Wifi service in Frankfurt
Hi,
We will be at the Messe Frankfurt for 5 days and was offered a wifi access but for a fee of 75euros for 5 days. Is this a good offer? I would've thought that there would be free wifi service within the exhibition grounds but found otherwise.
Would appreciate if anyone can suggest a cheaper option.
Thanks

I checked out both websites... but they lost me, both sites are in German! The English information (fonic.de) on it talks about calls and sms services in Europe & USA doesn't say anything about WIFI.
But thanks anyway...

You will need a UMTS 2100 phone or a surfstick. The fastest way if you don't have a phone, is to enter a german Tchibo store and buy the stick. This will give you high speed internet access comparable to 6mbit DSL at almost every loction in Germany.

Yes, they speak German in Germany, so that's why the sites are in German . But try babelfish, should give you a basic translation.
