I made “free” internet.

In Australia we have an ISP that provides a Huawei USB back up. You can find unlocking instruction online. Works anywhere in Australia. SIM can be used in a generic wifi hot spot. People throw them outa lot as they frequently get over ordered. Lostcin post etc. I have 3.

Autofill with my fake profile info.

Name: Go.
firstname: Fuck.
Email: [email protected]

Check email for verification link.

But the trick with these is, in order to check email they need to connect you to the internet, even if just for a minute. If you just need the internet to sync the latest IMs and emails, that is good enough.

I've never given a real email to these. I just bash the keys on my phones with random letters and decide whether it's going to be gmail, aol, or yahoo that day...

Here's a secret those free wifi providers don't want you to know: usually, they don't check your email or ask you to verify it, so you can just enter [email protected] If they do show a second screen asking for an email, just create a tempmail adress on cellular and switch back to verify. It works 99.99% of the time.

Edit: you also don't have to enter any real personal information, how would they know?

I always use famous people, just in case someone is checking the data and assumes that Tom Cruise or Sydney Sweeney decided to stop in Cambridge for a quick bite to eat in Nandos before staying in the Travelodge.

I always do 1970-01-01 to confuse the developers

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Now that's good, even better if you throw some error characters into your other info

... and uses the wifi there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

The only reason I'm using the wifi is because there's bad 5G reception.

I just clone someone else's already active mac address, it works every time

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

This is a beautifully simple solution! I hadn’t thought of that but I’ll have to keep it in mind.

Do you think you’d have to move closer to another AP? I do think a duplicate a MAC address might cause connectivity problems at least while connected to the same AP.

Bro, just one more piece of info bro. Come on bro, just one more piece of your personal info and I'll let you sign on to the "free" wifi. Bro come on bro, just one more piece of personal info, it's no big deal for some wifi bro.
