\nThe new system would help BSNL subscribers retrieve their contact numbers in case of losing the cell phone.
\n“More than the cost of the handset, what hurts a person the most on losing a mobile phone is the loss of his or her contacts. But they don’t have to bother any longer if they subscribe to our newly launched service, provided at a nominal cost of Re.1 a day,” BSNL general manager of Bhopal circle Mahesh Shukla said.
\nMost of the mobile service providers are now focusing on value-added services to attract maximum number of customers, and this is one of them, he said.
\n“However, they would be able to retrieve only phone book numbers at present, and not the other things like music, photos and videos,” Shukla said. To activate the service, GPRS subscribers would be required to send an SMS typing ‘SUB’ or ‘HELP’ to 58989 or they can also access it at minv.bsnl.onmobile.com
\nBSNL has set a target of providing 80,000 new GSM mobile connections, 10,900 landline connections and 9,500 broadband connections by March 31, 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
