SignUp procedure for NetOne Account Less Internet Connection ( Postpaid internet connection of Sancharnet )( Available in select cities only )
NetOne is the name for the internet service of BSNL. It has got a unique scheme in which the users can connect to the internet without purchasing an internet connection CD-ROM from a retail shop. So you can surf the net directly from home.To do so first you need to configure your computer. When you pruchase a CD-ROM for internet connection the software in the CD does this configuration so you dont have to do anything. But here you have to do every single step.
Here it is...
1. Find the 'Make New Connection Dialog Box' on your computer.For Windows 98, its in the My Computer > Dial Up Net Working.For Windows Xp, Go to the Control Panel ( In classic view ) Open Network Connections, there you have the New Connection Wizard.
2. The name of the computer to which you are connecting ( ISP ) is : A679Your initial user name is : netone and password is : netone. The number to dial is : 172222Enter these details in the appropriate feilds of the wizard. Remember you are setting up the connection manually and so you have to be really careful when you choose the options. Do not keep clicking the next button without reading what's in the wizard.
3. After the configuration is over connect to the internet using the dialer. Its better to create a shorcut of the dialer to the desktop. the dialer dials and establishes a connection. A active connection is shown by the presence of 2 computers near the system clock.
4. You cannot start browsing yet. Register your connection at your local bsnl website. Its www.netoneenk.bsnl.co.in for ernakulam district. Contact your local telecom center for your local web address ( Or refer to the initial pages of your telephone directory ). Remeber that this facility is available in select cities only.Register your account in this site. You will be asked to give username and password. Give the username as your phone number without the initial zero. ( eg. if your phone no. is 04842520000 give it as 4842520000 ) and give the password you please. Writedown it somewhere safely. Once lost its hard to connect again.
5. NetOne provides a dialer. Download it from that site. Then disconnect.
6. Install the dialer. Run the dialer and give the username and password. Click connect to connet to the internet.
7. Once you are to disconnect, press disconnect from the dialer ( which will be then minimised to the task-bar )
That's it.
Tarrif :This connection charges 10 paise per minute as internet charge. This is excluding the telephone charges. This will be shown as a separate information along with your phone bill. Pulse rate for the call : 7.5 minutes ( 450 seconds ) from 730 hours to 2230 hours and 15 minutes ( 900 seconds ) from 2230 hours to 730 hours.
So if you use for one hour between 730 hours and 2230 hours you willbe charged Rs 6 as internet charge + 8 calls in the telephone bill.Or if you use between 2230 hours and 730 hours you will be charged Rs 6 for intenet charges + 4 calls in the telephone bill.
Note: Internet Connection CD's are avilable at various rates. For eg. for Rs 250/- you will get one year validity and 50 hours of usage time. If you are using the account-less sheme you will have to pay Rs 300/- as intenet charge. So the CD' isi more economical if you are going to use more than 50 hours in an year. Also the CD will contain additional useful and latest software. More than that when you use the internet using the CD you can browse for free from 2230 hours to 730 hours on weekdays, an all sundays and all national holidays. So you will have to pay only the telephone charge during there hours. So definitely th CD looks more economical for users who browse for longer time.
