Overview

Give1Get1 donors can activate their T-Mobile offer here: http://laptopgiving.org/pin

You'll need the reference number and email address you originally used to place your Give1Get1 order. The reference number is marked "PO:" on the FedEx shipping label that came on the box of your XO laptop. If you have not received it yet, please contact: HELP @ LAPTOP . ORG

The reference number is not valid in cross referencing to a T-Mobile pin until the XO is confirmed as received, and there may be a delay between the time you receive your XO and when your reference PIN is activated.

Once you have your T-Mobile PIN, go to http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/give1get1 to sign up for a username and password for T-Mobile, which must be activated by June 30, 2008.

If you are still having problems, send email to: "help AT laptop.org" Recognize that response time may vary, and there is no assurance that the clock is not already 'running' against the one-year subscription, regardless of when the reference number is actually activated. Phone support and service from OLPC is minimal, especially around this subject.

Note: T-Mobile does not provide access in your home; instead you need to go to (or be near) a business with a T-Mobile hotspot!
