Using Android devices that carry Cytamobile-Vodafone SIM cards with active RED and BLACK plans, you can connect to the CytaVoda WiFi using SIM authentication instead of using a password.
To do so
- from the Wi-Fi manager of your cell phone click to connect on the
CytaVoda WiFinetwork - at the new window click on the drop-down named
EAP method - and select the option
SIM - finally click on the
Connectbutton.
The system will validate you and no further steps needed.
You will notice that your Wi-Fi manager will show a slightly different window than the usual when you click to connect on the network. This is normal as the network offers multiple authentication methods and it is giving you the option to choose which one to use. Of course, we do not know the password and the purpose of this post is to demonstrate the SIM authentication method.
The CytaVoda WiFi has a drawback, it does not offer unlimited data to the users.
Depending on what your SIM plan is, you will have a different monthly data allowance which is renewed every 1st of the month.
The data allowance limits that were applied at the time this post was written, were the following:
- 200MB for:
RED 1 - 500MB for:
RED 2 - 1GB (1024MB) for:
RED 3 - 2GB (2048MB) for:
RED 4/RED Family/RED Plus/BLACK
You can check the amount of CytaVoda WiFi data that you consumed and the remaining data at the page http://miu.cyta.com.cy.
