The Fon network in Brazil is formed by Oi Fon WiFi hotspots. Here is all you need to know so you can connect to our network in Brazil as a Fon Visitor.
Fon Visitors can use the service thanks to Fon Passes, and can get access using two different ways:
- seemlessly using the Fon WiFi app (for any information, please visit Fon WiFi app help center)
- manually through a hotspot login page (following the below steps)
Note: The pass sale on Oi Fon WiFi hotspots is entirely managed by Oi. For any related inquiry, please contact Oi support team.
1. First time Fon Visitors (not already registered)
First pass purchase
If you wish to purchase a pass for the first time, look to see if a WiFi signal "Oi WiFi Fon" is in range of your device and if so, connect to it.
Open your web browser and wait for the Oi Fon login page to load. If it doesn't, type any web address, i.e."www.bbc.com" into your browser's address bar.
Click on "Create Account" / "Cadastre-se".
Choose your country (país) in the drop-down menu and introduce your postal code (CPF).
Introduce your name (nome), email, choose a password (senha) and a secret question/answer.
Once the account has been created, you'll be able to choose a 1 hour (1 hora), 1 day (1 dia) or 30 days (30 dias) pass, and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the purchase.
Note: if you have difficulties completing this process, please contact Oi support team.
