Even after following the complete process to connect to the Free WiFi appropriately, you might not get connected. To resolve the issue, the best thing you can do is to contact their customer service. You can call on the default customer care number of BSNL, i.e., 1800-180-1503.

An alternative to this is by entering any URL randomly that will redirect you to connect you to the WiFi. In this way, you can try again to receive the PIN and get connected to the WiFi. Not just that, you can check out the internet speed from their website.

Final Verdict:

BSNL has been struggling to retain customers after the launch of Jio in India. However, they are coming up with a great initiative to attract customers. The WiFi is not entirely free to use; rather, it will have a particular limit. To overcome this, BSNL has integrated the option to top-up the data services. The rural and urban areas have different top-up plans starting at ₹25 and ₹10 respectively.
