Safe and trusted internet access is seemingly a specter for internet addicts. The day of getting safe internet access is such a day that will never arrive. In fact, you can still find the ways to help you find and sign into a secure wireless access point. Here you can take a look at the free tools and services.

Free tools and services which are able to identify networks near and far

Whether you are at school, public places, or even at home, when you are in need of free internet access, you will absolutely trying to scan for available services. Thus, you will use your portable computer and smartphone to automatically find and identify wireless portals within range of the device.

NetZero and FreedomPop say if they provide free Wi-Fi access.

In fact, the asterisk on the NetZero site specifies if the company’s free data plan has 200MB of data per month and requires the purchase of a NetZero 4G mobile Broadband device. Access to the Free data plan form specified devices expire twelve months since the initial activation, or upon upgrading to a paid plan. The NetZero’s 4G USB modem costs up to $50 and the 4G Hotspot costs $100.

It means that the company counts on customers upgrading to a plan which charges a monthly fee.
