Telekom's new nationwide Wi-Fi network will provide users the opportunity to use the internet safely outside their homes without any data limitation or excess charge, in nearly 2000 localities in Hungary and in some 20 countries worldwide over Fon’s Wi-Fi network.
In exclusive cooperation with its partner Fon, Magyar Telekom is establishing Hungary's largest Wi-Fi network with the help of digital home gateway devices located in the homes of its fixed line broadband Internet subscribers.
In addition, Telekom is going to integrate the hundreds of thousand hotspots established this way, into the world’s largest Wi-Fi network. Telekom Wi-Fi Fon hotspots, as opposed to public hotspots, provide quality, reliable and safe broadband Wi-Fi connection for users, also away from their homes.
Using the service is quite simple: To all Telekom fixed line internet subscribers with a digital home gateway enabled for Wi-Fi Fon service an user name and a password will be delivered in a direct mail.
After the launch of the Telekom Fon Basic Service, subscribers of already existing mobile broadband Next XL and newly purchased Next S, M, as well as Music S, M and XS tariff packages will also be granted the national Wi-Fi network access automatically and free of charge as well.
In addition, with the Telekom Fon Premium Service, subscribers of Travel & Surf S, M and L roaming data tariff packages, as well as EU 100 and EU Plusz roaming options will be able to connect free of charge to nearly 20 million Fon hotspots worldwide in 20 countries during the validity period of packages, over the global Wi-Fi network of Fon and its partners. ■
