Access to free WiFi only in France and Italy?
I plan on taking my iPad but do not need constant internet access so I am not bothering with 3G providers over there. Will my device access open WiFi networks via Safari just as it does here in the US?
Yes, it should. But as always, standard statement on security...be careful what you do on open unsecured networks.

Had to get new hard disk for my macbook. After installing snow leopard on new HD the computer only connects to free wifi at certain places and not others. Took it to genius bar (of course it worked find there!) they said it was fine. But problem persist.
Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

Using Iphone for calls and Wifi only for emails and safari
I have a new iphone which is uk based and have a pay as you go card inside
what i want is for it too only use pay as you go for calls and wifi (free in my house and office!) for collecting my emails and going online -
i have set - fetch new data to off but my pay as you go card took 5uk pounds in one day.
Now if i take my sim out is works perfect - they way i want it for now but I cannot be contacted on the phone!!! opps
Please assist this novice iphone ownerOne of the problems you're up against is that the iphone is designed to always have a data connection. There is no way, currently, to completely eliminate that data connection & still use the iphone as a phone. OS 4.0, when released this summer, will add the capability to completely turn that connection off, but OS 4.0 has not been released yet. When the iphone goes into sleep mode, it will disconnect from WiFi(to save battery) and connect to the cellular data network for any application that might need data. Again, a design feature that cannot be currently overridden.

Please make my phone work in France and Italy!
New iPhone 6 refuses to let me call out or send texts in France. Everything is clicked on. Still Won't let me text EE to get Euday service. EE phone customer service just keeps me hanging on. Can't get through to them. Can someone from EE please switch it on to work Asap. Please !!! My no is xxxxxxxxxxx. Many thanks. Martin
[Mod edit: Please do not include personal/private information when making a public post. Thanks!]Buying a bundle doesn't mean that your device will work aborad you need to make sure roaming is enabled on your account.
If you have a EE extra plan you still need to make sure roaming is enable on your account your plan only gives you free/cheaper calls when abroad.
If your wanting to enable roaming on your account there could be a deposit to pay if you haven't had the device for about 6 months.
Unless you have paid the deposit then roaming is not enabled on your account.
You need to activate roaming on your account by calling 150 from your device or from a landline 01707 315000 before you leave the UK.
But you can still do this if you are abroad.
If you have had the device/contract for 6 months or over you can login to your online account and turn on roaming yourself
Manage this device>Usage controls>Roaming abroad - Allow and Call abroad and turn it on. If the option is not there you need to call
It can take 24 hours to activate
If you had this device/contract for under 6 months you need to call customer services on +44 7953 966250 from a landline.
Once you have activated roaming you can then use this link to see what cost there is and what bundles you can have.

Please read this about voicemail

And this

Also sending a text to 150 with the words of RO country your going to i.e. RO Spain will get you a reply of what the costs will be from that country. -

Can anyone help me Please!!
I have had my C3-00 since last November, and it has been fine, I have used it to access FREE WIFI in other European countries as well as the UK without being charged . That was untill 3 months ago when I started getting charged for accessing FREE WIFI in the UK and in Europe, I have had the phone reset by Nokia and by a Nokia shop without any luck, It is set to always ask when it conects to the internet but it never asks!
Should I bin the phone and get a new one or will Nokia sort the problem?
I am on V 07.20 but when I try to download the newer version it tells me I have the correct version
So can anyone help me, it costs me more than the phone costs to acces internet on the move
JHi,

Select Menu > Settings > Configuration > Personal settings >
Add > Web > account name "My Web" and use preferred access point "yes"
After this setting become active, phone shoul not go to the operator web connection which charges.

