I’m going to be a Fonero

fon_logo-medium

I know about FON for quite some time now, and I always wanted to share my WiFi and get some free WiFi in return. But somehow I just never got a FON-router.

I was just browsing through XING premium world and I discovered the free FON-router offering. So I spent some minutes (and some extra minutes due to a sucky registration form which didn’t want to accept my street for five times, because of an error named “You must enter a valid address number”) to get a free La Fonera. 

I’m curious if it’s as easy as FON promises and if the sunrise terms of service allow such usage (I haven’t read them and I’m not going to).

PS: The XING-offering is limited to 2000 pieces. So if you’re a XING premium member, I’d get this free router better sooner than later ;-).

Update:

I got a request how I resolved the “You must enter a valid address number” problem and I want to answer it in public: I just tried different kinds of address combinations and different addresses. One time the street name with house number, one time street name without house number, one time street name plus additional street information (just fill something in) etc. When I remember correctly the time it worked I filled out every input field, i.e. street name plus house number, additional street information, the house number separately, the floor etc. Remember: You can enter every rubbish, because you can edit the information (especially the shipping and invoice addresses) later on in the cart. Have fun!

To be officially clear about it: That sucks! So if a FON-techie or other FON-guy reads this: Please fix the form or get the form fixed!
