Using Labtop for pc to phone calls?

Question

What I need to know is. Instead of using my cable modem for calling guys on my labtop using pc to phone.
Who gets the bill if you use your wireless connection and just log onto one of the many neighbours internet connection?
I use my labtop outside all the time connecting to neighbours networks, so why not make calls with their connection.

Answer 1

I better not be one of your neighbours or i'll kill ya if I get a wireless bill from someone!!!!!!
Use your own and pay for it yourself

Answer 2

If you use someone elses network you will still get the bill, the connection is still using your information, it's just being passed through a hotspot, or their connection.
The real question is why are you making pc to phone calls outside, do you have something to hide from someone in your house?

Answer 3

You have to be careful. Several states have already instituted laws which bans use of other's people broadband connection. In addition, if you use other people's connection, it would be easy to trace you. For example, your on the Internet and decide to log on to your bank account, any information you enter is easily captured.


"Florida man charged with stealing WiFi" -- wikipedia.com

July 7, 2005

A Florida man is being charged with 3rd degree felony for logging into a private WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) Internet access point without permission. Benjamin Smith III, 41, is set for a pre-trial hearing this month in the first case of its kind in the United States.

This kind of activity occurs frequently, but often goes undetected by the owners of these wireless access points (WAPs). Unauthorized users range from casual Web browsers, to users sending e-mails, to users involved in pornography or even illegal endeavours.

According to Richard Dinon, owner of the WAP Smith allegedly broke into, Smith was using a laptop in an automobile while parked outside Dinon's residence.

There are many steps an owner of one of these access points can take to secure them from outside users. Dinon reportedly knew how to take these steps, but had not bothered because his "neighbors are older."
