Using my neighbors internet?
My sisters iPod is connecting to it, my laptop is connecting to it but my iPhone 5 just won't connect. I've restarted it multiple times, turned airplane mode on and off, and even tried to manually connect but it just says that it can't find the network. Help please? I really need it for my apps and such.
Get your own internet
It's actually a crime to hack into someone's Internet without their permission.
If you are using such connection without permission it's illegal but it's your choice, if your iPhone 5 can't connect check if his signal is strong enough or he might set the router to stop connecting further gadgets. Router has a lot of setting that can reject items from connecting to such device. Try to connect your iPhone to another router to make sure that your iPhone Wi-Fi is working.
Although it's not looked upon kindly it most certainly isn't a crime to access public wireless networks as people do this all the time around the world. Internet cafes and other places where wireless connections can be accessed have no rights to say you can or can't access them, just like your neighbours network. It's your own responsibility to protect your network, not someone elses to not use it. If you iPhone won't connect it could be due to the a connection limit on the network or the iPhone doesn't have the same range as your other devices, either of these are going to be annoying to resolve. It would be best if you just got your own wireless or if you used a public connection at a cafe, if you encounter problems with doing that then you should probably contact Apple or your Carrier.
You got some pretty dumb neighbors… Good luck fixing your phone.

- Why does my iPhone still charge for Internet even when I'm not using Internet? So, I recently got a pay monthly plan with my new iPhone 4s. When i'm out and about I'm usually updating my twitter and Facebook account. But, when I'm put my phone down, 3G still says I'm using it and charging me. So do I have to turn it off when i'm finished? Or is there a much easier way?
- Why can I not connect to my neighbors Wi-Fi? Me and my neighbors are very close, we go to each other s houses and have the password to each other s Wi-Fi. However, when I got my iPhone 5s I was unable to connect to their Wi-Fi. I can connect to anyone else s including my own Wi-Fi. My brother and sister can connect to it easily, so it seems to be just my phone. I know they did not block it from me because they ve tried to connect me themselves. Any idea what's wrong or what I could do?
- My Iphone is not letting me access the internet or internet based apps? I have an Iphone 5. Never had any issues but now it won't connect to the internet or any apps. It does the same thing it does when I have no service (just has that little circle symbol that means it's trying to get through). Orginally, I thought it must be a universal problem but everyone else has service and they are in the same location as me. Also I always use my phone here with no problems. I have tried turning it off and on again but nothing.
- My iPhone 4S won't connect to neighbors Wi-Fi? I have a iPhone 4S, I tried to connect to my neighbors Wi-Fi but every time after I put in her Wi-Fi password, it keeps saying " unable to join the network '___' ":( I went into her house to check out her Wi-Fi router, but i couldn't figure it out… Can anyone help me? Why does my phone keep saying that its unable to connect to my neighbors Wi-Fi?
