Exactly! I'm looking at you, Delhi Airport! The f'n morons advertise "free wifi! free wifi!!" everywhere, but when you actually want to use it, they demand a phone number to send an SMS message. Are the people in charge there really that clueless??
- vedtopkar 8y agoI got burned by this exactly a couple of years ago. Flight into Delhi was delayed, desperately needed wifi to communicate with my ride upon arrival, but no wifi without an active SIM card. Infuriating.
- blntechie 8y agoKnowing India, it's probably Government mandated for what they call 'security reasons'. It's hard to get free WiFi or internet without providing a phone number in India.
- pandler 8y agoYeah sounds pretty typical of India in my experience. Can’t get WiFi unless you have a sim
- ryanlol 8y agoThe admin login for the panel where you can turn off SMS auth for delhi airport wifi is “admin:admin” or something very similar IIRC.
- selectodude 8y agoThat’s just the law in a lot of countries. I’d have to eat the 50 cents a lot and just receive an international SMS.
- londons_explore 8y agoSome won't even allow an international phone number. They demand a local phone number... Have fun with that...
