Commissary offers in-store Wi-Fi Published April 24, 2015 By Lan Kim 90th Missile Wing Public Affairs F.E. WARREN AIR FORCE BASE, Wyo. -- The F.E. Warren Commissary activated its in-store Wi-Fi access for patrons on April 23. According to a Defense Commissary Agency press release, DeCA seeks to open customer Wi-Fi access initially to all stateside commissaries through its Commissary Patron Internet Mobile System. "Many of our patrons come to the commissary with their smart phones and tablets, and store Wi-Fi will help them get the most from their commissary benefit," said James Freeman, F.E. Warren Commissary store director. "There's a lot of valuable shopping information on www.commissaries.com such as digital coupons for the Commissary Rewards Card, our sales flyer, the savings aisle for access to promotional prices and much more," Freeman said. "It totally makes it a whole lot more convenient," said John Balderaz, the son of a retiree who works on base, describing the commissary shopping experience with Wi-Fi access. Cellular phone networks often become unreliable in the commissary, and having Wi-Fi access allows him to continue tasks on his phone Balderaz said. There are apps for the phone that allow searching for coupons or comparison shopping, which enhances the shopping experience he said. "It's a great idea and long time coming," said Gaylene Balderaz, John's Balderaz's mother. The following information is important to note regarding access to the commissary Internet: · Anyone in the store can access the store's free Wi-Fi from the sales floor area · Prior to accessing the store's free Wi-Fi, one must accept DeCA's "terms of service" agreement · Patrons with questions about accessing Wi-Fi should contact the store's customer service representative
