BT offers free mobile Wi-Fi to Total Broadband customers
BT has offered its Total Broadband customers the opportunity to browse the web for free via their Apple and Android mobile phones, by using its Wi-Fi network.

The telecoms giant has 1.6 million hotspots, which subscribers will be able to use at no cost once they download a free mobile application to their handsets.

Once they have done this, customers will simply have to enter their BT email username and password, with the programme then automatically connecting them to its Wi-Fi network whenever they are within range.

A map detailing the location of these hotspots is also included with the app.

Managing director for BT Retail Consumer John Petter commented: "This free app makes accessing Wi-Fi so simple you don't even have to think about it."

Last month, the telecoms giant revealed that Wi-Fi usage at holiday and caravan parks across the UK surged during the first fortnight of the school summer holidays.

Usage increased by 350 per cent over this period.
