Get free wi-fi with the new BT FON iPad app

Get our BT FON app to access free, unlimited wi-fi on your iPhone, iPod and iPad whenever you’re in range of one of our two million BT FON and BT Openzone UK wi-fi hotspots.

We’ve listened to your feedback from the original BT FON app and we’ve updated this version to make it even easier to set up and use. Just download the app, enter your BT Internet username and password details and connect. It’s that easy!

You’ll know you’re logged in when the green drop down status bar shows for a few seconds. We’ll even show you on the map all the hotspots in your area, and we’ll automatically update the map as new wi-fi hotspots appear, so you’ll always know where your nearest hotspot is.

Using the app for the first time

It’s now even easier to download the app and get started. Watch the BT Care video:

Or follow these quick instructions:

1. Download and open the app and then click on ‘I’m a BT broadband customer’
2. Type in your BT internet email address and password
3. When you’re in a BT FON or BT Openzone hotspot for the first time, click on Settings on your iPhone or iPad home screen, then wi-fi and choose BT FON or BT Openzone (you only need to do this the first time you use it)
4. Open the BT FON wi-fi app and you’ll be automatically logged in
5. If you want to connect to your BT Home Hub rather than BT FON, just click Settings on your iPad or iPhone menu screen, select wi-fi and choose your BT Home Hub

If there are any problems, or if you want to get in touch, use the ‘contact us’ button in the app.

Every time you use the app

1. Make sure your wi-fi is enabled and you’re in range of a BT wi-fi hotspot. Your iPhone or iPad will automatically connect to BT FON or BT Openzone because you will have connected previously
2. Open the app and you’ll be logged in to start using your free, unlimited wi-fi
3. Remember, for the best browsing experience at home, click Settings on your iPhone or iPad menu screen, select wi-fi, then click on your BT Home Hub

That’s it! Just download and connect for free wi-fi at over 2 million hotspots throughout the UK.
