Does anyone know how I can connect to PCCW WiFi services when outside from home if my IPad is a WiFi only (and not a 3G) device.
I tired to log in form the hairdresser Esprit Salon and could not. It did not work when I tried to enter my normal Netvigator login and password but it did not let me log in. Is this another subscription? It says on their website there is a Pay as you go option.
Thanks

You have to get the password from the salon's wifi network to log in.
Owe find a free wifi without password..

Philly Cheese, the OP means PCCW WiFi, not the salon's WiFi.
MCaroline, this is indeed another subscription. Do you have a PCCW WiFi subscription or just broadband? Without the WiFi subscription you cannot use the PCCW hotspots.

I have Netvigator Broadband subscription at home but no others so far. PCCW website mentions IPad with WiFi + 3G devices but does not say anything about WiFi only IPads which made me wonder how to deal with this.
Is is what they call WiFi Anywhere? Or do they have special offers for Netvigator Broadband users? No clear information on this and I tried calling their hotline a couple of times to find myself waiting without any operator picking up...

To use PCCW services, you would have to get 3G service plan from them. If you only have the wi-fi iPad, then there is no point in you buying a PCCW 3G package. Sorry that should be obvious.
If you have the PCCW 3G unlimited package, then there is no point in using their wi-fi services (in HK) since you can log in all the time using 3G at no extra cost. I am not sure, but if PCCW has a limited 3G plan, then the wi-fi option is of use...and you will need a password from PCCW before you can log into it.

Thanks for your replies. My IPad is a Wi-Fi only so I obviously can only log in with password. I had a reply from a MacForum and some that I can log in with my home login+password if I am around their hotspot using the same details, while other say I need the Pay-as-you-go which is of HD$3 per 10 mn usage. Doing full circles here and still did not find the correct answer. I might just have to try and see...

Axguy's one the money here. You can subscribe to PCCW wifi on a monthly plan. Works with a range of devices, not just ipad. I used to use it for my old htc phone. Once signed up, when at a hotspot you just login and surf.
This was a few years ago, but I doubt they've change the process dramatically.
