Free wireless connections at the Marriott in TJ ?



Recommended Posts

Anyone know if the Marriott offered free wireless Internet?

What about Mi Doctor Hospital ?

The Marriott has free wifi. They will give you a log in and password when you check in.

I am unsure about the hospital.

At the Marriott my husband had trouble getting a strong enough wifi signal to face chat for us checking in just IN HIS ROOM, but if he went to the lobby or other public access points it was perfectly fine. Just wanted to let folks know that if this was part of your plan for communicating, it really worried him the first day, but we got it figured out and was smooth sailing!

I am going to Tijuana for surgery...my husband is staying home in the USA. I called Verizon and they said that if I am in WIFI at Mi hospital and WIFI at the Marriott, that we can facetime and text for FREE. If we do either of those things outside of me being in WIFI, the cost is 99 cents per minute, 5 cents to receieve a text, and 50 cents to send a text. I hope this holds out to be true!!!

I was scared of us getting a crazy phone bill just in case he wasn't in the correct spot, those phone companies can't be trusted.

Went to Canada right across the boarder got the message from verizon stating we were out of area and immediately turned off the phones. No other data/phone/text were sent and they ended up charging us $20 for their reminder text. They gave it back but ha to prove we didn't do anything.

As soon as they pulled up to the boarder my hubby turned his data and signal off so his phone essentially became an iPod, then we utilized tango and skype and the wifi. We could still text through tango as well as call and FaceTime. Just took all of the risk away because the phone was off, only using wifi.

Have a safe trip and see you on the losers bench!

Silly question, but how do you turn off the data and signal on an iphone to make it become an ipod. Im an idiot with technology.

Ok, cool....I know how to do that.....I guess I just didn't realize the purpose or if that would hinder the use of texting and facetime while in wifi. THANK YOU!! :)

The wifi at the Marriott is limited to only one device per room. So if two people are in the room, only one can connect their device to wifi. I thought that was ridiculous.

dk, you just had to ask for more wifi passwords. They asked me how many devices I had.

The wifi in my room at Mi Doctor (303) cut in and out and I had to ask them to reset the router twice. The nurses did not know how; I only got results when I asked a doctor (Valenzuela's assistant). The 4th floor was great though so I would visit my friend who was in 408 to use the internet reliably.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
