Hi Luis.

You often get free WIFI access in public coffee shops and as well in hostels. At stations you often have to pay. Have a look at some McDonalds, BurgerKing, Starbucks or similar ones. They often have free WIFI as well.

I have an account of fon.com - sometimes useful, but not always, as you have to know where to find the WIFIs.
And then I use Vodafone Websessions. Expensive per day (EUR 20 - for 24 hours, outside of your country of residence), but as I need it sometimes.

Maybe someone knows better solutions. I hope there will be soon data flat-rates for mobiles covering the whole Europe.

Hi Dudes!

What is the current state of mobile internet / wifi in Europe?

Are there any changes? What do you use?

Hi.
I recommend to use WIFI in hostels or sometimes you can get it as well in fast-food restaurants, normal bars when just having a break for a coffee. It is usually free then.
Also you will always find internet shops around or in railway stations where you can get WIFI very cheap. Calculate EUR 2 per hour.
I wouldn't buy a mobile phone card ... every country has different options (even having the same providers). Often it is required to be resident of the country.
Example for Germany: 1 month Internet access, ~ 1 GB, for EUR 10.
In the past I used my German mobile phone card to have access to Internet. But it was always to expensive (it will become cheaper of course in future), but I am happy with the solutions I described above.
