YES! Free WiFi Expands Nationwide: Free Internet with Engaging Ads

In an exciting announcement this Tuesday, YES! Free WiFi unveiled plans to rapidly expand its public internet service to over 500 locations by the end of 2024, with ambitious goals to exceed 1,000 sites by 2025. Currently available at fewer than 100 locations, this free WiFi service has grown significantly since its launch, and it's set to change the way Filipinos access the internet.

A Nationwide Expansion

Launched in 2023, YES! Free WiFi began its journey with locations in the heart of Manila, including the Manila City Hall and the Manila Zoo. As of today, the service has expanded to 77 locations nationwide, with more to come in the next year. The rapid growth of this service promises to bring reliable and accessible internet to people from all walks of life, further bridging the digital divide in the Philippines.

How YES! Free WiFi Works

YES! Free WiFi is truly unique in that it offers completely free access to the internet. Users can enjoy this service by simply engaging with ads. It’s a simple and effective model: connect, engage with ads, and enjoy free WiFi minutes. For brands, this presents an exciting opportunity to connect directly with consumers through real-time engagement and awareness.

JP Mercado, Managing Director of YES! Free WiFi, shared, “Connect. Engage with Ads. Enjoy free WiFi minutes. It’s that simple to use YES! Free WiFi, and it is also that simple for brands to connect with their consumers.”

Empowering Brands Through YES! Ad Solutions

In addition to providing free internet, YES! Free WiFi also empowers brands through its YES! Ad Solutions platform. This service allows advertisers to engage their target audience by delivering ads in a variety of formats, including photos, videos, and surveys, in specific locations. It’s a win-win scenario, where consumers enjoy free WiFi while advertisers connect with potential customers.

Partnering with J and K Impex Group Corp.

This month, YES! Free WiFi made a significant milestone by signing up its first major advertiser: J and K Impex Group Corp., the official distributors of Sunkist fruit and jelly products in the Philippines. This partnership opens new doors for YES! Free WiFi and proves that their platform is a valuable tool for brands looking to reach a wide, engaged audience.

Mercado expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Having our first major advertiser not only opens more opportunities for us but also further drives us to expand our territories and innovate our services so that in return, we can help our advertisers fulfill their goals.”

Free WiFi, echoed the company’s vision for the future: “We are committed to expanding our network, improving our services, and providing Filipinos with reliable internet access for free.
