Using free WiFi at Changi Airport

Back to Singapore's nationwide free WiFi initiative (see Using WiFi in Singapore), you may find it useful to note that free WiFi is available at

• Terminal 1, 2, 3 and Budget Terminal of Changi Airport
• with Premium Wireless Service (up to 2Mbps) provided to travellers entering Singapore

This is a extension of the already publicly known Wireless@SG initiative to offer free WiFi to travelers roaming and/or transiting to/via Singapore. One of the Wireless@SG providers, QMax, has now partnered Starhub Mobile and this of course has made the process of obtaining a free wifi account easier.

Earlier I mentioned dialing *186 while roaming on SingTel Mobile. This is now also available in a similar offering from Starhub Mobile.

By dialing *9434 (*WIFI) while roaming with Starhub Mobile in Singapore, you get your account over SMS free.

Both accounts define your mobile number as the User ID, with an automatically generated password, to log on to Wireless@SG hotspots for free. Just make sure you dial the right request code based on the Singapore mobile network you are roaming with: *186 for SingTel Mobile, *9434 for Starhub Mobile. Do make sure that you are connected to the right WiFi network "Wireless@SG" before launching your web browser. Now, just key your User ID and password and get surfing right away.
