O2 Now Offering Free WiFi On the Tube

O2 has announced that it too will be offering its subscribers free access to WiFi on the London Underground. The news is a result of a deal O2 has struck with London Underground WiFi provider Virgin Media.

Since that announcement, several carriers have signed deals with Virgin securing free access for their subscribers, too. Vodafone and EE (and, by extension, Orange and T-Mobile) customers can avail of this free WiFi thanks to deals signed with Virgin and now O2 customers can join them. 

"We’re excited to bring free Underground WiFi to O2 customers this summer," said Gary Booker, Head of Consumer at O2. "Our customers want to stay connected wherever they are and will soon be able to check their email, update their Facebook status, shop online, book their next holiday and stay connected to their friends and family right across Tube stations in Central London."

Free access will kick in in June, when all existing O2 customers signed up for O2 WiFi will be automatically registered for free WiFi on the Underground.
