    Wi-Fi

    Print
     
    Wireless, on-the-go internet connectivity
    Wi-Fi allows you to connect wirelessly to the internet on your laptop or PDA
    through radio waves in designated areas called Wi-Fi hotspots. If you've everbeen stuck somewhere outside the office with your laptop but no access to the internet, you'll know how frustrating it is!

    Best of all, Wi-Fi subscription is free to all iBurst customers! If you're already a subscriber, consider yourself the proud owner of Wi-Fi! If not, have a look
    at our packages and subscribe!
     
    How does Wi-Fi work?

    It's as easy as 1-2-3!
    1. You'll need a Wi-Fi ready Laptop or PDA. If yours doesn't have a Wi-Fi card, you can buy one at most PC stores.
    2. Get yourself an iBurst package (if you don't already have one) and download the Connection Manager to run iBurst Wi-Fi from your laptop or PDA. You'll also need to buy a voucher to get started. Buy these through MyBurst or your connection manager.
    3. Find yourself a Wi-Fi hotspot. Hotspots are areas that have access to the Wi-Fi network. You'll find in them in airports, coffee shops, hotels, shopping centres – all over the place (650 local and 110 000
      international hotspots including Wireless G hotspots !)
    4. Please note that the only way to access a WirelessG hotspot is by using the Connection Manager. Follow these simple steps to connect: download the connection manager, install the connection manager and connect!
    5. The Connection Manager is only compatible with Microsoft Windows. Mac and Linux are not supported

     


    Using Wi-Fi overseas


    Wi-Fi is available abroad – and best of all you'll be charged a flat rate in Rands. No more expensive overseas charges while travelling!
    Get even more out of Wi-Fi by saving on telephone costs! Use our voice service, iCall™ and pay in Rands (or call another iCall number for free) even while travelling.

    How much will it cost me?

    The subscription will be free to iBurst subscribers – all you'll need to pay for
    is the data you use. This is charged at a flat rate  – locally the rate is R0.86 per meg, and R1.50 per minute for international – you pay-as-you-go so you'll know exactly how much you're spending!
