I like to watch this girl, Aspyn, and her husband, Parker's vlogs on YouTube. In one of her recent videos, she is driving in the car with Parker. She working on her computer in the passenger seat and is talking about how she has wifi on her computer even though there isn't wifi around because she is using it from her phone. I was just wondering how that could be. If it is an app or if she had to buy a software for that to happen. I'm coming up on an international vacation soon and if I can get wifi on my computer when there isn't wifi around, to get me through the traveling, that would be great. Thanks for any help!
However, If you wanted to you can set up your mobile device as a 'hotspot' this will allow you to access your internet connection through your phone. It may be a slower connection.
As well, Many hotels, places you stay do offer free -WiFi for their guests,. so I would also look into that as well.

Being able to do this while you're on vacation depends on you being able to access the internet from your phone while abroad, which is either not covered or very, very expensive. Generally, I find that my best bet while travelling is to wait until I can find a place with free WiFi. [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]
