Asyn, Thanks for answering my second question.

Davidek - Thanks, thus it seems that Avast VPN is a great value for $19.99/year for a few Android devices. As it may benefit others here are my first impressions. On my first device it readily installed, informed me of the 7-day trial period and worked fine. On my attempt with two other devices (same Google account) it installed (without mentioning the 7-day trial period) but failed to ‘initialize’. Nonetheless one of these last devices (cell phone) received a text message inquiring if I wanted to login to an available open WiFi… When I double-checked the VPN installation still would not initialize but it did allow me to change settings to preclude text messages whenever an open WiFi is detected… My best guess is that during the 7-day period one can only test the VPN on one device, but that additional devices will be allowed once subscribing to the $19.99/year offering. I’ll report back later…
