Can I surrender my BSNL mobiles for safe custody, as I am leaving for the USA and stay there for a period of Five months.
BSNL TeleServices says
Safe Custody for Mobile services is not available.
It is to suggest that, just recharge with Rs.36 for three months validity on expiry from anywhere in the world, and If you are a postpaid customer, just migrate to prepaid and recharge with validity.

Please approach your area BSNL CSC/Commercial section and submit your written request for BSNL Safe custody from required date.
