BSNL or Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited is offering one-month rental service on select connections purchased through social media. A limited-period offer, BSNL's scheme is applicable on bookings of its landline, broadband and FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) services made via Twitter and Facebook. This was said by BSNL on microblogging site Twitter. "Now you can book our services through Twitter and get 1 month free rental. Hurry, Limited period offer!" BSNL said.
