Promocode user in Japan

The Fon network in Japan is formed by SoftBank Fon WiFi hotspots. Here is all you need to know so you can connect to our network in Japan as a Fon Visitor.

Fon Visitors can use the service thanks to Promocodes, 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)

 

1. First time Fon Visitors (not already registered) 
• First promocode activation
2. Recurring Fon visitors (already registered) 
• Connection using promocode in course
• Promocode activation

 

1. First time Fon Visitors (not already registered)

First promocode activation

If you wish to activate a promocode for the first time, look to see if a WiFi signal "FON_FREE_INTERNET" is in range of your device and if so, connect to it. 

Open your web browser and wait for the SoftBank 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 "Redeem a promocode - Get it now!". 

Sign up to create your Fon account.

Once the account is created, the following page will appear. Please introduce the promocode and click on the "Redeem" button.

Once your session starts, a timer will be displayed.

 

2. Recurring Fon visitors (already registered)

Connection using promocode in course

If you have activated a promocode previously and you still have remaining connection time and wish to reconnect to the network:

Look to see if a WiFi signal "FON_FREE_INTERNET" is in range of your device and if so, connect to it.

Open your web browser and wait for the SoftBank Fon login page to load. If it doesn't, type any web address, i.e. "www.bbc.com" into your browser's address bar.

Select the "Pass and Fon users" radio button and log in with your username and password (email and password used for creating your Fon account).

Once logged in you will be able to surf directly. If not, it will mean your current promocode has expired and you will be invited to redeem a new promocode.

 

Promocode activation

Look to see if a WiFi signal "FON_FREE_INTERNET" is in range of your device and if so, connect to it.
