WiFi commonly uses to refer a wireless technology or wireless fidelity. WiFi Zone is those areas with wireless accessibility or what they called Hot Spots or WiFi Access Points. In this area, you can connect your device via WiFi hotspots or WiFi access point to access the internet.

WiFi hotspots or WiFi access points are the one who open the communication for internet connection. Private WiFi access points are mostly password protected while WiFi spots in Malls, Food Chains and other public establishments are open to access.

Turning on your WiFi device in your phone doesn’t mean you are already connected to the Internet. You need to connect on WiFi access point in order to access the internet. Try this link for a better understanding about WiFi Phones: http://www.wisegeek.org/what-is-a-wifi-phone.htm.
