上述列表并不全面。还有更多品牌提供免费WiFi。您还可以在当地图书馆和公共场所获得免费WiFi 。
一些公共场所还安排了免费Wi-Fi。像迪士尼(Disney)这样的公园和类似的地方都提供免费无线网络连接(Wi-Fi)。在印度(India)，大约 400 个火车站为人们提供免费Wi-Fi。这是印度政府(India)和(Government)谷歌公司(Google Inc)的一项倡议。
2]移动(Mobile)网络共享–为手机和笔记本电脑获取(– Get)免费WiFi
如果您不信任上述品牌提供的免费WiFi（在公共热点很容易破解计算机），如果您有足够的互联网(Internet)费用/负载，您可以选择移动网络共享。
有三种方法可以做到这一点：
- 使用过去的拨号调制解调器：在这种情况下，您只需将手机连接到计算机并拨打您的 Internet 服务提供商的号码。由于这是一个正在进行的通话，因此试图通过您的移动运营商联系的人将获得“订婚”音。
- 您可以使用蓝牙(Bluetooth)连接您的手机和笔记本电脑并设置拨号连接；这也不会通知您来电
- 最好的方法是使用您的移动数据设置热点。(Hotspot)为此，您转到手机设置并选择网络共享(Tethering)或热点(Hot Spot)选项。如果您尚未创建密码，它会提示您输入密码。一旦建立了移动热点，其他手机和计算机就可以连接到它，就像您使用WiFi一样。
3]移动应用程序获得免费WiFi
如果您搜索您的Google Play Store或Apple App Store，您会发现许多应用程序声称它们可以将您连接到您所在地区/地区的免费Wi-Fi热点。(Wi-Fi)一些这样的应用程序是：
- Wi-Fi 热点 3G/4G
- 热点网络共享
- 便携式 Wi-Fi 热点
- 移动热点
- 威芬尼。
但是，我们不能声称这些应用程序始终是干净的并且不会发送垃圾邮件。在安装之前阅读用户评论并检查每个应用程序的评级，以获得适用于手机和笔记本电脑的免费(Read)Wi-Fi。
除此之外，还有其他几种方法可以获得免费的WiFi连接。旅行时带上便携式调制解调器，使用ISP(ISPs)热点等。
PandaSecurity对此提出了一个有趣的信息图(Infographic)。

请记住，考虑到免费 WiFi 的危险(dangers of free WiFi)，当您连接到免费WiFi热点时，使用(WiFi)VPN 软件(VPN software)并遵循这些WiFi 安全提示(WiFi Security Tips)始终是一个好主意——尤其是在旅行时。

Plenty of establishments provide free WiFi to keep their consumers with them. Starbucks, for example, provides free WiFi to people who’d hang out there throughout the evening. Check for franchisees of well-known supply chains. They often have free WiFi. If you are a regular customer and on good terms with the manager of the place, you can get the manager to give you the chain’s WiFi password.

Some public places also arrange for Free Wi-Fi. Parks like Disney and similar places offer free Wi-Fi. In India, around 400 railway stations offer free Wi-Fi to people. This is an initiative by the Government of India and Google Inc.
2] Mobile Tethering – Get free WiFi for phone and laptop
If you do not trust the free WiFi available (it is easy to hack computers at public hotspots) at above-mentioned brands, you can go for mobile tethering if you have enough charge/load for the Internet.
There are three ways to do this:
- Use the yesteryear’s dial-up modem: In this case, you simply connect your phone to your computer and dial your Internet Service Providers’ number. Since it is a call in progress, people trying to reach via your mobile carrier will get “engaged” tone.
- You can attach pair your mobile and laptop using Bluetooth and set up a Dial-Up Connection; this too won’t inform you about incoming calls
- The best method is to set up a Hotspot using your mobile data. For this, you go to phone settings and select Tethering or Hot Spot option. If you haven’t already created a password, it will prompt you for one. Once the mobile hotspot is established other phones and computers can be connected to it just as you would use WiFi.
3] Mobile apps to get free WiFi
If you search your Google Play Store or Apple App Store, you will find many apps that claim they can connect you to free Wi-Fi hotspot available within your area/locality. Some such apps are:
- Wi-Fi Hotspot 3G/4G
- Hotspot Tethering
- Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot
- Mobile Hotspot
- Wiffinnity.
We cannot, however, claim that these apps would always be clean and won’t spam. Read user reviews and check the ratings of each app before installing them to get free Wi-Fi for phones and laptops.
Apart from these, there are several other ways to get a free WiFi connection. Take a portable modem when your travel, use your ISPs hotspot, etc.
PandaSecurity has come up with an interesting Infographic on this.
