I want to opt out of BTFON!

I had an updated modem for my bt infinty service last weekand I have just notice that I have been "opted in" to BTFON.
I dont want BTFON and when I check the status section of the BTFON site I get the message "Customer product is not on allowed product list"
Please can someone advise me how to opt out?
Thanks

Opted out of btfon but router refuses to comply

After opting out of btfon I expected my router to turn these features off, this however is not the case, it is still broadcasting btfon and openzone.
My friend tried to connect and did,
why is my router being used for this service when I deliberately opted out?
My understanding is that when you opt out, the service is turned off automatically, is this not the case?
Finally if I need to, how do I go about turning it off in the router, I've looked but cant see a way of doing so.
Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Hi jeansmith16 and welcome
When did you opt out as it can take around 72 hours for the deactivation signal to be sent to the hub. Having said that there appears to be some issues with BTFon atm, I too have had the same issue as yourself...
Also -
being opted in, yet the hub isn't
opting out and hub opts in
having a mod deacivate the service on the hub and the BTFon map still showing my hubs (map is a rough guide and won't show the exact location for privacy/security reasons) BTF/BTO SSID's as active
Anyway, we used to be able to call the BTFon guys directly on this number 0800 022 33 22 (then selecting the Fon option), but it now seems that BT have added this number in to the black hole of the BT call centre.
So you can either wait it out in hope that the hub sorts itself out or contact the mods and ask them to have the hub deactivated.
As a side note, there is no means of turning it off when the hub is showing you as opted in

HT4436 I want to opt out of iCloud. How do I do this?

I updated to Maverick and suddenly iCloud is everywhere and there is no way to opt out as I was able to before. I don't want it being in charge of my files or passwords or anything. But it seems if I uncheck the items it decided to take over (Contacts, Documents, etc) my computer will delete them. I feel strongarmed into using iCloud.

Backup your data and sign out. Restore the data after you sign out. This is not complicated.

I accidentally opted in to the automatic reporting to Mozilla that came with the new firefox. I want to opt out. How?

Firefox automatically upgraded me to 7, which is fine, but when the page loaded there was a query at top - something like, "do you want to help mozilla by automatically reporting site load times etc."
I clicked yes, I meant to click no.
How do I opt out of this automatic reporting to Mozilla.

I see how now - Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General.....Uncheck the box 'submit performance data'

If you selectedi opt out before the migration date, then your files will not be migrated to Revel. If you did not select opt out before the beginning auto- migration date (which has already passed) , then you ether have been migrated or will be migrated. Since Revel is free, why not give it a try?

HT3702 I want to opt out of the automatic charge on my credit card for THE DAILY. When my subscription is up in one year, I do not wish for it to be renewed.

What must I do to opt out of the automatic charge for the App, THE DAILY?

I want to opt out of iCloud.

I don't think I signed up for iCloud when I started up this new mac. I keep getting a notice on my screen, (really annoying, all the time) that iCloud is having trouble with the password. I have been ignoring it for some time but I want it to go away. When I went to uncheck "documents and data" from my iCloud it tells me that it will delete it from iCloud AND my computer! I don't know what is saved but I don't want it to delete ANYTHING from my computer.
How do I avoid this and not have iCloud in my life.
I don't use iTunes with my Apple id, I share my husbands and I am afraid it is also going to screw that up.
I am now on Mavericks.

Sadly, it deleted my whole calendar, even tho I only used it on the laptop. I am sure I will be missing documents, music, etc. I have been using Macs since 1991 and this incident just *****! I avoided this because I thought this would happen. I hate to update for this same reason.

BTFon opt out issue

I opted out of BT Fon middle of last week and if I 'check status' via BT Fon webpage this confirms I have been 'opted out'. However, the Openzone and BT Fon hotspot still shows on my router (HH2 Type B).
So what do I do know ?

Wait - it should happen automagically after a while. If the wait gets too much, I believe a router reset will do the trick, but I don't use a HH2 so can't be sure.
Good advice there Ian, but automagically!

Why can I not use any map website because I am prompted to download Maps Galaxy for Firefox which I do not want & am provided no opt out option?

