This is why your phone connects to carrier Wi-Fi — and why that’s usually a good thing
Public Wi-Fi networks shouldn't terrify you, but it's reasonable to be shocked by your phone connecting to a network you didn't authorize. For all you know, an unknown Wi-Fi network could have weak security protocols and represent considerable risk. However, there's one time you shouldn't be worried about your phone connecting to a public Wi-Fi network automatically. If you have an AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile plan — or even use a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) using those companies' cellular networks — you can expect to see your phone connect to public carrier Wi-Fi networks.
