Shimla, October 3: THE Bharat Sanchar Nigam limited (BSNL) today rolled out fresh plans for Himachal Pradesh to upgrade telecom services — in both mobile and fixed lines categories — and offered to extend closed group dialer??? facility to other categories of professionals and government servants. At a ceremony to launch its pre-paid facility for the fixed lines category, Shri Kant Sharma, chief general manager of the Himachal circle, said here that BSNL had created a world record by having 31,000 mobile subscribers benefiting under the closed group dialer??? facility. Initially, the package was proposed only for 20,000 subscribers.The facility is currently available only to the state government servants and would soon be extended to other categories of professionals. Moved by its success, we are going to create a new group for the government servants and employees of PSUs,??? the CGM told a press conference here today.

Sharma said the BSNL would shortly go for two new services for mobile phone users. These include location-based applications (LBA) and missed-call alerts. Under LBA, private companies will be allowed to communicate with subscribers to inform them about the facilities available with them.
