Is there a way to get cheap Wi-Fi service, without having to commit to spending 30, 40 or $50 a month?
I'm trying to find a service that's less than 1 GB of data a month. Something cheap that I can use on my iPhone 8+. I already have a monthly cellular data service (Unlimited). But for some reason, apps do not download well using it. Apps seem to download a lot faster using Wi-Fi. I don't know why that is-they just do.
Yes, go to the library and use their net there
Wi-Fi is not the internet. It is something a router can provide. You get internet from an ISP. Their modem might also have Wi-Fi on it but that is something I do not recommend.
Basically, the internet comes via Phone/Fiber/Cable to a modem. The modem turns the analog signal into digital ones and forwards that to a router. The router does routing things. Then if the packet of data is actually one you want, it forwards that to your phone using the Wi-Fi radio in the router. The Wi-Fi is the same as a wire as both deliver packets of data from one place to another.
Pay for a service, then own the router, modem, etc to keep it cheaper.
You don't typically buy Wi-Fi. You buy Internet access from an ISP (AT&T, Comcast, or whatever is in your area), which in turn, you buy/rent a modem that may or may not have Wi-Fi access. I don't really believe that most providers offer "cheap" service, at least not without a long-term contract. And plus, most Internet packages usually give you 1 TB (1,024 GB) of data, not just 1 GB or in some places, unlimited data.
The most likely reason that your downloads on your phone are slow through mobile data is either because you're too far from a cell tower and have a weak (and slow signal) or you've reached your monthly threshold. With "unlimited" data, almost all providers will slow you down to a crawl after you reach a certain amount of data used.
SIMPLE: The amount of bandwidth available thru Wi-Fi is about 100 times more than thru cellular connections.
Hang out at places with free wi-fi, like shopping malls or fast food restaurants
There's something wrong with your iPhone you need to take it back to the store where you bought it the iPhone downloads apps at breakneck speeds if you're within a decent coverage range. Before your warranty expires take the thing back. Run a speed test with your iPhone internet speed test Ocala and see what your internet download speed is it should be at least 8 megabytes per second or something's wrong.
Juts go down to your local Mc Do… Speed is lousey though
- Is there an iPhone app that lets me scan barcodes to keep track of how much I'm spending? It just seems easier for (lazy ole) me than a calculator. If possible, I'd like one that can figure in tax too.
- If I get a two year contract do I still pay month to month? So I have recently broke my phone and I heard the iPhone 5c is coming in a about a week, so if I bought the iPhone with Sprint would I still pay month to month or do I pay for 2 years up front?
- How to use my iPhone on vacation in the Philippines without spending a million dollars? Going to the Philippines for three weeks from San Francisco. Doing lots of touristy things and I want to be able to Snapchat and text my boyfriend back home. International roaming is not an option. Is there a pre-paid iPhone I can buy there that allows international call, text and data? Should I have my own iPhone unlocked and just buy a sim card there? Would that allow for international communication?
- How to commit to saving up for something? So I want to save up for a pair of Beats Solo 2 and it'll take me up to 18th December to save up for then, how do I commit to this? I'd ask my mom to buy them for me but she's already getting my iPhone 6 screen repaired for £70 and I don't want to make her spend £99 on this pair of Beats. I've already £11 so I need to save up £88, how do I commit to this?
