to media reports, the number that the trader has bought is XXX7000000. That is, the last seven digits of the number are 7000000.
Let us know that the VIP numbers of BSNL can be purchased through the company’s website. For this, there is a Fancy Numbers Auction category on the website. The special thing is that the bidding for the number XXX7000000 started with only 20 thousand rupees. Slowly increasing the bidding crossed Rs 2 lakh. Then the biggest bid was put by the potato trader of Kota. The businessman’s name is Tanuj Dudeja.
According to the report, the winner has received the VIP number from the BSNL office located in Farrukhabad. According to a report in DNAIndia, this is not the first VIP or fancy number for Dodeja. He had earlier paid Rs 1 lakh for another fancy number.
It is really interesting to see that people are spending lakhs of rupees for a single SIM card. That too, when BSNL is a company that does not even have 4G service. However, if the same number was taken from a private company, it would have been better. Please note that there are more VIP numbers available for bidding on the BSNL website. Let us also tell you that apart from being a VIP phone number, no other special benefit is available with it.
