My brothers and I have attempted countless times to explain to our mother the difference between WiFi and mobile data, including that you should connect to WiFi to save data and that you don’t need a functioning SIM card with data to use the WiFi at the airport when arriving from overseas.
I love my mother but I am struggling to comprehend the incomprehension. If anyone has some kind of simple or fun metaphor or something that explains it, I would be forever grateful. Thank you.

Is your mother going on an international trip and you’re trying to explain how she can save money by not using mobile internet? I’d start from that angle. Explain that if she uses mobile internet overseas, it gets expensive, so here’s how you turn that off. If you need to use the internet, hotels, restaurants and other places have wifi you can use. Here’s how you turn that on. But if you leave that place, you won‘t be connected to the internet, so when you go somewhere else, look for wifi.
If that’s too complicated, you may want to look into getting a foreign esim. There are apps where you can buy esims that have like x gigs for y days, and stuff like that. Compared to using your mobile internet overseas, it’s a lot cheaper, but it requires a little set up.
