Your airport wifi doesn't ask for your email, phone number, bank number of your life savings, etc?
Usually it asks for an email, but you can just input a fake one.
It's me toast@fake.com
for a lot of captive portals I type random crap like stevejobs@apple.com or jdjdidneiejdjeksneidnei@gmail.com
Bob@dole.com
No. Where are you that it asks you for info?
The bank number for life savings was a joke but for some reason they wanted me to verify (I didn't btw)
Oh I know that. Common verification joke people use.
I've never been asked for any information to use airport wifi, that's why I was wondering where they do ask.
Istanbul requires a Turkish phone number or for you to scan your passport at a console.
Places where the airport wifi is actually an evil twin.
As someone who travels for work, it seems like most places ask.
