raccoon 53 Report post Posted October 21, 2004 (edited) Its for landline users I believe. When it was put up on their website I'd called up their (BSNL) helpdesk for details ...and they didn't know a thing about it! Check out the details on their site - www.bsnl.co.in Edited October 21, 2004 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
