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.

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)

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

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.
