Nowadays it is possible to have a perfectly functioning internet support connection on smartphones, tablets, and computers, and it is virtually compulsory to do much of the activities that are normally performed on those devices. It is only a shame that when you are out of the house and you have to rely on the amount of SIM data inserted in the smartphone, tablet, portable modem or even in the Internet Key, the amount of GB available is never enough to make all, and that, once you reach the maximum traffic limit, you have to pay extra to continue browsing.

The question, given the circumstances, is therefore quite spontaneous: there is a way to have unlimited internet free and to get around that? The answer is “yes,” and if you want, I can explain how. I can show you web surfing solutions without time or data limitations, without paying for them. These solutions exploit public hotspots in Dubai and abroad, both inside and outside open areas.

The article provides clear ideas on a topic, with public hotspots being the focus for suggesting other interesting solutions. Enjoy the reading and focus on your interests and needs.

Public hotspots

As I said a few lines up, the only real 100% legal system to have unlimited free Internet support is to take advantage of the many public hotspots scattered throughout and around the globe. These are essentially wireless Internet support access points that can be found in bars, restaurants, airports, hotels, parks, squares, and so on, and allow you to connect to the Web without any limitations and above all without having to pay (unless otherwise stated, of course) .

Generally, special billboards, stickers, and various indications on the spot indicate this. In order to find them easier or at least remote, you can rely on specific websites and apps.

Sites to find them

In order to identify the many public hotspots around you can take advantage of some Internet sites designed for this purpose. Below you find the ones that in my opinion represent the most reliable of the category.

  • FON  – The FON network interactive map provides access points worldwide, requiring project participation or customer service from Internet support providers like Vodafone.Users search for locations and the map displays the results. The project is actively collaborating with TLC companies and Silicon Valley investors like Google, Skype, and eBay.
  • Wiman – A good website to find public hotspots in UAE and the rest of the world. It also lets you find private networks whose managers have chosen to share the login password. To use it, linked to its home page, type the name of the reference location in the center field and press the Enter key on the keyboard. The map will display the results.

I also recommend that you make a “capatina” on institutional sites, such as those of the municipalities, where in most cases there are updated maps with areas covered with public Wi-Fi. To find a map for a given city you can do a quick search on Google by using the common type [common name] Wi-Fi hotspot (instead of [common name] you have to type the common name). For example, as far as Milan is concerned, by doing a network search, you can access this page through the Serviced Areas section, which allows you to view maps of various areas of the city with attached hotspots.

App to find them

Websites apart, there are also a bunch of useful apps to help you find public hotspots. I believe the best ones that deserve to be proven are right here.

  • WiFi Map  ( Android / iOS ) – Popular category app. Lets you find wireless access points around the world with the help of users. Remarkable is the ability to download maps with hotspots locally and consult them on your device even if you do not have an Internet support connection (for that matter!). You download it for free.

 

  • Instabridge ( Android / iOS ) – Another valid category app that lets you locate public hotspots by sending notifications that indicate your presence on the site based on your shifts. You can also set destinations and new Wi-Fi points so that the application also works offline. Your download for free.

 

  • Wiffinity ( Android / iOS ) – Another resource to consider to find free hotspots in the area and connect to the latest ones from the app. Your download for free.

 

  • Facebook ( Android / iOS ) – Facebook’s app can help users find Wi-Fi hotspots in their area, providing unlimited internet support for free. Simply click on the three horizontal lines, explore the screen, and select “Find Wi-Fi,” which displays various free Wi-Fi options in the area.

 

  • WiFi Finder ( Android ) – Another popular application that allows you to search for free hotspots via a geo-wizard or a dedicated scanner. In the first case, you have to enter state, province, city and also want the postcode or postcode to get the list, while in the second case you just need to tap on the screen. You download for free.

How to make a connection

Once you find the closest hotspot you can finally go to the action: connect to the network and start surfing online. Already … how do you “hook” to the Wi-Fi you chose? To find out, just follow the directions below.

  • From Windows – Click on the network icon (the one with the clears ) in the notification area (next to the clock ), select the correct connection from the list and click on the Connect button.

 

  • From Mac – Click on the wireless network icon (the cutters ) in the upper-left part of the system tray and select the reference network from the list that is shown to you.

 

  • From Android – Go to the device screen where all app icons are grouped, click Settings (the gear icon ), go to the Connections / Wireless and Networks section, select Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi Settings -Fi, turn ON its switch (if the function is disabled, of course) and tap the name of the reference network.

 

  • From iOS – Access the Home screen, step on the Settings icon (the one with the gear ), swipe on the Wi-Fi entry, turn ON (if set to OFF ) the switch located next to Wi-Fi and picks up the reference network name from the list that appears on the screen.

The tasks are straightforward and easily achievable. For further information, refer to my tutorial on WiFi connection, which provides detailed solutions to the issue.

Note : Please note that you may need to provide hotspot passwords when connecting in public places. You can find these passwords through indications, posters, and labels, or you can ask reference staff directly on the premises.

Other solutions that may be interesting: Internet Support

Let’s go now to the alternative solutions to the hotspots that, as I said in the opening, can still make it convenient in ending circumstances, while not properly respecting the “unlimited” and “free” characteristics.

Offers of fixed-line operators

You probably did not know, but you need to know that some Dubai providers (and not only) allow you to surf the Internet for free, providing their customers with access to a network of exclusive hotspots present at the national level. So, even if it’s not exactly a free solution (to have a fixed-line internet subscription enabled), it still deserves to be taken into consideration. Below you will find the Dubai Managers that offer this type of service to their subscribers.

  • Vodafone – The manager offers free access to FON network hotspots and Vodafone Wi-Fi Community access points for ADSL and Fiber customers. To use this service, subscribe to a Vodafone home subscription, including Vodafone Station 2 or Vodafone Station Revolution, and register on the operator’s site.

 

  • Fastweb – Users with ADSL or Fiber subscriptions and SIM 4G with active mobile offer can access the WOW FI Wi-Fi hotspot network, based on connection sharing housewives. The operator sends passwords via SMS and provides more information on their website.

 

  • Tiscali – Even those who have activated an ADSL and fibre subscriber with this carrier can freely connect to Wi-Fi hotspots generated by other operator customers. Tiscali Social WiFi offers a service that activates automatically for anyone with a Wi-Fi Tiscali modem. For more information about the service, please visit the web page, while for Tiscali offers you can refer to my guide to the topic.

Mobile Line Managers Offers

As far as mobile operators are concerned, at the moment there is no solution similar to those above. However, some operators can continue to surf the net at zero cost and at reduced speed once they reach the maximum GB limit included in the subscription offer. Even then, providers do not just intend the concept of unlimited free internet support in the strict sense, but they can still provide a good solution if needed.

Among the major handlers currently offering this option is Wind, which once pulled the GB part of the bundle of the subscribed plan allows you to continue surfing the net without limitation but at a maximum speed of 128 kbps (so useful rather than communicating on messaging and social networking apps. To find out all the offers of the operator, you can read my dedicated article, while for more information on the feature you can see, please see the Wind Reminder attached to the web page of each offer on the manager’s site.

Again, I remind you that, Get the best Internet Installation Services  to keep up-to-date with any new solutions from other operators by which you can surf the Internet without delay, you can occasionally take a look at the section on mobile telephony and the section dedicated to mobile Internet already mentioned on the Sos Tariffs website.
