Cloud wifi

chicken_crazy

Does anyone have any idea's on how to access 'the cloud' free of charge (or reduced rates) - mcdonalds/weatherspoons advertise 'free access' but I'm unable to as I don't have a pass word etc.. its really annoying as I have joined bt fon and get 500 mins free a month but don't seem to be able to use them- as I'm not in the right locations- everywhere seems to be 'the cloud'?
Anyone else had this problem?
thanks

When you go to McDonalds you open an internet explorer window and it should automatically pick up their login page. Fill it in once and you get free access everytime with no fuss.

Look for BT Fon hotspots first?

Found this statement:

BT Openzone-Cloud roaming deal comes to an end
Friday 26 September 2008 15:10:25 by John Hunt

The Register is reporting that BT Openzone and The Cloud customers will have less hotspots to connect to from Thursday following the end of a roaming deal between the two companies. The Cloud is offering BT Openzone users 30 days free Wi-Fi if they take out a subscription to try and win some customers from the ending of the BT agreement.

"It's disappointing for BT Openzone customers that they will no longer be able to benefit from the convenience of our hotspots - we are disappointed that BT could not reach acceptable commercial terms, though we are certain everyone will understand that our service partners, O2, Orange, AT&T, iPass and many others are happy to do business with The Cloud."
