So it's not surprising that wireless internet is almost everywhere and almost always free.

Wireless internet access points can be found in most public locations: parks, squares, pubs, cafés, restaurants, airports, trains, bus stations and sometimes it's even possible to access the internet in what seems a remote location, on a beach or in a forest.

Most accommodation establishments offer free wireless internet either in your room or the lobby.

Just open your laptop or mobile device and search for available wireless networks.

In addition to free access there are more secure, closed, paid wireless networks e.g. at petrol stations.

You can usually access them by purchasing a daily or hourly ticket - with your mobile phone.

Accessing them is easy; just send an SMS according to the directions given on signs in the petrol station (or other location). You will be then sent an SMS that contains the user name, password. The username and password will give internet access for 1-24 hours from your first log in.
