wifi for everyone

This September, we’re tweeting promo codes for 50% off the Fonera 2.0n. Look for one promo code on the Fon Twitter each week.

50% off the Fonera 2.0n

Follow Fon!

Each promo code only works once. So, as soon as you see the tweet, you must be the first person to use the code at the Fon Shop to get the discount. If the code does not work, someone caught the code before you did. Please try again next week!

(Pssst! Want three more chances to catch the code? Check the Spanish, French and FONcare Twitter accounts. One promo code will be sent from each of these accounts sometime during the month as well.)

Tweeted codes are only valid in the U.S., Canada and the E.U. and for the first person to use the code.

Free shipping in August

Gear up for more WiFi with free standard shipping to the U.S., Canada, and most of Europe from FON. Just place an order for any Fonera router (or Fontenna) between now and the end of August and we’ll pay for standard shipping to your door.

Order soon for best selection!

This offer applies to orders placed online through fon.com. The offer is valid until August 31, 2010 and applies to orders placed in the U.S., Canada and most of Europe. Norway, Switzerland and the Canary Islands are not included in the promotion.

We are big fans of TED, a small nonprofit devoted to “ideas worth spreading”. There was a lot of buzz about FON at TED in 2006, and this year we are back with an exclusive Fonera SIMPL promo for TEDsters attending TEDGlobal this week in Oxford. The Fonera SIMPL is our newest, 802.11n WiFi router not yet available to most of the general public.

We want to thank TED for giving us the opportunity to include this sneak peek Fonera promotion in TED’s world-famous gift bag.

We also want to remind all TEDsters to redeem their Fonera SIMPL promo code online before August 1st. If you do not have broadband at home, or already have FON, please feel free to pass your promo onto a friend, family member or small business owner in your neighborhood. You could even tweet your unused code (valid only once). Afterall, FON is an idea worth spreading.

The University of Lugano and the University of Applied Sciences of Southern Switzerland, with financing from the Swiss National Science Foundation, are conducting a Wi-Com research project with the aim to better understand what motivates people to join and participate in a wireless community. As part of the project they will carry out interviews with 40 FON members in Switzerland. If you are or have been a Fonero, your contribution would be of great value to their research and very much appreciated.
If you are living in Switzerland and would be available for an interview of about 30 minutes (all data will remain confidential), please write to Anna Picco Schwendener, PhD researcher at the University of Lugano, at anna.picco.schwendener@usi.ch.
