The Fon network in Portugal is formed by our standard Fon Spots and NOS WiFi Fon hotspots. Here is all you need to know so you can connect to our network in Portugal as a Sharing member.
Sharing members can get access using two different ways:
- seemlessly using a co-branded connecion manager app (only available for our partners customers in Portugal, Belgium, Greece and Poland)
- seemlessly using the Fon WiFi app (only available for active residential Fonera owners)
- manually through a hotspot login page (following the below steps)
1. Sharing members through NOS
If you are a NOS subscriber with the Fon service enabled on your router:
- Look to see if a WiFi signal "FON_ZON_FREE_INTERNET" or "NOS_WIFI_Fon" is in range of your device and if so, connect to it.
- Open your web browser and wait for the NOS Fon login page to load. If it doesn't, type any web address, i.e. "www.bbc.com" into your browser's address bar.
- Insert your Fon username and password and click the blue button "Login".
Once logged in, your session will start.
