First time using Android, starting cheap...https://www.walmart.com/ip/RCA-11-Galileo-Pro-with-WiFi-11.5-Touchscreen-Tablet-PC-with-Keyboard-Case-Featuring-Android-6.0-Marshmallow-Operating-System/53990867. Usually $179, today $79. I like the ability to use the detachable keyboard.
Anyway, connect to Wi-Fi at home with no problems. Went to coffee shop, could not find the coffee shop Wi-Fi connection (found plenty of others). Other people there could see that connection in the list of available Wi-Fi connections, I could not. One person had two phones, one with cellular coverage, one without, and he had the coffee shop Wi-Fi connection listed on both. On my iPhone 4s, I could not see it, my provider is Verizon. Those with phones that had Sprint, could see it.
So, besides the possible different hardware technology (phones, tablets), is there also a difference in what you can see in Wi-Fi connections, between carriers?
BTH, yes, I will be using a VPN.
