Nokia starts free WiFi service in London






Nokia are spending a huge amount promoting the launch of their Lumia smartphone and now they've announced they are trialling a  free WiFi service in London !

The WiFi will be absolutely free and you won't even have to give your personal details. All you have to do is be in a hotspot search for the Nokia WiFi network and agree to the terms and conditions.

Amazingly, there won't be any data limits but speeds per connection will be limited to 1mbps, which is more than enough for browsing and downloading small files. All types of devices will be supported including smartphones, tablets and laptops.

Nokia's WiFi service is provided by Spectrum Interactive and will be trialled until December at 26 hotspots in the captial.

It's a smart move from Nokia especially if they incorporate some branding and advertising when customers are connecting or using the service. The guys at 3G are happy to claim freebies and this WiFi trial is one of the best around !
