FREEBIE: WiFi courtesy of BT Wireless Hotspots

If you look for a cafe with WiFi when you are out and about – for lunch or a coffee when doing your Christmas shopping, say, or to compare store prices – this freebie may interest you. Until 15 December 2013, you can claim an hour’s free WiFi at BT Fon hotspots in the UK and beyond.

The code works for any of BT WiFi with Fon’s five million hotspots in the UK, or its seven million hotspots overseas. You can find a hotspot by visiting this map.
