Want a VIP BSNL number? Here’s how to get it via auction

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (popularly known as BSNL), India’s state-run telecom provider, is offering a chance to buy a new VIP or fancy mobile number for themselves. The online auction for vanity numbers could take place from the official website, and the price might range between Rs 2,000 to Rs 50,000, which depends on the number's uniqueness.

This move is not only a customer-friendly offering but is also expected to boost BSNL’s revenue.

If you are someone who enjoys a unique mobile number or wants to stand out, you can follow these steps:

1. Visit the official BSNL vanity number portal: https://eauction.bsnl.co.in/auction3/index.aspx?id=77
2. Select your state and zone accordingly.
3. Browse through the available normal and fancy numbers.
4. Choose your desired number and click on "Reserve Number."
5. Enter your mobile number to receive an OTP.
6. Once you receive the 7-digit PIN, it will remain valid for 4 days.
7. Visit your nearest BSNL customer service centre and pay the applicable fee to activate your chosen number.

Important guidelines for booking your VIP numbers
