Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) currently offers its customers the choice of getting a VIP number (premium number, fancy number, vanity number) easily. VIP numbers are easy to remember and have a special set of number combinations.
The company offers VIP phone numbers in both postpaid and prepaid configurations. These premium numbers are segregated into different patterns depending on their sequence of repetition and representation. Then they are categorised into three different categories, which set the base bidding prices.
These VIP numbers are aimed at providing users with a simpler community identity from others.
