What
is Air-Net?
Air-Net,
as its name suggests, brings you fast broadband
internet access through the air.
Now you can get instant wireless broadband internet
access in lots of locations
around the world just as you would in your
home or office. The only difference – you
don’t need any phone or network cables to
connect to the internet – it's wireless.
So it works like a mobile or cell phone. But instead
of making a phone call without wires, you access
the internet without wires.
There is no need to take modem cables and phone
adaptors with you when you travel at home or abroad.
Simply find an Air-Net
HotSpot, switch on your wireless or Wi-Fi
enabled Laptop Computer, Personal Digital Assistant
(PDA) or Phone, and instantly pick up our wireless
internet signal. A few clicks later you will be
surfing the web or downloading files and emails
at broadband speeds. It’s that simple.
Nearly
all new laptop computers, Personal Digital
Assistants (PDA) and a growing number of Mobile
and Cell phones are wireless or ‘wi-fi’
enabled. This means that they can pick up
the Air-Net wireless signal in any of our
HotSpots and quickly establish your internet
connection.
With the growing use of Voice over IP telephone
calls Air-Net offers users the ability to
‘take’ their phone number with
them when they travel and make calls using
their wireless internet connection.

To get started
simply register
for an Air-Net Global Account. You will be able
to specify the currency in which you would like
to pay for your Global Access. Air-Net Global
accounts can be set up in any US, Canadian and
Australian Dollars, Euro, Sterling and Yen.
Next log into your online account area and add
some credit to your Global Account using either
Credit Card or Pay Pal. You are now ready to book
access on any Air-Net HotSpot. It's that simple.
You can easily have family, friends or employers
send you credit via your Pay Pal account which
can then be transferred into your Air-Net account
balance via the Users area.
As you visit our HotSpots around the world, their
charges will be displayed in your preferred payment
currency regardless of their local payment currency.
All charges are automatically converted into your
own currency and deducted from your Air-Net Global
Account balance when you book access.

Managing
your account online is very easy and intuitive.
The screens are displayed in your own language
and we are adding new languages as our user
base grows. As well as adding credit to your
Air-Net account you can get details on your
usage history, billing history, leave feed
back, get answers to FAQ, and use our ticketing
system to get support from Air-Net or our
partner Hot Spots.

Above all we value our customers' experiences.
We want to set the standard for Global Wireless
Internet Access, and want to hear from you

on how we can improve our service. |
Air-Net is continually adding new HotSpots around
the world giving users more and more places to
access the internet. From small cafes to Multi
National Hotel chains, Air-Net makes Global Roaming
Wireless Internet Access a reality for its users
and HotSpot Partners. |

How
do I access the internet at an Air-Net HotSpot?
When you
create your Air-Net account you will be asked
to enter your email address. This becomes
your unique login id for online User Management
and booking access on Air-Net Hot Spots around
the world. |
|
|
Each Air-Net HotSpot transmits its own Wireless
Internet Signal called the SSID. This will
be something like "White Horse Hotel"
or "Joe's Restaurant". Ask the Hot
Spot owner what their SSID is when you arrive
if you are not aware of it.
Your Wireless enabled Computer, PDA or phone
will pick up the signal and display the SSID
on its Wireless Networks Selection screen.
You can then connect to the Hot Spot's Wireless
Network.
Once connected, open your Internet Browser.
You will automatically arrive at the Hot Spot
Login screen. Enter your login and password
and you will be asked to select the type and
duration of access that you want. Perhaps
you want a fast 1 Mb connection for 10 min's,
or a slower 256kb for three days. You are
then immediately connected to the Internet
and can use the connection until your session
time runs out. |
|
| If
the HotSpot you want to use charges in a currency
that is not your preferred currency the prices
are automatically converted to your currency,
and that amount is deducted from your account
when you book access. |
|
What
if my local currency is not supported, or I can
not pay using Credit Cards or Pay Pal, can I still
access a HotSpot?
Yes, we realise
that not every currency in the world is supported
by electronic payment systems.
All Air-Net HotSpot owners can offer Wi-Fi access
to visitors in their local currency.
Simply pay the HotSpot in their local currency
and you will be given credit at that particular
HotSpot. You can then select your access package
and duration and get instant access.
When you pay locally for HotSpot access you will
can use this credit on any other HotSpots that
are owned by the same owner or operator.
You can have multiple local currency accounts
associated with your login id at different HotSpots
around the world.
Can
other people credit my Air-Net account for me?
Yes, if your parents, friends, or your employer
want to pay for your Wireless Internet access
then they can add credit to your Air-Net account
simply by sending you the money via Pay Pal. You
can then login to your Air-Net account and top-up
from your Pay Pal account.
