In Shanghai there are some phone-booth-looking objects you can find on the sidewalk that advertise free wifi. I've never investigated how to use the free wifi, but presumably someone might.
- zoom6628 1y agoYou need to be mobile subscriber to that network or else pay per use e.g if booth is China Telecom then if you have CT mobile service the "hotspot" is bundled. If you are say a CMCC user then you can pay to use after registering. It's modelled on the same way that HongKong pay phone booths from PCCW were setup a long time ago.
- thaumasiotes 1y agoThat's actually better than I expected, considering how the airport wifi in Pudong was impossible to use for non-Chinese. (There was a verification procedure involving something external...) I think that's changed now? Still, if you're already subscribed to the mobile service, wifi on the sidewalk isn't worth much.
