Has anyone used WiFi France?

Is it any good?
Title: Re: Must have apps.
Post by: TheBoy on 23 February 2013, 10:26:10
I guess thats an app for finding WiFi in France?

In my experience in France, Wifi is similar to here - finding end users with open wifi is rare now. There are lots of "unencrypted" Orange wifi access points, but you need to subscribe to most, similar to BT Wifi/Openzone, as these are home routers with Fon style public access.

On our last trip, the villa's wifi was down, so we found ourselves drinking McDonalds coffee a lot ;D

Option 2, if you're taking the pikey wagon over, and want it in the van whilst serving kebabs to the public, get a MiFi, and buy a French data SIM for the week/fornight.

I would say, all the (UK) wifi finder apps I've found are universally shite.  I have BT Wifi access, so I never have troubles in residential areas.

Not really into apps but quite enjoy google sky maps. Uses your gps etc and shows you where the stars are and there names. Just a bit of fun for me.

Thats why you need the MiFi - the SIM goes in this, and you connect to MiFi from Nexus via WiFi.  I use, I think, Huawei E586, which was the one I shared out at Newent last year.

Ah! I see and understand (wish I was clever like you ;D).

Seems an expensive way to get WiFi though, most campsites provide free WiFi, or for a small charge, unless you go to a caravan club site.

Depends if you are pitched up near enough to receive WiFi from the campsite's one (if they have one).

I bought my WiFi for when the TB family all go to Cyprus. I get a local SIM, €15 for 1 week, max 500Mb, and pop it in the MiFi, which then just gets left in the lounge of the villa. Anyone can then just connect to it (though it has a limit of 5 concurrent devices on my one).  Yes, most of the resturants have free WiFi, but its a long way for the teenagers to walk, just to update arsebook.

That said, I did get arseraped £17 at Newent, as I forgot it had a pure PAYG SIM in, not a SIM with a data bundle on it ;D.  I think it was 20p per Mb, and we did 184Mb ;D

A certain tat bizarre stall holder used to pay for mine. Still does. But thats a Vodafone SIM, thus universally useless ;D

Hence my own O2 SIMS (which, incidentally, work out free anyway ::))

I shall probably only use the tablet for when we're in a town, or for reading books.

I shall still take the laptop to use whilst on site, and use their WiFi.
