    Yes its free.

    any phone that has wifi built in, then it has the capabilities to connect to a wifi router/zone for free.

    As for your case. its free, you just connect your blackberries to your sky router, it may ask you for your wifi password. which you should know, if you dont ask sky. it will remember this and wont ask for it again and everytime you are in that area e.g. youre home it will auto connect to your wifi.

    End of the day you pay for the internet in your house so your device just connects to it just like your laptop/pc does.

    Hope this helps :D

    Yes, it will be completely free. If you have WiFi switched on, then it will automatically connect (as long as you have entered the network password etc...) through WiFi instead of mobile internet, so browsing using the WiFi will be 100% free.

    There are also several other places such as Starbucks and McDonalds that offer free WiFi, whereas some places may charge for use.

    However, in general, you cannot use WiFi that costs you, without you knowing and accepting the payment terms (and usually you have to provide payment details first!), so you can be confident you're not going to run up a large bill by accidentily surfing on public WiFi.

    As I say though, It will be 100% free to connect your Blackberry to Sky broadband.

    If you need any further help, please ask! :)

    Hope this has helped!

    If you're talking about just using a WiFi signal near you (Your own router or a friends etc) yes it's free, just make sure you turn off your regular mobile internet so you don't use that by mistake. You can connect to any WiFi (Starbucks etc) for free. Other places such as airports may want to charge you a fee to use their WiFi for a day.
