FON Raises $13 Million!

I am happy to announce that we have raised another $13 million dollars (for a total of around $35 million raised since our incorporation in Feb 06). Funds were raised from a combination of current investors including Martin Varsavsky and 4 new strategic investors whose identities we will disclose soon.

Proceeds of the round will be used for R&D, growing the number of Foneros, and a huge raise for our English blogger (ok maybe not the last one). We’re already present in over 80 countries and this new funding will allow us to pursue many of the great ideas everyone has shared!

Hi Paul - we're not announcing who the new investors are yet. As soon as I'm allowed I'll post the information here.

Can someone please add me as their fonero friend so I can receive the Fonero Special Router, please.
I can't order one because my country isn't listed on the "Buy Fonero" page. The only way I can get fonero is if someone adds me as a friend.
My email is stefan.neagu@gmail.com and my Fone ID is neasteflorin.
Thanks!:-)
Share Fonero!

I'm from Graciosa Island from Azores Islands Portugal, and there aren't any fonera registered in my island because of it I don't have any friends to send me an friend invitation to get a free fonera, can anyone please send me an invitation?

I would like to have a fonera registered in my island.
