Whisher is an application that allows you to receive free WiFi access from its network, where available. Unfortunately, that means that this free Whisher WiFi is not as widely accessible and convenient as some of your more traditional means of connecting to the Internet. However, the network is growing steadily.

Whisher is able to supply its WiFi access for free because it is fueled by other Whisher users, such as yourself, who allow users of the network to hook up to their home internet service. Whisher's growth is dependent upon more people downloading the app, signing on for the service and agreeing to share their home internet access.

There is no risk in joining the Whisher network. You will not lose control of your internet service or WiFi network because you join. WiFi networks registered in the Whisher application are secure and protected. Users have complete oversight in terms of who can access their own personal network.

The idea is a brilliant one. This huge and free WiFi network is being created through the aggregation of users' home WiFi connections. You do still have to pay for the app use, but the price will decrease as the service grows. It is a win-win situation. The more people share, the better for everyone.

This growing WiFi network is perfect for those on the go. It can save you a ton of money and hassle when you need to find internet connection fast and do not have your own portable source. The service is easiest to find in larger metropolitan areas, but it is expanding.
