Tips & Warnings

Some locations that offer free wi-fi may only operate during listed hours.
Free wi-fi locations may require that you contact a representative of the location for a password or log in name.
A location listed as offering free wi-fi may not always be true. Check the most recent visitor to the location to validate free wi-fi prior to arrival. Phone numbers to some location may be listed for you to check yourself.
If free wi-fi is no longer available, as a courtesy, make a record in the listing for review.
