I usually use it when mobile reception is poor, not to save money. I've found poor reception inside larger stores to be a very common problem.
- synaesthesisx 9y agoIt would be a shame if large stores intentionally blocked cell reception so customers would use WiFi instead....
- pilsetnieks 9y agoIt would also be illegal and terrible for their image. Imagine, for example, the shitshow that would arise if they were caught intentionally blocking calls to emergency services, among other things.
- thefalcon 9y agoAt some of the big box stores near me it doesn't even need to be intentional, they're just in a near blackout zone with my carrier. Their Wi Fi doesn't tend to perform a whole lot better though.
