basic Wi-Fi / internet question

[Anonymous]

this is for me & a friend of mine = Eh-Up-Ow-Do ..... when out & about on a laptop / notebook / tablet etc using Wi-Fi, is it free to use? ..... ie does it come off your 'internet allowance' as when you are using your mobile electronic devices when at home ..... is there a 'useage allowance' with an internet provider eg I'm with Sky for internet & O2 for mobile phone = I truly don't know & should I? ..... my friend is with Three

Also what does Wi-Fi stand for? ..... I'm assuming the Wi is wireless, is the Fi perhaps fidelity? as in Hi-Fi = high fidelity?

thank you

Must admit with the number of pictures I post it is an absolute godsend to me. Cuts out the middle man as it were. I am no longer saving pictures to my laptop that I don't want

I hadn't tried the copy and paste way until about 3 months ago.  It was a bit disconcerting to get the pink highlighted error when you first try to post...but I just ignore it and post again. Simples
