How to Find a Free Wifi Connection With Android
In order to fully utilize your smart-phone you need to have internet connectivity. Most phones today, especially Androids, require data services for built-in features. Your Android is more than capable of organizing and managing your online world. Whether you need your social networking (Facebook, Twitter etc) fix, have to get an urgent e-mail out, access your work servers online, transfer important documents from or to your cloud service or need to consume media, you can do everything with your Android and internet access. Unfortunately, cellular data services sell expensive bandwidth and the most feasible way is to use Wi-Fi networks. Most people today have Wi-Fi networks set up at home, work, schools and universities; however, not all Wi-Fi networks are free, while most personal ones are password protected to keep free loaders away. If you are looking for free Wi-Fi coverage around you, you will need to download an app called ‘Free Zone WiFi’ from the Google Play Store.
