up to 100 meters. To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need
access to a wireless access point of your service provider.
When you are in public places such as in a coffee shop
or restaurant, you will need access to their public wireless
access points (also referred to as “hotspots”).
The availability and range of your phone’s Wi-Fi signal depends on
the number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal
passes.
