Free WLL Phone for BSNL Landline Customers

 

BSNL offers one rent free WLL connection to its Land Line customers.

Oh. It is a good news. The world is going mobile. We cannot live without a mobile phone these days. It seems BSNL too has noticed this. It has come with an attractive offer. You will get a free WLL (Wireless in Local Loop) mobile free. If  I am not wrong, it uses the CDMA technology whose voice quality is superior to GSM.

The best part it is rent free. If you own a landline and pays proper rent for it, you get one free of rent. But your average monthly bill should be Rs. 500 otherwise you are not eligible.

Don’t fancy a WLL mobile ? you can choose and additional rent free landline instead. The whole point is to retain the customers which it is loosing very badly to private players.

Got myself one of those. It is ok. It is a basic phone with normal features. Try grabbing one, after all you need not pay for that.

Shaplus Bandwidth meter

Shaplus bandwidth meter is one of the most reliable tools out there which help users save themselves from huge bills. Most ISPs do not update the usage on a real time basis. BSNL has the worst record in this case. Your usage may take 2 –5 days to appear in usage details portal.

It also helps when there is a downtime for usage portals. Due to billing activities and maintenance, portals may not be available for general public.

An independent bandwidth meter shows usage on a real time basis. That is as and when we use it. Use it for an hour and after that check how much bandwidth is consumed.

Let us peep into a few good features provided.

1.Simple and quiet one.

2. One click access to session, today and monthly statistics.

 

 

      

3. It can be disabled during Night Unlimited.

4. Free to select the interface we wish to monitor.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Review monthly totals in MB or GB as selected by user.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Accurate. For last month the difference between portal value and Shaplus was just + 20 MB.

7. Can show values in KB or MB according to our choice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Can run automatically at start up.

9. Can set transparency.

10. Can disable flash and images in IE. Very useful for limited bandwidth users. If images and flash are disabled pages load quickly and less bandwidth is consumed.

Please be careful. There are some programs which embed IE. If we disable images and flash, those programs also cannot display them.

The feel good factor is on ? Download it and give it a try.
