To give tough competition to the other telecom operators in the country, stated-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has launched two services namely Mobil TV service Ditto TV and Limited fixed-mobile telephony (FMT) app that virtually turns mobiles into a cordless phone in sync with landlines within home premises.
BSNL said that the latest limited Fixed Mobile Telephony (FMT) service is different from the contentious Fixed Mobile Telephony service which has announced earlier, but remains closed following an intense opposition from cellular operators.

BSNL Chairman and Managing Director Anupam Shrivastava told, “The previous Service Tolerable customers on roaming in India and overseas to connect their landlines through mobile and make calls through. But this service is restricted within the home premises.”
“I didn’t anticipate any objection to this limited service. To get this service, users must have BSNL’s landline, mobile and broadband connection,” he added.
Shrivastava said, “Landline subscribers find it difficult to get the contact details from mobiles and then dial the number on fixed line. This service will turn the mobile handset into a cordless device within the home premises. By this, consumers can still get the attractive landline tariffs of BSNL like free calls on Sundays and night time calling.”
