Find a Vodafone WLAN Hotspot
Not all Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) are public, and even when they
are, they only offer small coverage areas, known as "hotspots". So, if you want
to use WLAN, you will have to find a hotspot first.
The Vodafone Mobile Connect software contains a database of all the WLAN
hotspots run by or for your mobile network operator
*
. Use this software to find
the hotspots and then get connected. In most cases, you can pay for the WLAN
service in these hotspots via your normal mobile phone account.
Find Hotspot button
To find the address of a hotspot, click on the button labelled "Find Hotspot", at
the top of the Vodafone Mobile Connect software window. You will see a
window which contains various criteria that you can use to narrow down your
search.
You can see further details about a particular hotspot, e.g. the full address, by
selecting the hotspot in the Search Results window and clicking on the "Details"
button.
Tip:
The Vodafone Mobile Connect software will notify you when you are in a
WLAN hotspot.
* Note: WLAN is not supported by all mobile network operators.
