CrowdRoaming
Connecting to the Internet abroad continues to be a headache for most users travellers And the thing is that Roaming entails a quite high billing, assuming a considerable increase in spending despite being almost a necessity, especially in cases in which the user gets lost and needs to consult an address or search for relevant information Something that the European Parliament has proposed for its complete elimination back in 2015.However, until then, continuing to use Internet data through a Spanish SIM card abroad continues to entail a great cost. Unless using the app CrowdRoaming
This tool proposes taking the wiki or community philosophy to the field of data connections of the smartphones Thus, the user who travels abroad can take advantage of a nearby connection to carry out any type of procedure, be it contact a relativevia WhatsApp, update a profile from a social network, send an image or consult any information of interest completely free, without the need to increase the telephone bill. All this in a comfortable and practically automated Of course, being necessary to find other users of CrowdRoaming
And that is where the key to this application resides. With it, the user allows to transfer part of the data from their Internet rate to share them with other people who come from abroad and need a connection without entailing exorbitant prices . In fact, it is completely free However, therein lies its biggest problem, and that is that being generous with the rate of data may be too a new and altruistic concept for many, although everyone can benefit from it, especially when traveling abroad and a connection is needed.
The operation of the application itself is really easy and automated. Thus, you just have to install it and create a user account by entering a name, apassword and email where a message is sent to confirmation account creation.After that, CrowdRoaming is activated, allowing share the current connection if you are inside the territory . The good thing is that the user can limit the total consumption that others can make of his rate. To do this, simply slide your finger across the bar to establish the total number, being 20 MB the minimum and 100 MB the maximum

However, when the user uses it abroad, the application automatically takes care of searching for other connections of users of the same application. And it transforms the terminal into connection points which, according to their creators, are totally safeWith this, the user has a limit of MB marked by the person who gives them and, when these run out, he looks for another available connection.
In short, a tool with a curious operation and a, perhaps, difficult philosophy to implement In any case, it is already available for terminals Android through Google Play, without that it is necessary to spend not one euro. And you, Do you dare to use this application? Would you give away part of your data so that other users wouldn't have to excessively fatten their telephone bills? Would you take advantage of the connection of others if you travel abroad?
