BT Openzone problem in London

Hi,
I live in London, UK, and have a BT Total Broadband connection, which I just realised came with inclusive BT Openzone minutes. I rand BT Openzone and they immediately set up an account for me with username and password, and told me to go to a hotspot with my MacBook and just log in. I have gone to a Starbucks in Central London and started up my laptop and immediately airport picks up the signal from the network called 'tmobile'. So far so good. The problem is what to do next: they told me that just by launching Safari, I would be automatically directed to a page where I would be able to enter my username and password. Well, that doesn't happen. I do get a really strong signal from the network, but the browser keeps trying to contact my homepage, instead of showing the login page for the network.
I have tried several times, but to no avail. The browser keeps trying to access www.bbcnews.com and won't show the login page that should pop up automatically.
Can anyone help? It's really frustrating...
Thanks in advance
Jess (London)

I (obviously) didn't realise that they collaborated!
Did you check for proxies in the Network preference pane? If you have any they might interfere with the redirect [to the billing / sign-in page] that should happen when you try to browse to a website.
You might find that the most straightforward thing is to create a new location with the default settings next time you have a go...
I have never had any problems using any wireless LAN with my PowerBook G4 - including t-mobile (in the USA).

Problem in London/ South of England. Terrible serv...

Hi there, I have a very very diminished speed on my broadband at the moment in London.
I rang BT last night around 9pm and they said there was a fault with all 02 numbers that would be fixed within 12 hours and that they would phone me back today. I work from home in the mornings so it was vital to know what was going on. When I woke up to work this morning the connection was no different so I rang BT for an update. The woman I spoke to had no idea 1. what she was doing 2. what I was saying. She couldn't even answer my question about the information I received the evening before and every time I asked her about the fault I was made aware of last night she just repeated the sentence "We are doing a line check and will phone you back." I asked when I would receive the call back and she didn't know so I gave her an alternative number as I had a meeting at 3:30. As it happened someone rang back within 20 minutes but instead of ringing my number they instantly rang the alternative number I provided and when my friend (the alternative number) told her she wasn't at home the lady on the phone continued to just repeat a script rather than ring MY number that I had given her as a first port of call. They have still not rung me.
My partner has had no connection at his house in Basingstoke since Thursday, so, BT, is this a known problem or are these two isolated incidents?

if you could post bacck this information it would help to see what possible problems you may have they can also be used to fault find your other problem in Basingstoke and if they are also posted back we can advise further with that issues as well

Try deleting any saved BT Wifi, BT FON and BTOpenzone wireless connections, then rescan again for the hotspot you want to connect to.
If you are using an Android device, then "forget" any existing connection as described above.

Orange BT Openzone Problem

Has anyone successfully managed to connect to BT Openzone from an Orange iPhone since New Year?
Neil

I have just got an Iphone 3gs on Orange £35 per month tariff.
Was in Sutton Coldfield on Wednesday nite and tried numerous times to log onto the BT Open Zone using the username (my phone number) and the password texted to me.
I am very computer literate and couldnt get it to log in.
The process isnt too clear though - should we be using BT Open Zone from the initial screen pull down list, or Orange UK (which confusingly gives us a screen telling us its for Business Users to log in only).
Phoned orange on 150 yesterday and got them to send me as new password. When into Sutton Coldfield to try it today - still wouldnt work. Even went into the Orange shop and asked them - they didnt have a clue!!
The instructions on the Orange broadband site are very poor (almost written as an afterthought). If I am to receive access to BT Open Zone for my £35 per month then I feel cheated as I cant do that at the moment!!
Will try to contact orange again later. If anyone has got it to work which provider do you choose from the login screen - the default (BT Open Zone) or the Orange UK one (which is supposed to be for business users?!)

Poor iPad 2 3G signal

So I have an iPad 2 & an iPhone 4. I have At&t service on both. I'm consistently getting 2-4 bars on my phone, but no signal on my pad. Anyone have any ideas as to the reason for this?

I have the same problem in London, 1-2 bars ot of 5, while Huawei E586 has 5 out of 5.

Home Hub 3, Turning OFF Fon.

Hi, I have just aqquired a brand new home hub 3 but noticed the FON is turned on. I turned this off with my home hub 2 as I can't see why I should have to share my connection with other people as part of BT's ever expanding WIFI community.
I wouldn't mind so much if I could have FTTC/H but I am stuck on a pathetic 4.5mbps, which is just less than 3 when the wife is watching BTV On Demand.
Is it possible to turn it off on the hub 3 or have those leeches at BT Retail made it so you can't?

This link is helpful they can also get it deactivated for you

Home page bookmarks save last page in each site I was in; not the home page of that site

I have several websites saved as my home page - fine, this is not a problem; they all open okay. But; instead of going to the home page of each website - which is what I have set, several times now - it insists on going to the last page I had open '''within each website''' this causes error messages & I have to re-load the site, as for obvious reasons it cannot always find the last page I was on. (Example: one of the sites is 'Transport for London'; I set the home page as one of my tabs; but if I have been trying to plan a journey, Firefox will try to open that journey search the next time & will get an error message instead). Is there any way of fixing this? I think the 'set home page' is not working properly.

Maybe it is something to do with
I set all the tabs 'exactly as I want them to open, and click 'use current pages'
Try setting them as th ehome page such as http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ with the pipe "|" separator between each one.
If you do not mind disclosing the info show your homepage settings as pasted from the troubleshooting page. I have just tried
*browser.startup.homepage
**http://www.tfl.gov.uk/|http://www.google.co.uk/|about:home|about:blank|http://www.bbc.co
I have done a journey search and restarted with no problem the London Transport homepage shows.

