Wireless Tips & Tricks: Finding Hotspots on the Road

Wireless Tips & Tricks: Finding Hotspots on the Road


Can't get online to search for a hotspot?

While JiWire's online hotspot locator is quite a powerful way to search for worldwide hotspots, there are several ways to take it with you, as well. The Portable Hotspot Locator comes in PC, Mac and AvantGo versions. You can also search for hotspots on your browser-enabled cell phone, at wap.jiwire.com.


Whichever way you go, you can filter the Hotspot Locator for free sites, as well as for a number of other useful parameters, such as service provider and location type (airport, hotel, cafe, etc.). JiWire's provider comparison page shows rates for all major Wi-Fi service providers.

Finally, frequent flyers won't want to miss the airport Wi-Fi guide, which includes a complete listing of major US and Canadian terminals with Wi-Fi.
