It could mean missing out on WhatsApp messages – or if you’re not careful, you could be stung by extra data charges.

A free way around it is Wi-Fi of course.

But it’s knowing where a Wi-Fi hotspot is available that’s the problem.

Your Facebook app actually has a tool that shows you where Wi-Fi is available near you.
