Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has offered an extension to its so-called free dial-up internet surfing facility to subscribers until December 2008. This is the company's 'account-free' Calling Line Identification (CLI) based 'Net One' dial-up internet service. This means, if you use a BSNL landline, you need not pay anything to get started on the internet. To start surfing: 1. Connect your telephone jack to your PC or laptop. 2. Initiate a dial-up connection with the access code 172222. 3. Enter a username (STD code without zero + your telephone number), followed by a password of your choice. Once you're connected, you will be charged only for the local calls -- Pulse rate@450 seconds from 0730-2230 and 900 seconds from 2230-0730. You'll receive the Internet bill along with your telephone bill. We aren't sure whether we should recommend any of the BSNL helpline numbers (they seldom work) to obtain more details on this subject. In the mean time, you could visit the BSNL website for your respective state (click here) for more information.
