The answer to why they are offering such a scheme lies here -
COAI
MTNL has lagged way behind private operators in subscriber numbers inspite of having reasonable rates. Catching subscribers young is the way to go as most people don't change their subscriber/ cell number too fast..
MTNL's rates are far from being reasonable. In Mumbai, both Airtel and Hutch offer prepaid rates which are much lower than Trump. With Hutch you can activate h2h @ 30p offer and m2m @ 99p so that your calling becomes at 30p ( onnet ) and 1 re ( offnet ). While with airtel the basic calling is 1 re to any mobile phone. With MTNL onnet calling is at 90p and offnet at Rs1.5 which is WAY WAY higher than the other operators. MTNL's SMS rates are reasonable but thats hardly their USP.
MTNL's network is improving but I mean they really don't offer good value for money, atleast in Mumbai.

Hello Guys and gals,I wish to confirm something regarding this vidyarthi connection. I'm a resident of Ghaziabad,Up. Since the town is very close to Delhi, I'm studying in Delhi and commute daily from home. The service-providers in ghaziabad is BSNL and that in Delhi is MTNL. I wish to know that if i take this connection whether the connection will include Ghaziabad in its roaming area or what.secondly what are the call rates from MTNL to BSNL landline.

Guys I have been using this student scheme since its launch. I am very happy with the service and tariff.I left Reliance becuase of this incredibly cheap offer wherein I get unlimited calls to Mtnl network both landlines and mobiles, cdma and gsm.All my local sms are free of cost and STD sms@50 paise.All calls cost Re.1.Earlier the Student Recharge which is worth Rs.310 gave Rs. 50 Talk Time now it has been increased to Rs.100
