Login To Your Wi-Fi Hotspots Using Your Mobile Number

That’s right, SMS logins are officially here. Fancy. Pants.

How does it work? Your customers simply enter their mobile number on your login screens. We’ll send them an SMS with a login code. They enter this for access.

You still choose how much time they get, and when they can get online. Currently you will need to open a ticket in Cucumber Tony to access this – currently in private beta, invitation only.

Here’s how you set up SMS logins on your Wi-Fi Hotspots?

Login to Cucumber Tony and head over to your location’s access settings. Select SMS from the drop down. That’s it, no more set up required.

When your customers visit your WiFi Hotspots, they’ll see a login page asking them for a mobile number

After they enter this, they will receive a code via text. Fancy pants.

Android User Update

Posted on: No Comments

Last month we noticed a slight decrease in Android usage on our Wi-Fi Network. Moreover, we received some messages through our support portal…

On further investigation, we discovered a new software update to the Android platform was preventing some devices from being assigned an IP address by our Hotspot system.

This prevented some users from going online and using our network.

We’ve now patched the problem and will be releasing a full fix over the next couple of weeks. Most of our Hotspots have been updated but a few may have been omitted.
