Connect to wifi in europe.

[Guest enterusernamehere]

So I will be on vacation to europe or a couple of weeks. The places I will be staying at have wifi. I was told my phone wont work in Spain, b ut I do not want to take one of our laptops.

Can I shut the phone off on the phone and turn the wifi on and be able to get on the internet?

Are there any settings I would have to change to get on their wiif on my phone? Is there any real security risks to it?

Thanks in advance,

Joshua

you got to check whether the wifi is free or u need to pay for the use.

either one, u need to get the login and passwd and logon using the browser before u can use.

U might want to check with the ppl there where u stay, any specific settings or just connect and go.. ;)

WIFI or IEEE 802.11 is a standard and it doesn't depend where you are. It's all the same. But some people use different encryptions and additional software and that would make it hard to connect to those spots. So don't worry just make sure that it's free and open network or that it has a WPA1/2 or similar encryption that your phone supports.
