How it works?

Citizens with any valid Indian mobile number will be able to access the public Wi-Fi by switching on Wi-Fi in their devices. On selecting the public Wi-Fi, a one-time password (OTP) will be sent to their mobile number. Once the password authentication process is completed, they can then latch on to the Wi-Fi and enjoy internet services.

The service is ‘free’ only for the first 20 minutes, and those who wish to continue using the Wi-Fi will have to purchase recharge cards. The recharge cards will be available at Rs 30 for 30 minutes.
