So you don't pay for anything? Not even shipping and what not?

dgridley · 02-04-2007, 12:08 PM

Correct.. all you have to do is agree to hook up the router and become part of the Fonera network.

Please note that to become a Fonero, you need to convert your existing Internet connection into a FON Access Point.

Once your FON Access Point is properly installed and registered, you will be able to share your WiFi with the rest of the FON Community and choose what you want, either free WiFi roaming worldwide or revenue generated by your FON Access Point.

Does that mean I have to drop my currrent ISP?

dgridley · 02-04-2007, 12:18 PM

Not as far as I know.. I think it just allows you and others to access the Net thru your connection.. you become an access point in the Fon network and get revenue for that access. They do say that if you don't use it to please give it to someone who will.

Yep, US residents only. Seems like the rest of the world have to pay

You can check this by going to the checkout and then choosing your country from the menu at the bottom of the page. Selecting the UK brings the same Router up at £29.99 - no freebie here!

Robert Allen · 02-04-2007, 01:51 PM

Only free for US users, UK users cannot get the device.

Syngenetic · 02-04-2007, 01:56 PM

I just ordered, and I am being charge 29.99 for shipping and I live in U.S I emailed saying cancel my order!

moneyballs2 · 02-04-2007, 02:06 PM

I tried to enter the promo code in the uk version and it doesn't exist. USA get all the good free stuff. lol. i might move there...

dgridley · 02-04-2007, 04:07 PM

Are you sure your invoice didn't show a "-" in front of the amount? The invoice they send looks a little confusing but there's no charge. The invoice shows "-$29.95". There should be a followup email as well. Worked fine for me.

Sorry about the US Only.. I don't control it! I assumed as it's a worldwide service, shipping would be international as well.

I find this very interesting I like the idea but I do have some concerns with it.

By being part of the FON community you are sharing your connection with other members, as this is how it works. The problem comes if someone access your point to abuse the net say send thousands of Spam messages your ISP more then like will hold you responsible for their actions.

I would use this with great caution.

Just to let everyone know I received the free WiFi router this morning via Fedex. No charge, no hassle. Hope some of the rest of you were able to get in on this when I posted it.

Syngenetic · 02-12-2007, 02:21 PM

Guys I canceled earlier, but I was still shipped, I found out it was free too. I just got it earlier today.. thanks bro!

dgridley · 02-12-2007, 02:27 PM

Cool! Glad you were able to get it!

Just ordered =) Seems like a pretty neat thing =)

dgridley · 02-12-2007, 09:28 PM

Just be aware opening your internet to public access may violate your ISP's TOS.. best to check before you actually use it. Would be great for a business to get and offer WiFi access to customers.. gonna see if Arby's might be interested in this one.

FON also has promoted in my country, but you need to pay for the router.

dgridley · 02-12-2007, 11:20 PM

I think everyone needs to move to the US so they can take advantage of the freebies I post here and on my blogs!

Received mine yesterday

radiotec · 02-21-2007, 02:30 PM

I did see another FON related post sometime back and that one worked for USA / CANADA and the UK.

I got mine under promo here in spain and it works great. To correct some thoughts you can share your connection in 3 ways.

a) You share it FOC so that any other FON Member can use it ...
b) Share it so that all people have to pay to use it...
c) Share it where fon users can access it and Joe Public Pay .

In all payment cases FON and the Router Owner (Fon Member) split the revenue.

It sure does work very well.
