BSNL - CellOne, Location Based Services and Mobile Dating

Till date, Value Added Services on mobiles comprised of music, wallpapers, ringtones, messaging(SMS, MMS,etc.). Not anymore. State owned BSNL will go live with different Value Added Services like, Location Based Services, Mobile Advertising and Mobile Dating, Yeh! you heard that right :-)

Late May, we had this prediction that different cellcos will roll out value added services within the next two quarters and BSNL has taken the lead. In a press release, BSNL said that the services are under testing and are likely to be offered to CellOne customers pretty soon. The good news is BSNL has published the rates for all these services. You can now find your cargo truck for a fixed monthly rental of Rs 60 plus a SMS query fees of few paises or go Mobile Dating at just Rs 1.0.
