BTFon query

I have a new phone and in trying to get to grips with its complexities - I have picked up a BTFon WIFI signal - that appears to be received at an astounding 39Mbps - if true ??

Anyway - Can someone please set my mind at rest - Am I going to be billed for this by Tmobile or is it free to use under my contract (a Pay Monthly account) ?

I can find no mention of it on my on-line account and assume that if I was expected to pay - my phone would not have just automatically logged on ??

    If it let you on, then I suspect the owener has not set an access key . If you had got on via FON, the speed is usually restricted.

    So - are you saying that I should not have access to BTFON ?
    According to on-line searches - BTFON costs £'s - could it be that Tmobile are using BTFON ?

    You need to log into it to use BTFON. If you try and connect, the webpage will default to the BTFON log in page. If you are a BT Total Broadband customer, you can access it free of charge, same as BT openzone, otherwise its pay as you go internet access.

    Edit - crossed posts, good to know tmobile customers can access it free too
    Debt free and staying that way! :beer:

    They can try to charge me for something that was not restricted in access in any way - but won't get very far !!
    I have to download some software to give me login details and an account
