Telenor Klik: Free Internet Access Courtesy of Opera
Opera Software, the Norwegian software developer we all know to be behind the popular Opera web browser, has recently announced that it struck a deal with carrier Telenor to offer Telenor users in Montenegro free access to the web.

To activate Telenor Klik, users need only send an SMS message to the number 1455 with the text “KLIK.” Telenor will reply with a message that says Klik has been activated; the message contains a link to download Opera Mini. Once the user installs Opera Mini on his mobile device, he will be able to browse the web for free – until the end of January 2011 that is. Yes, Telenor Klik is a limited-time promo that runs until the end of January, 2011.
