    You can have free Wi-Fi using IBB. So,
    What is IBB Wi-Fi Free Internet?
    The municipality of a big city like Istanbul has provided safe and accessible communication services for local citizens and foreign tourists. This issue was raised in 2013 and was finally put into operation on April 1, 2014.
    In 2017, the IBB Wi-Fi project was expanded. And according to the statistics, it is accessible in 71 public spaces and means of public transportation such as squares, streets, parks, gardens, sports and cultural places and thousands of places in Istanbul.
    IBB Wi-Fi free internet is a step towards the implementation of the universal concept of Muni Wi-Fi (regional wireless networks).
    IBB Wi-Fi provided to citizens all over Istanbul provides free and open access to Internet services in many parts of the city. The free internet project was launched simultaneously by IBB in 27 geographical locations on April 1, 2014. The aim of this company is to integrate IBB Wi-Fi free internet services with new technologies and superior quality and expand it all over Turkey, especially its public areas.

    How to use IBB Wi-Fi free internet?
    In order to use IBB Wi-Fi free internet services, every user must connect to the IBB Wi-Fi wireless network through their smartphone, tablet or laptop.
    After connecting to the IBB Wi-Fi network from the area where the IBB Wi-Fi network is located or from IETT Metro and buses, the user must click on the user registration button and enter the necessary information that is requested from him. After filling in the necessary information of the user (such as mobile phone number, email address and first and last name) and a password will be sent to the user as an SMS. By entering the password, the user will be able to connect to the free Internet of IBB Wi-Fi in Istanbul.

    What is the daily use of IBB Wi-Fi free internet?
    Free internet services with a quota of 30 gigabytes per month and a maximum speed of 2 megabytes per second are provided for all citizens and all tourists who come to Istanbul. Using the free IBB Wi-Fi Internet is more than enough to meet simple needs and to do daily tasks such as checking e-mail messages or reading messages on virtual space messengers and watching an episode of a series.

    Why use IBB Wi-Fi rather than mobile data?
    Getting a SIM card in Istanbul is not necessarily an easy task, and you must have your passport with you. Then fill out some forms and if you want to stay in Istanbul for more than a month, then you need to register in the local network there and pay the relevant tax. Using free internet services does not require doing any of these things, and you can easily connect to it.
    All you need to do is find a place that has IBB Wi-Fi coverage, then connect to it. You can go to IBB website and check the rest for yourself.
