Detel ties up with BSNL bringing lucrative voice and data offers this New Year

New Delhi: Feature phone brand, Detel Mobiles and Accessories on Tuesday announced its partnership with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL), extending their vision of 'Connecting the unconnected' by Minister of Communication, Manoj Sinha.

Detel and BSNL, which has its footprints across India, share the common ideology of 'Connecting India'.
