Using your phone or tablet when you're overseas can be pretty pricey.
Luckily, for everything else there's MasterCard, as you can now enjoy
free Wi-Fi in the UK thanks to the card in your wallet.
Credit
card and payment services company MasterCard has signed up with British
Wi-Fi provider The Cloud for free Internet connection in thousands of
public places. The Cloud is a company providing Wi-Fi hotspots around
the UK in public places including shops, bars, food places and train
stations.
Download the MasterCard Priceless
London WiFi mobile app, available now from Google Play or the Apple App Store,
and you'll be able to wirelessly connect to the Web at no cost while in the UK.
So when you're on your
holiday -- that's British for vacation -- or traveling for business, you
can check email, catch up with your social media friends or even just
find your way about without racking up huge data roaming charges or
burning through your phone plan's data allowance. It also
helps you sidestep extortionate WiFi fees from your hotel.
The
app also offers deals and promotions based on where you are with
MasterCard's Priceless Cities program. If you are planning on using
the app, it's important to note that MasterCard says you have to
download it and register for the service while you're still at home,
before you travel -- so plan ahead and contact MasterCard for more
details.
