UK iPhone users and BT Broadband customers listen up - around 2,500 ATM machines near you will soon be converted to function as free WiFi hotspots, thanks to BT Openzone and Cashbox. The initial rollout will begin with 10 machines this week and then numbers are expected to gradually increase.

“Some of our sites lend themselves to becoming hotspots more than others,” says Ciaran Morton, CEO of Cashbox. “It’s really just the start of our rollout. We will look at extending coverage over the coming months.” Non-BT and iPhone users that want to join in the fun and convenience will have to dish out £5.88 ($10) for 90 minutes or a more sensible £9.79 ($16) for 24 hours.
