WiFi hotspots

Biker2day
On our wavelength

My children go to secondary school in a village with very little signal (phone or Internet). My daughter passed out about a mile from school the other day and struggled to contact me - which is concerning. All providers seem to have bad signal from speaking to others so I don't think changing providers would help. I've just downloaded the Connect App to see if that helps my signal when I'm over there, but can my daughter also use hotspots (assuming there are some near her school). It seems to need my account to log in to the app. Thanks.

Virgin no longer operates it's own public WiFi Hotspots. The hub based hotspots were turned off on 1st November 2023.

Technology cannot solve all problems. In your daughter's case see if she can travel with another person.

Appreciate that,  but technology can often help. She travels with my son. Unfortunately his signal kept cutting out when he tried to call me too. Thanks though.
