464630 2006-06-20 00:59:00 if u have a laptop with a wi-fi card, and u go to a cafe where telecom has a wif-fi hotspot, how do u log into it? Because telecom say travellers from overseas will be able to come to new zealand and use the internet from wi-fi hotspots with their laptops and wi-fi card. Where would travellers from say,usa, get the user names and passwords from to login to the service? lance4k (4644)

If it is a paid service, then they will purchase a card with login details.

If you are from overseas/not xtra customer, you can buy a pre-paid card, or you can use your credit card (I think?).
Simply turn on wireless, open up your browser, and follow the instructions there.
