Hi everyone - my first visit to the Forum. I clicked on the website for free wifi hotspots. Newcastle upon Tyne seems to have none at all! Is this correct? Has anyone found any hotspots they searched for?

Does anyone know if my Vonage wifi phone will work at hotspots or is it only for laptops

Yes. Wifi is wifi as far as I'm aware...

I have a Sony PSP and i have been searching for WiFi in my local area (Bristol) for ages but cant seem to find any apart from pubs which i am too young to go into.

Does anyone know any places at all or any good websites to use(i have tried some of the websites mentioned and they dont all work..the ones that do you have to pay to use in Bristol)??

Thanks =]

FON (www.fon.com) let you get free Wi-Fi in thousands of places, if you share your Wi-Fi with other "Foneros" they partnered with BT recently so they should keep growing the network. Even if you do not share your Wi-Fi you can get 15 minutes access by watching an advert.

In London www.online-4-free.com are giving access in exchange for watching an advert.

I was told (by someone who reckons to know about these things) that if a hacker used my wi-fi to download anything illegal, I would be held responsible. Suffice it to say that my wi-fi is now password-protected!
