Can your phone really connect to hotel Wi-Fi without you entering the password? Technically, yes, if the network is open or your device has connected to a similar one before. But for one couple in China, this seemingly small detail led to a dramatic breakup.

The couple had travelled to Chongqing for a romantic vacation. Things took an unexpected turn when they were in the process of checking into their hotel.

Hotel Wi-Fi leads to breakup

The woman, surnamed Li, couldn’t find her physical ID and she decided to download a digital version. That’s when her phone quietly connected to the hotel’s Wi-Fi. She claimed that she got the internet access without her doing anything, but her boyfriend became immediately suspicious.

When the couple learned about Li's phone getting connected to the hotel's Wi-Fi, all by itself, he wondered how was it possible unless she had visited this accommodation before.

He confronted her on the spot, implying she must’ve been there previously, possibly with someone else. The woman denied it, but couldn’t explain the technical part. Tensions escalated quickly and convinced she was lying, her partner dumped her then and there.

Li later shared the incident with her friends, who were just as baffled. Wanting to prove her innocence, she started digging for answers.

More details

Eventually, the scene got clearer. It was learned that a different hotel in Chongqing, where Li had once worked, used the exact same Wi-Fi credentials. Her phone had likely saved the login from that location and automatically got connected to this one.

However, before she could figure out things, her boyfriend had already left her. It is unclear whether she tried to explain to him what really happened and wanted to reunite.