I have attempted to use Google , MapQuest and Yahoo map and directions and cannot view the resulting directions because a message appears on the screen requiring me to download MapsGalaxy for Firefox toolbar. I am happy with what I can do currently with the map and direction web sites and do not care to download this toolbar but I am not even offered to opportunity to opt out. There is not even a description of the benefits offered if I would download the toolbar. I'm not one who enjoys being force fed things I did not request. What goes on and why am I being forced to download this toolbar in order to continue to use the map web sites? Thanks for your assistance.
I have a screenshot of the message but am unable to figure out how to include it with this detailed description.

Hi,
Firstly I'd like to clarify myself: I'm not working for any hardware and software vendor. I've posted few times: they (all of them) don't sell printers, they sell inks because in many cases total cost of a new set of inks is more expensive than a new printer with inks (I know cartridges are not full). Since inks are very expensive, many people use chip resetters, continuous inks systems .... to reduce printing cost such as some thing like one of this.
Regards.

Opting out of BT Wifi being made impossible by fru...

For the last week I have been trying to opt out of BT Wifi FON, however when I click the link on the BT site and go to
www.bt.com/btfon‎ my BT internet address I set up for for mail is not recognised and says "invalid username/password" (incidentally the email I set up BT ID was a non-BT email so there is no option to input this).
After twenty five frustrating minutes on the phone to customer services trying to explain that my problem was NOT that I couldn't connect to BT wifi FON (I am readily able to do that with my BT internet address) but that it was that I couldnt log into www.bt.com/btfon‎ to opt out, I finally got put through to someone who said I needed a 'registered' BT email address. She set one up for me and said I would be emailed with a password within 24hrs to my non-BT email (ie the BT ID email address I had set up). Incidentally I was advised that they could not opt me out of BT wifi at their end and that I would need to do this myself through the www.bt.com/btfon site.
Predictably this email never arrived and so I called again and after another half hour of trying to explain the same thing to a different adviser who had no idea about the email I had set up by the previous advisor, this advisor uttered the dreaded words "so you can't connect to BT wifi?". Aaaaaargh! I CAN CONNECT TO BT WIFI, I JUST NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOG INTO www.bt.com/btfon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ended up putting phone done in sheer frustration (how many more times can I explain that I CAN CONNECT TO WIFI, THATS NOT THE PROBLEM!!!) and submitting a complaint. I just hope it's dealt with by someone who actually finally knows what they are doing!
As a new customer I am totally fed up with BT already. I am trying to solve what should be a simple problem and have been left frustrated and inconvenienced by the appalling customer service. The telephone advisors seemed to have no knowledge of the trail of events in my case (don't they have an electronic log of these somewhere they can look at to see what earlier advisors have done?) and just seemed to select their response from a selection of pre-defined phrases rather than actually understanding and responding to the problem.
Came to BT from TalkTalk expecting an improvement in service, not more of the same.
And finally, why on earth aren't customers able to disable Wifi with FON through the homehub admin settings? Absolutely frustrating.
Rant over (for now).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Many thanks to the moderator who has offered to resolve this, much appreciated but the matter is now resolved.
However to update- after another frstrating call from customer services that offered no solution (just the same repetitive misunderstanding of my problem which I won't go over again as I've ranted about this in previous posts!) I stumbled upon a seperate button in the My BT pages that said to press to opt out of wifi.
I expected it to just take me to the link that I have been unable to log into (for the reasons given in my previous posts) but it didn't, and gave me an immediate message saying that I would be opted out of Bt Wifi within 24hrs. Must admit I didnt expect it to work but it did. I subsequently ignored my callback messages from BT customer services as I just couldnt deal with the hassle, having already wasted about 3 hours on the phone trying to sort this out. Not one single advisor had mentioned that I could use this button instead of the BT wifi opt out opt page I had been trying to access.
In conclusion, if you are trying to opt out of BT Wifi and cant log into the page that the BT site links you to (due to not having a registered BT email address), dont waste your time trying to explain it to BT customer services unless you want to be repeatedly told that your problem is logging into a BT hotspot when it isn't and that you will be given a registered email (that will never work- despite having one set up and being given a password by an adviser over the phone this was still rejected by the bt wifi opt out page). Instead, have a dig around on your My BT and look for the opt out button.
Once again, thankyou to the moderator DavidM that offered to help but I am going to leave it here as the outcome I wanted has been achieved ie I have finally been able to opt out. No thanks to BT for the utterly useless and inconsistent advice provided by their offshore call centres.

Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings...never did really. Also JAVA now refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox.

I use PaleMoon now trying to get rid of advertising sharks. I have WINXP still - need assistive-technology computer for pain so taking time on getting new computer.
I have been severely sabotaged by advertising conglomerates selling my private information. They have no right -yet they do whatever they want. Anyhow...I've tried to OPT-OUT of EVERYTHING POSSIBLE. I've tried 5 places found. Google, NAI, DAA, & FIREFOX HELP said go to about:config was instructed to turn "from false to true" the "privacy.tracking.protection.enabled" .But I couldn't keep this setting because this also has to be set to false to use any saved log-on's to my accounts., and add-on AD BLOCK PLUS 2.6.7 when I was on Firefox & had some ticks and now it is disabled because it won't work with PaleMoon 25.2.1
This case is about GOOGLE OPT-OUT. Starting here: http://www.google.com/settings/ads?hl=en&sig=ACi0TCgWymel0CNWxdcnEWPzWNs9wDd7cVQHxHsmtz4w30CAyHk7MqyzzZdGh3m6FpDaJsKmunTLEvJZY5LAm3h6gIdzE30L-Q
There are 2 columns. The left one "ADS ON GOOGLE" NEVER RETAINS AFTER LOG-OFF. The right column "Google ads across the web
" seems to retain sometimes - if I remember right it falls off after a period of time as opposed to after just LOGGING-OFF. Below the columns there are options, but I don't have a GOOGLE ACCOUNT.
Also down there is this link: https://support.google.com/adsense/troubleshooter/1631343?hl=en ...you see the box with this: Advertising industry program participation
Google is a participating member of groups that have developed industry privacy standards like the Ad-Choices icon for online advertising.

....I clicked OPTED OUT FOR NAI on their link http://www.networkadvertising.org/
...I clicked OPTED OUT FOR DAA on their link http://www.aboutads.info/
...I clicked PROTECT MY CHOICES and downloaded the app.
These 1st 2 links used to have the same trouble and didn't retain ANYTHING and wouldn't re OPT-OUT ANY UNTIL THEY WERE SATIATED - saying I didn't have 3rd party cookies allowed when I did - this took hours.
I sent numerous trouble reports to them that they ignored - then I think I sent one to Firefox and it is much better but still not completely right. Today DAA retains 106 out of 122 and if I repeatedly RE-OPT-OUT successively I can get it to 121 out of 122 - never completely. (currently the one not taking is Accuen Inc. but it changes periodically - makes me think they set one up to take my info and then share it with all of them - lol )
Same for NAI currently I started with 94 out of 96 - next re-OPTED-OUT got it to 95 out of 96 and no further and same co. Accuen Inc (accuenmedia.com ) wouldn't update.
NOTE: I was copy/pasting the list of NON-OPT-OUT'S to them and my own document file to try and find trends/problems...now NAI programmers protected the list from being able to be COPIED AND PASTED!!! That's the opposite of being open and interested in making this work, right? Why would they want to allow us to OPT-OUT of their criminal espionage behavior...RIGHT? (lol) FYI: I recorded that the big one that was always retained before this one was...MEDIA MATH INC.
MANY Opt-outs would drop off while on-line and ALL would drop-off once logged-off. Now it's retaining most once logged off - but it hasn't been long enough to tell if they'll fall back into their bad habits as they've done before...
This has been going on forever for me - I've been reporting this malfunction since 2013.
Of course I downloaded PROTECT MY CHOICES FOR FIREFOX via NAI AND DAA'S links ...http://www.aboutads.info/PMC#protect-your-choices-for-firefox ............they both go to the same place???.....PROTECT MY CHOICES http://www.aboutads.info/plugin/install/firefox....that seems odd...it's as if they are the same entity then. ABOUTADS is DAA'S WEBSITE. NAI'S IS NETWORKADVERTISING.ORG so why would NAI use DAA'S PROTECT MY CHOICES app?
Lastely, I also requested that the COOKIES NAMES BE UNIFORMLY IDENTIFIABLE. All the OPT-OUT COOKIES that are to be forevermore retained on my computer and that I am to trust the EVERY FUNCTION OF - well they all have different COOKIE NAMES!! Most of the names you can not tell that they are OPT-OUT COOKIES!! - SO NOWWW They have created another problem.
We can no longer just "DELETE ALL COOKIES".
PLUS, we can no longer go through our cookies and delete individual ones that snuck through.
Every one of the OPT-OUT COOKIES SHOULD SAY "OPT-OUT" IWITHIN THEIR NAME OF THEIR COOKIE - PERIOD. RIGHT? (LOL) For real. Why was this mess was allowed?
REALLY IN MY OPINION THESE COMPANIES SHOULD BE BLOCKED AT THE LOCAL PHONE COMPANIES LEVEL - IN OUR SERVERS. We should not have to deal with them. Same thing with viruses, malware and such beasts. But I digress.
In summary:
1.)Google Analytics OPT-OUT Browser Add-on 0.9.6 doesn't retain OPT-OUT settings
2.) JAVA refuses to create updates for WinXP/FireFox/PaleMoon.
3.) DAA & NAI still don't retain ALL OPT-OUT settings and never completely OPT-OUT all companies.
4.) OPT-OUT cookies should be uniformly names with the words OPT-OUT in their titles.
5.) Ad Block Plus 25.6.7 doesn't work for Pale Moon and there is no alternative - (didn't work great in FireFox)
Right now I'm mainly interested in #1)retaining my GOOGLE OPT-OUTS while on line AND while logged off since it is attacking my computer and steeling all the speed until it freezes my keyboard.
Currently I am trying to remember to run through 3. OPT-OUTS every time I log on.
Thanks so much!

