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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
