I've just got myself a notebook.

I'm going to Cyprus for a couple of months and was wondering how/if I can use the Wi Fi hotspots, if they exist there.

I've read through the home page on F2S and it looks as if I can just login with my normal account details and get charged as PAYG but don't knowif this applied abroad.

Any help much appreciated.

There will almost certainly be a number of locally run ‘hot spots’, mainly in café’s or hotel lobbies. Probably best to check-out the coverage, and buy a PAYG card once you’ve found a good source.

Coffee shops often offer open access, so check them out first.

The F2S Wifi Hotspot deal isn't avaliable in Cyprus

Thanks for the quick replies.

Will have to tout the locals when I get there.

Hi,

As Justin said Cytanet are a good ISP in Cyprus. They have a dial-up PAYG service which was very reasonable. I set up some friends on the service via their landline but had no luck getting it to work with a iPAQ linked to a mobile.
As for WI-Fi , I think I read that there were some hot-spots but these were mainly in Nicossia. Just found this site, which may explain further:
