Hi, this may be a silly question but I'm going skiing on saturday and I think the hotel we are in has WI-FI. If I connect to the net through this on my mobile phone will I be charged but my service provider?

Thanks,

Pete.
I'll get me coat!

    The WiFi connection is being provided by the hotel and the service is already paid for.

    You cannot be charged for using a WiFi connection since you will not be connecting through the network.

    No Pete. The hotel may charge you for using the service with a small fee but certainly not your service provider. Ask at reception whether there's any fee? It maybe free.
    If I've help in anyway, please remember to thank me :-)

    Did it in Turkey last year with no charge, all I had to do was inform reception and they gave me the login details,.
