FoxFi - Free WiFi Through Android Phones

Posted: January 22, 2013

How many times have you been on the road and need to use your Android tablet, but don't have 3G service. It's so frustrating, and paying your cell phone carrier $20 a month usually isn't worth it. Enter FoxFi. FoxFi is an Android app that you install on your 3G phone, allowing it to be used as a WiFi tethering device. Not all phones are supported, and usage time is limited on the free service, but you can upgrade to the paid version for $7.00 and time limits are lifted. I was skeptical, so I tried it myself, ending up pleasantly surprised when it worked like a charm. I'll be testing it on the road over the next couple of days – hopefully it continues to live up to my two thumbs up.

FoxFi enables WiFi or Bluetooth Hotspot on your Android phone - no tether plan or rooting required! This is a new Android app with great reviews in Android Market. Bluetooth mode works for all phones. WiFi mode currently works on most Samsung/Motorola/LG phones and new HTC phones with Android 4.0 (HTC One etc). WiFi mode does NOT work on Motorola Droid 1, Motorola Triumph, Samsung Admire, LG Revolution or older HTC phones, use Bluetooth mode instead. Connect your tablets, computers or game console with WPA security. FoxFi usage is covered under your phone's existing data plan.
