Special Tip

Make sure you use strong passwords that are not predictable to protect mobile data otherwise someone can access your internet connection. Non-guessable passwords like 12 characters long, numbering, consists capital and small letters, special characters. Always try to avoid common passwords such as 12345QWERTY or 123456789.

2. Use Hotspot Database App

Massive amount of free public hotspot available in every location that is able to find through the database app. It contains plenty of Wi-Fi hotspot lists around the whole world even with passwords in some cases. You don’t need to pay to access public Wi-Fi.
