I just became a FONero

FON is the largest WiFi community in the world. Our members share their wireless Internet access at home and, in return, enjoy free WiFi wherever they find another Fonero’s Access Point.

It all started as a simple idea. Why should you pay for Internet access on the go when you have already paid for it at home? Exactly, you shouldn’t. So we decided to help create a community of people who get more out of their connection through sharing.

We call members of the FON Community Foneros. It’s simple to become a Fonero. You just need to buy La Fonera, which enables you to securely and fairly share your home broadband connection with other Foneros.

Then when you’re away from home and you need Internet access, just log on to a FON Access Point, and you can use the Internet for free. You don’t need to take your router with you – you just need to remember your Fonero login and password.

Visit our maps and find thousands of FON Access Points worldwide.

As the world of WiFi is growing, you can do more and more for free. For example soon we will launch the Skype FON - a cool WiFi handset that lets you make free Internet calls from any FON Access Point.

Join the FON Community today by ordering La Fonera – a FON Social Router for just €/$ 5. (Offer valid until end of the year)

Yep I ordered my FON Router, for 5 euro and hope it will arrive soon...
I noticed there are a lot of Fonero's in Brussels and I hope many more will follow in Gent.
The nice thing about FON is: you open up your WIFI but only to people who open up theirs to you. So no mis-use. And all is encrypted. ILI.
