When you're at the airport or in a coffee shop, it's safe to say many of us use the free Wi-Fi.

Pop in your email address and you're good to go, right?

Usually that's the drill. But it wasn't so for some 22,000 people recently.

Purple, a Manchester based company that specialises in running WiFi hotspots for UK brands like Legoland and Pizza Express, decided to try a little experiment.

For two weeks, the company inserted a 'Community Service Clause' into its terms of service agreement.

And of course, 22,000 people agreed to it.

But what exactly did they agree to do? Well, here's the list below:

  • Cleansing local parks of animal waste

  • Providing hugs to stray cats and dogs

  • Manually relieving sewer blockages

  • Cleaning portable lavatories at local festivals and events

  • Painting snail shells to brighten up their existence

  • Scraping chewing gum off the streets

We particularly like the second last one, and would do it for free just to make a little snail's day.

There was also a prize on offer for anybody who rang the company and mentioned the 'Community Service Clause'.

Just one person received a prize.

However, Purple said that they will not even try to implement it, and only included the clause for a bit of fun.

So there you go people, read the terms and conditions or you could end up scraping chewing gum off the streets.

Ever find yourself in town with no place to rest your bum and check your WhatsApp messages?

Having no data when you're out and about can be super annoying, especially when you're trying to get hold of your mates.

Well, Facebook is about to change all that with its latest feature.

The new feature means you will be able to see all of the nearest cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops that have free Wi-Fi.

That means you can grab a coffee while checking those dreaded emails and catch up with your mates.

Check out the video above to see how you can use it.

Companies will have to add their details to the app first, but once everyone is set up, it should be full to the brim with choices.

Whenever your monthly phone bill comes in, it can be a moment of dread for all of us.

These days, most network companies have strict data limits and unlimited plans are almost a thing of the past (sob!). Pair that with numerous phone updates and a low Wi-Fi signal, and it's a recipe for disaster. 

So, to avoid the shock and horror when your next bill arrives, follow these tips to reign in your data consumption:

Low Power Mode

This will save your ass so many times. When you start to lose power (so around 2pm everyday), you can now go into the battery menu and choose Low Power Mode.  

As well as saving your battery, it also switches off some of the biggest data-eaters on your device. 

 

Turn off cellular data for iCloud

For any iPhone users out there, if you use the iCloud to move files back and forth, it could lead to very high data fees.

It's true that all those little edits are being saved on the cloud and still using data in the process, so think twice before you rely on it for backup. 

 

Turn off Wi-Fi Assist

Wi-Fi Assist can be just as harmful as it is helpful. If you leave it on by accident, it eats away your data allowance without you even realising it.

The setting is designed to switch your phone over to 4G if you have a low Wi-Fi signal, so yep, it's not an ideal way to spend your pennies. 

 

Disable automatic downloads

Apps are some of the biggest files on your phone, so if you're an updating addict, it could really be costing you.

Instead, wait until you are connected to Wi-Fi before downloading or updating apps.

 

Find out what's draining your data

Still no change in your data consumption? Then head straight to your mobile settings and under the heading Mobile Data you'll see a list of apps and the amount of data they use AND the amount of data they've used since you first downloaded them.

Now all that's left to do is delete the biggest offenders. Tough decisions ahead ladies.