hello, palemoon's support forums are here: http://forum.palemoon.org/

I have OPTED OUT of hot deals (and 2 others, the third will not let me its behind its window) and it will not turn off - how do I turn it off forever?

You have an opt out option.
THIS opt out option has a forever option.
IT DOES NOT WORK.
I have opted out forever on the stupid )(&**%^*&()*^ tab that occurs in the MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN, covering a THIRD of my screen (and at 62cm - this is over kill!) .... FAIL. (at least 4 times)
I have opte dout forever on the stupid tab on the RIGHT side of my screen......FAIL.(at least 8 times)
I am unable to opt out forever on the tab that appears on the bottom of my screen, as the opt out options appears BEHIND the window I wish to opt out forever of. (I call this EPIC fail.)
When I am reading a story on line, I DO NOT WANT TO SHOP. If I am shopping in Amazon for a book, I will be reading about that book. IT IS ANNOYING TO HAVE TO CLOSE OUT WINDOWS EVERY TIME I SEARCH FOR A NEW BOOK - consider that I search/buy around 15 books at a time - after checking out maybe 50 that these tabs open over the TOP of.
I also wish to get rid of the underlines with the green circle-thingy arrows that open pop up windows if I mouse over them. (there are 3 of them under this box I am typing in as I type, and nudging the mouse out of the way has opened up at least 4 stupid pop up windows - which I have blocked pop ups in the options...so WHY???????)
I realise this can not be fixed on the spot, as it is going to require an actual programmer to fix it but please, pass this up to or over to whoever CAN fix it. I have used firefox since before patch 4 after it went live. I ADORED the old "you are F****d (etc" page you used to have that was directly opposed to internet explorers page not found - and I actually took the time to read it and had a terrible time stopping the laughter (at work of all places) when I did. I do not want to change browser, but these *features* do not enthrall me - especially since *features* should be optional, and turning them off should work.
Thank you for your help, and I hope you have a great day/night and no more horribly painful people like me. <3 x o

thankyou. THANK you.
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
sorry about no screenie but the first option worked (at least so far!)

How can I opt out of marketing texts from EE?

I receive marketing SMS messages from EE on a fairly frequent basis. They never have an option to reply "STOP" as there is with other marketing texts. I've browsed the My Account section on EE and can't see any options there to opt out either. How can I tell EE that I no longer want to receive these texts?

Hi
Unfortunately you cant stop them by replying STOP.
As XRaySpeX mentioned you would need to give us a call and advise customer service you would like to change your Contact Consent.
Hope this helps!
Thanks.

I want to opt out of BTFON!
