Using my laptop in France. Help, please.?
this should be a simple question for people who know. I'm sorry if the answer is already in Yahoo! Answers. I can't exactly find it. I am going to France for a couple of weeks. I've gone many times before, but never taken my laptop. I used my iPhone last time and my bill was outrageous when I got back, even thought I bought some data plan they told me would cover up to a zillion GB. Whatever. If I find a wifi hot spot in France (secured or unsecured and password provided), do I just get on the same way I would in the US? My friend who lives there tells me a relative 2 cottages down has wifi that I can access when I am at her home. She would be too kind to mention if I were costing any fees. Is it possible someone might have a limit on their wifi and I would be costing them money by using lots of data time (you see how little I know about these things?)? Maybe I am overthinking this. Do I just show up with my laptop and connect to hotspots like I do in the US?

Answer 1 :
A hot spot in France works the same way as it does in the US, if your friend has a download limit, that could be an extra charge, just like in the US. Best advice I can give, is don't stream any movies or Albums, you tube and single songs should be OK. The only way to know what someone's internet plan is, is to ask the bill payer as all hotspots look the same.
