SFR has a very large network of WiFi access points scattered across the country. These different hotspots will allow you to connect to broadband internet for free and unlimited wherever you are. This offer is intended for all SFR Mobile customers. In this guide we explain how to connect to SFR Wifi Mobile..

SFR Wifi Hotspots

French operators have made great efforts in recent years to improve their 4G network coverage. More than 80% of the French population has access to very high speed mobile . However, these good figures should not make us forget the hundreds of municipalities that do not have a network or a limited internet connection.

The other issue for telecom operators is the consumption of data. Smartphones have specific needs and uses. The latter ingest a large amount of data (HD video playback, downloads, etc.). Mobile operators must offer customers packages that are adapted to their uses while remaining affordable..

As we know, the French are addicted to their smartphones. They consume a large amount of data each month. This figure is increasing month after month. As a result, most smartphone owners are constantly in data overflow.

To avoid this type of situation, SFR has set up a network of several million hotspots called SFR Wifi Mobile . This wireless community network allows any SFR subscriber to benefit from a broadband connection without time or data limits..

Where to find an SFR Wifi Mobile network?

Whether you are in the countryside, on the street, at the hotel, in a train station, in a cafe, in an airport or even in a public park you can surf wirelessly without fear for your package. The only condition, however, is to find an SFR Wifi or FON network when you travel.

To help you find the list of Wi-Fi networks to which you can connect, the operator in the red square provides you with an interactive map. You will find it at this address. image Then simply type in your address or the postal code of the place you want to go to to show the exact position of each hotspot .

This community network is mainly made up of SFR internet boxes whose customers have activated the Public Wifi option. All ISP subscribers can thus securely connect to Wi-Fi on the equipment of other customers.

Rest assured no risk of hacking. The two connections are hermetically separated and each subscriber has their own identifiers.
