So the phone can't connect to the Apple Store???
Wait. Apple Store? An unsecured network shouldn't prevent you from browsing items to purchase via the Apple website.
You have miss the "n". Well I am connected to an free wifi in a truck stop and I can't acces the Apple Store even in app purchase. It shows up but I can't do nothing with it
Oh, so you mean the App Store and not the Apple Store. Even so, an unsecured Wi-Fi network should not prevent access to the App Store. Having said that, the Wi-Fi network at the truck stop could be configured to restrict certain types of traffic on its network, but I'm only speculating.
On my android work phone I can go to any web site to download any related apps for my work
Iphone no can do
Right, it is my first time using iphone in a very long time. So everything is new to me.
But the fact remain I should be able to download the truck's one app I need.
Last night what I did was connecting to my work android phone using the secure connection I set up to download certain apps related to windows. Now I can't do it cause I went over my minutes one he work phone
Now I'm confused. The thread title is in regard to an "unsecure Wi-Fi", but now you're saying you should be able to download a truck app of some sort and you've gone over your minutes, etcetera. What is your primary concern or specific problem you're having?
It has nothing to do with the wifi.... secured or unsecured. If you have an internet connection you can download apps. There is nothing "Phone specific" stopping you from doing that Android or iOS.
Like I said in another post. Using wifi in this forumAre you able to get to other sites other than Apple Store? If so, then you have an internet connection. If not, you don't and that's why you can't get to the appstore.
I am using the iPhone 7 on wifi here in this forum so I must have internet connection
Are you using the "app" for the App Store, the blue one? Or are you using a browser on the phone and trying to connect to either the app-store or itunes or something. It's not very clear. I have downloaded apps in the car, at a truck stop, in a restaurant, on a train, etc.. so I am confused what you're actually doing. Are you correctly signed into the app store in settings with your apple and/or iTunes ID?
Also you could be using your iPhone data to connect to this forum, you can surf websites over data too.
Right now I'm using the browser to access the forums like I've always done regardless of phone.
I should have also mention in my first post that the phone is on airplane while on free wifi which does not required a password.
Make me think it's a limitation of the iPhone.
Last night I used a secured wifi from my android work phone then I could access the apple apps store.
You were talking about getting an app. My question was addressing "how are you trying to download the app?" You said you were getting errors. There is no limitation on the iPhone stopping you from downloading apps to the phone on wifi secured or unsecured. As you're not actually answering the questions asked by those trying to help, I am not sure who can help or if you even really want help. Again to get an app onto the iPhone use the App icon / app on your iPhone and NOT A BROWSER. It looks like this..
