FON on the go

Some Linuses have been wondering if they will be able to connect to access points in other countries? The answer is YES. One of the most incomprehensible policies of major operators like Vodafone, Orange and T Mobile is precisely their roaming policy. In an open border Europe and a global internet without borders, these operators over-charge you as soon as you step out of your country. Our plan is to have FON in as many countries as possible and enable FON members to connect wherever they are.

Imagine you live in Spain and you go for the weekend to Paris and receive calls to your Spanish landline number on your WiFiFon. Well, the person calling you will pay what he/she pays for a call to a landline number in Spain (or nothing if the person uses a flat fee calling plan) and you don't pay any roaming charge when receiving that call in Paris. But there's more: all your calls to other WiFiFONS are free and all other calls are at very competitive rates similar to Skype rates.

Hello,

I sent e-mail asking info to how can I help to:
- Translate the web site do Brazilian Portuguese
- Help to Create the FON in Brazil
- To start the first Linus net here.

I'm ordering my FIRST Linksys AP and I'll install next week, I guess...

I hope to receive any information.

Best

Anyone have any experience with using the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet to make phone calls with Skype?

Should work.
