     I traveled a lot in the spring/summer of 2019/20 and when I checked into   
   a motel I would be given a wifi PW which were usually the along the lines of   
   motel name and a three or four numbers.   
     At times I would stop at a burger joint and use their free public wifi to   
   check a map or something.  I seldom brought anything.  I pulled onto their   
   lot close to the building, get the information and continued on.   
     Usually it about a wrong turn I made along the way or needed  more   
   detailed information than the map I had offered.

   are connected to it   
      
     My old SE has a similar feature.     
     I would be hesitant using an unknown wifi signal.  Not that I have   
   anything on my phone.  I'm old-fashioned, to be its a phone not an extension of   
   me.  I don't have anything much that's confidential on it.   
     I never, ever, use it for mobile banking and the like.
