How To Activate BSNL Sim
Activating a BSNL sim card is a very easy process. Within two days of the buying sim, you will receive an activation SMS to the number you gave while buying the sim. After receiving the SMS,
- Power off your mobile phone.
- Insert the sim card into your mobile phone.
- Now turn on the phone. Wait for a few minutes.
- Now you will need to Dial “1507” or ‘123’ to start the activation process. As Bsnl sim is mainly used in rural areas and people may not be familiar with the activation process so BSNL automatically redirects the first call from the phone to 1507 and once the verification is successful the call will be connected.
- If everything is right then the Tele verification process will start for the activation.
- You will be sometimes asked certain details to verify identity like Date of birth, Name of father, etc.
- Once it is finished your sim will be available to make calls.
If any problem persists call toll-free Bsnl customer care number 1800-180-1503.
