Swedish, Finnish and Danish Foneros - free La Fonera

Between now and Christmas Swedish, Finnish and Danish foneros can get their foneras for free at FON!

When you access the site it will state the cost is 29.95 euros. However when you go to the Swedish, Danish and Finnish shops the fonera is FREE for those countries. No credit card information is required. We do ask you to promise to be a good fonero, it is a promise, not a contract. All you need to do is agree that you will keep your fonera on or else pass it on to another fonero who says he/she will.

La Fonera Shipments

I want to apologize to the over 20,000 Foneros who are waiting to receive their Foneras. We are shipping out 5,000 this week and another 5,000 the week after. We then expect another 10,000 to go out in 3 weeks. We're manufacturing Foneras as fast as we can but so far demand has exceeded supply.

Thank you for your patience, we expect to be caught up with shipments in about 3 weeks.
