What do you need to
use the WiFi service?
All you need for internet access at a Telecom Wireless Hotspot is a WiFi
enabled device and a Prepaid WiFi card.
• A WiFi enabled device
To use a hotspot, your computer must be configured with a WiFi certified radio, such as an external WLAN (wireless local area network) card or
an integrated wireless LAN capability as available on many laptops. WiFi
capability is now a standard feature on most new laptops being sold.
A Prepaid WiFi Card
Prepaid WiFi cards are available at many convenient locations on
Rarotonga including a number of hotels and retail stores. They can also
be purchased at the Telepost shop in downtown Avarua or 24 hours a day,
7 days a week at the Telecom Centre nearby.
Which Prepaid WiFi Card is right for you?
Cards are available in four denominations based on the volume of data
that you want to transfer. The table below will help you decide which
card is right for you.
Card Type Price Ideal For
50MB $15.00 Checking e-mails and occasional internet surfers
150MB $36.00 More frequent internet users
250MB $50.00 Frequent internet users that may require a number of larger
transfers
400MB $64.00 Heavy internet users that may require frequent transfers
All Prepaid WiFi card values will expire after 30 days from the time of
activation. Any remaining volume left on the card at this point is
non-refundable.

Frequently asked questions
How can I tell how much data I have left on my Prepaid card?
To view your account usage statistics login to http://wifi.oyster.net.ck
and select “My Usage Statistics”.
Why am I prompted to change my access code?
This is so no other user can gain access to your internet session.You
should type in a new code that’s at least six characters long and made
up of both numbers and letters.
I think there’s a problem with coverage at a Wireless Hotspot. What
should I do?
The connection between your device and the internet is made via a radio
signal, which can be affected by a number of external factors. Telecom
has made every effort to ensure that you experience the best quality
service it can offer, however if you are having problems please call us
on 123 and let us know, so we can investigate the situation.
How secure is the service?
Although rigorous testing has been done Telecom’s wireless hotspot
service can’t offer guaranteed protection against viruses, the
interception or misuse of your data or other harmful occurrences. We
strongly recommend you protect your computing device through methods
such as a firewall and anti-virus software.
