jen Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Just seen that orange fr do various passes for wifi connection from an hour to a month for 19 euros, anyone used these - and are the hotspots easy to connect to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Can't see any reason why connecting to an Orange WiFi hotspot should be more difficulty than connecting to any other, Usually it's no more than a user ID and PW with perhaps a bit of preliminary personal information in the first instance. Bogus works 99/100 and my personal nom de plume of choice is Joe Bloggs with an email address of [email protected], Finding the Hotspots in the first place could be the bigger hurdle.Have you got a link to their offers and particularly a map of where the Hotspots are ?

AnOther Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 Do they do anything like BT's FON ?I would guess probably not as there is no facility in a Livebox for allocating a public WiFi slot for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 There is for the livebox pro but not for the domestic version.Orange business customers with a livebox pro can create a wifi hotspot.http://www.orange-wifi.com/operations/comment.htmDanny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnOther Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Seems the ideal solution to the thorny problem of guest access for Gite owners etc, how does one qualify for a Livebox Pro or can you buy it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 You just sign up for a professional account instead.http://abonnez-vous.orange.fr/pro/forfaits/hdTelPro.aspx?idnode=299http://abonnez-vous.orange.fr/pro/forfaits/hautDebitPro.aspx?idnode=305it is more expensive than the products aimed at the home market.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Only problem is.....it is not free for those using the wifi so not really useful for gite owners etc.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
