i recharged plan of 88 and didn’t know about it then there was no balance in mobile so after that i recharged with 30 Rs but i cant see the balance in mobile.
Change your plan to per minute or per second plan then recharge with 42 or 88 as your desired.
I personally tried out(I was in Nesam gold plan) and it’s works
Dear sir,

please tell me are retailors fraud,or bsnl are fraud .
Better ask from Bsnl customer care. Recharge denomination varies from state to state. Your local Bsnl exchange can give you better details.
When I removed the space between VOICE & 88, it was successful.

I changed my plan from mithram to per minute. When I tried to subscribe STV VOICE 88, a reply message was “Operation failed. Please contact customer care.

Do you mean you are unable to recharge or not getting benefits after recharge?
I recharge my mob for 42 using my debit card.Status shows recharge successfuBut I’m not getting the benefits after recharge