What benefits are there to iOS 6 update on a "wifi only" iPad 3?
I am so glad I did a little research first before following through with an the iOS 6 update on my 5 day old 64 GB iPad 3 +wifi. So far, I don't have any confidence there is any improvement on a "wifi only unit", even Siri falls short of expectations in comparison to the basic dictation software already included in iOS 5.1.1- and I am afraid to loose the excellent dictation software. Additionally, it appears the iOS6 update could cause my wifi to become inoperable. Not a risk I am willing to take after dishing out 850.00 of hard earned money to have my iPad deemed useless and becoming frustrated.
Until, there is an actual benefit or improvement to the current iOS for a "wifi only" unit I see no reason to change to iOS 6, unless of course there are some improvements in updating on a wifi only unit that I am not aware of? I really wanted to update but too worried after reading the trouble people are having. Can someone advise what benefits there are in updating to iOS 6 on a "wifi only" new ipad3? I am not sold on Maps (turn by turn doesn't work for wifi), or on Siri to make the change.
Can someone tell me what benefits there are to updating the new iPad3 which is wifi only?Nobody here will convince since you have already made up your own mind. That's fine. It's your choice. If you aren't comfortable updating the iOS - don't do it.
I have a WiFi only new iPad and I have never had any issues at all - with anything concerning WiFi connections or networks - as long as the network was dependable. I am using my personal MIFI hotspot right now and it works great, here are the features that iOS will provide for you If you decide to make the update.
iOS 6 features and capabilities vary between devices, with some features available only with certain devices and models.

Step 3 is important, no matter whether you do this on a Mac or an iPad / iPhone:
Important: Before proceeding to the next step, you must download and install a free application.