Traveling internationally with AT

I'm travelling in south Africa with an iPad 2 and am unable to roam onto a local cell network. Had similar problem in London last week. Don't want an AT&T international plan...just want to get onto a local carrier for limited roaming. Have tried to connect to a network with both automatic and manual configuration in settings. Am also travelling with two blackberries and they connect automatically no problem - so know its not a network availability issue.
Any suggestions appreciated.

What do you mean by provisioning for international use? iPad is unlocked and after three days, it did eventually start to to work in London. South Africa is not one of the countries listed on the AT&T international plan as well...am not sure purchasing am AT&T international plan is/should be required to have the device roam internationally.

Hello! The question is this. In London, took the Iphone 5 as sim free, flew to Moscow put Simcoe, and he writes me that is locked to the operator O2. Can anyone encountered this problem? What to do? How to remove the Unlock?

<Edited by Host>

Look at your receipt. Does it say unlocked? It is possible to purchase both locked "sim free" and unlocked iPhones from Apple.
ONLY the carrier an iPhone is locked to can legitimately unlock it.
IF your receipt says that it was supposed to be unlocked, and it is not, call AppleCare. They should be able to straighten it out.

I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems.

subject:         iPad Problem
Sirs,
I purchased my iPad in your London store on 20th May 2012, serial no. DM*******J8T. I have been purchasing apps from the London store, without any problems. Last week, however, receiving a prompt that updates were available, I logged on hoping to update, which resulted in the following window:
>Account not in this Store.
Your account is not valid for use in the US Store.
You must switch to the UK Store before purchasing.<
I have done nothing to facilitate this change in stores and have no way of knowing how to switch back to the UK store.
This is a recent development, I have not had any problems connecting to the UK store before, in fact it happened automatically. Can the fact that I am not actually in the UK now but spend most of my time in Indonesia? This has not effected my purchases from the UK store before, however.
Please help.
Best regards,
Maarten Timmer

TS1702 How do I get iTunes to look into a subscription problem. Twice now my Times of London subscription has vanished on the 27th of the month. Not recognized so I cannot get into the newspaper even though I have 3 more days to go, and have automatic ren

Reporting a problem from my bill just gets me sent around in circles. This has happened before last month, and seems to be linked with the upgrade to iOS 6.0.1. as problems started immediately after the upgrade. My subscription just seems to lock itself out even though it is still current and on auto renewal. Tried all the usual tricks.

All I am getting from iTunes is an automatic reply.
This has been going on since September and the iOS 6.0.1 update. I have been bumped from Times of London to iTunes and back each saying it is the others problem. iTunes is the final auto response after their several suggestions is to go to the creator of the app which does seem to make sense.
It is a bizarre problem. All is okay for about three weeks then I am not allowed into my downloaded copy. If I try to go into a page on the paper which at that point I can see, I get bumped out with a message that a subscription is not available. The app has been re-downloaded (several times from iTunes Canada).
Nothing seems to work. I didn't have a problem with my subscription previously. Have had the paper for several months with no problems.
I have tried to get this message to those who might be able to do something but come up against a brick wall of automated responses.

I have just changed to Firefox from IE. When i pull up my home page which is the BBC.co.uk I have always to reset my local region as it always defaults to London. I didn't have this problem with IE. Can you please supply a solution, thank you

I fixed it!!! Following advice from similar posts, I searched the hard drive for "sessionrestore.js" in my Firefox Profiles folder (you'll need to enable viewing of hidden files in Windows Explorer (Tools > Folder Options > View (then select Hidden files option) then Apply to all folders) to do this). I then shut down Firefox, deleted the file and restarted - my home page was correct and it didn't try to open my old session! Some other posts suggested deleting everything called "sessionrestore" in that folder, but I didn't need to.

I have migrated from London to New Delhi and i am facing some problem with my iPhone 4s and i am not able to setup a repair .My phone is in under warranty too. Can anyone tell whats the matter?

The warranty is NOT international. You must take it back to the country of origin if it needs repair. The E.U. is considered a single country for warranty purposes.

After seeing the production of Matilda in London I purchased the whole sound track and it did not completely load. I've never had this problem before so I just forgot about it. Today I am downloading an album only to find out it's missing the voacals. Do I have to start just settling for these kinds things. I'm feeling taken.

HT4623 I buy one i-phone 4S from store wingate house 93-107 shaftbury Avenue,london.W1D 5DA.tel no. 020 7851 0817 on 30/sep/2012.my problems is, I can not activate my phone because i stay in malaysia ( when i connect using sim card malaysia DIGI line) pls

I bought new i phone model 4S from 3 comunication store wingate house 93-107 shaftbury Avenue,london.W1D 5DA.tel no. 020 7851 0817 on 30/sep/2012.my problems is, I can not activate my phone because i stay in malaysia ( when i connect using the sim card of malaysia DIGI line) it does not read malaysia sim card.Pls help me, how should i use this malaysian digi sim card and deactivate this 3 comunication sim card so i can use any type of sim card in any countries.
The phone details are as follows:
Serial no : 1151NVQLIKA.
My last 6 digit no in my sim 020287.
My 3 no 07450453838
My sim no 8944200009770020287

You probably won't be able to use a Malaysian sim card in your phone. If you purchased the phone from 3, then it is probably carrier locked to 3 and it won't work with any other sim card.
Nobody here can do anything to help you. You need to contact 3, so you need to ring them or go back to the store where you purchased the phone. Not a lot you can do other than activate with the original 3 sim card in situ so that the phone will work.
You can try activating the phone with the 3 sim card and then try swapping them, but I suspect that the phone is carrier locked to 3 and you need to contact them for help. Noone else can do anything really except them.
