AP BSNL Discount Recharge Voucher

To compete with the private telecom operators, who are offering full/double talk time on topups, BSNL introduced discount recharge RC200 of M.R.P Rs.200/-

Name may be little confusing, but what its meaning is you will get a talk value of Rs.205/- with validity 30 days, which can be used only for making voice calls.

Call charges will be according to your current plan, but the amount will be deducted from your RC200 balance. 

If you want to carry over your unused RC200 balance, you have to make similar recharge within 30 days of your last RC200 recharge.

It is available through Easy Recharge. You can check your RC200 balance  by dialing  *126#


Note: Discount Recharge RC200 has been withdrawn by AP BSNL.

AP BSNL My Service Portal

BSNL has a less known, My Service Portal, where mobile users can login with their mobile numbers, to configure their phones.

Two services are provided online,