My iPad2 no longer connects to my home wifi network but there is no problem connecting to other saved wifi networks. Currently using iOS8.0.2. with storage capacity of 12.2Gb but only 147Mb free. Disconnecting the router and rebooting the iPad worked briefly as a temporary fix but not anymore
You could try this
Temporarily disable security on your home network
See if the iPad connects
If it does then reset the security - with the same or different password -
FREE WIFI AT CAMPING AND CARAVAN CLUB SITES
When I signed up for BT broadband one of the main attractions was that free wifi would be available to BT customers at C&C Club sites. So far I have tried recently to connect at four C&C club sites with no luck, the only way I could connect was by buying expensive vouchers. For instance if you search BT Hotspots for Dartmouth it says that the C&C Club site at Stoke Fleming is a BT Hotspot - I stayed there last week and the only way I could get Wifi there was to buy vouchers at £2 a day!!!
This is a recent press release from BT re C&CC Wifi
Happy Campers to Get Wi-Fi!
BT Openzone will provide Wi-Fi access at major UK holiday and leisure parks including 77 Camping and Caravanning Club sites, three Pontin's sites plus locations at Coastfields Leisure sites in Skegness through a new partnership with Wicoms it announced today.
With more Brits opting for a 'staycation' this summer, the anticipated 50,000 visitors expected at the sites over the August bank holiday can surf, game or make cheap VoIP calls regardless of the weather. BT Openzone users can use any wireless-enabled device to connect to the service via the BT Openzone landing page.
Chris Bruce, general manager, BT Openzone said: "Having the option to get online and stay entertained will provide a useful 'plan B' if the weather does its worst, and being able to look up tourist information and hunt out local gems will make for a better trip."
The service is inclusive/at no extra cost for 4.8 million BT broadband customers with inclusive BT FON Wi-Fi minutes, BT Openzone subscribers, plus O2 iPhone and mobile broadband users with inclusive Wi-Fi minutes in their contracts. Other users can buy a BT Openzone voucher online at www.btopenzone.com, with access from as little as ½p per minute.
Simon Davies, chief technology officer, Wicoms, said: "Lots of Brits have stayed in the UK rather than head overseas this year. Families tell us that holiday sites are another location where they want to get online. Teenagers and gadget addicts are set to be heavy users."
BT is seeing huge demand for Wi-Fi in the leisure and hospitality sector. Customers can also connect at more than 400,000 residential and commercial hotspots in the UK and Ireland including BAA airports, BA lounges, Cafe Nero, Hilton, Thistle and Ramada Jarvis hotels and Starbucks coffee stores. -
i ave an ipad 2 with wifi only, can i get internet access from any cell phone, or do i need a specific phone or type of phone
I received an iPad 2 for Christmas (the 1st Apple item I've ever owned!) and own a Nokia N95 8GB mobile (that's pretty much on its last legs/ready to die any day).
On the Nokia I've got 2 apps (downloaded from/via Nokia's 'Ovi' app store): JoikuSpot & HandyWi. Both are the free versions.
I've not used HandyWi much - if at all - but JoikuSpot has been great. Basically, it creates a wifi hotspot (as pjl123 mentioned) in a couple of straightforward steps, and allows a few devices to be connected. It displays who/what is connected at a given time - so you can check if the guy having coffee behind you is piggybacking your hotspot or not! - data packets sent received etc.
The paid version has the benefit of allowing you to secure the hotspot and other security features. Their website is www.joiku.com, FYI.
Given how slow behind the 8 ball Nokia has been, their phones are getting cheaper and cheaper - given Joiku's meant to work with Nokia S60, Symbian ^3, Maemo, Meego & Sony Ericsson S60, this might be a cost effective option.
Ps. Ah! One more thing - Joiku's website specifies that 3G must be used; that WAP will not work. Good luck, enjoy! -
Dear apple, I am really dissapointed with you. Around January 2013, my iPhone 4s 16GB White has hardware issues, which was the Wi-Fi grey out. The wifi grey out means that I can't access the wifi on/off button, and also it has no connection. I have put up with it for months, until june 7 when I decided it has been long enough, and I got a replacement. I told the genius bar what happened, and I already did the so called "steps" that apple reccommended on the site, which was reset network settings, restore iPhone. The genius bar gave me a replacement phone, so I was expecting that the problem would be over, but it isn't. It seems that it's iOS 6.1.3 which is the case of most public complaints on apple iPhone products. Not even 3 weeks after I got the phone replaced, it is doing it again, so I suspect I'm just going to get a replacement again? Unfortunately I only have until 5th of july 2013 until my 1 year warranty is up. After that, any issue I have, I have to purchase apple care. People are expecting this problem to be fixed but I don't see it being solved any time soon. This is horrible and really low, because I have been a good customer, when I talk to the people at the genius bar, I show the utmost respect I can to them for the work they put into their job, but somewhere there is a problem where something has gone wrong. Because of that, people that only have a one year warranty (which i received because I purchased my apple iPhone at an Optus outlet, once that one year warranty is up, I have to pay for a problem that isn't even my fault? That isn't how it should work, you should be fixing this problem so people can be happy customers and leave happy. Obviously you don't all know how to do your jobs, because if you did, we wouldn't have this problem. I would like a replacement phone, ONCE AGAIN. If this problem occurs again, I will simply stop buying your products, and lose faith in your company, your's sincerely, Jack Maher.
This is a user to user help forum only. You are not addressing Apple here.
My iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, and iPad 2 are running 6.1.3 with no such problem and the same with the overwhelming majority of iOS devices running 6.1.3. -
I can't connect to my school's free wifi. i was able to do it before but not anymore i get the self assign ip addrees message .it has no password only a pop up window before you connect to agree to school terms for wifi use. i don't get that window anymore. i tried everything I can think of.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time. -

HT201441 How will the device get connected to the internet if it's locked and is wifi only?
My daughter left her purse in a fitting room briefly and once she realized this, it was gone. In her purse was her iPad mini wifi only. I am curious how would the iPad get connected to the internet if it is locked? I have find my iPhone activated and since it is a iOS 7 device I put in lost mode and set it to display my phone # and a message for a reward. I am guessing it would have to be wiped clean somehow and re activated to be signed into to get hooked to the internet. Am I on the right track that once this is done and it gets connected to the internet the device will display this message? Any comments will help thank you.
Thank you for your imput Winston. But how is the IPad going to connect when you physically have to put in the wifi password for the wifi? I guess the iPad would be able to access a unsecured wifi? I also read what I believe is conflicting with your statement about iOS 7 that you can send the remote erase and still be able to track? I havent done this yet I want to be certain that if I erase it remotely I can still track. Thanks again for your time.
