Using Openzone - wifi hotspots

Hi,
I can use my Touch on my home network and other people's networks flawlessly - Internet, iTunes etc. etc.
However, I have a subscription to BT Openzone. I can connect to Openzone from the splash page, and it accepts user name and password, giving a message saying 'connected to Openzone'.
However, when I then try to use the internet, it just loads up an Openzone page telling me how long i've been on line for. I can't visit any other sites, or use iTunes, MyTube etc. I have tried opening a new window but get the same screen no matter where I try to navigate to.
Any suggestions for how to get around this would be really appreciated
Dane

I recently brought this issue up on the BT Openzone forums.
It looks like it is a country wide iPod Touch / BT Openzone issue on the Touch.
This could be a BIG oversight by Apple and needs to be fixed IMMEDIATELY as BT Openzone is in the top 3 Wifi hotspots providers.
Surely, it was tested in the UK by someone somewhere with all the major hotspot providers.
The thread for the issue can be found at the BT forums: http://www.beta.bt.com/bta/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=514

  • Mifi 4510L - Use Verizon Wifi Hotspots

    I used to have the Mifi 2200 - and was able to cable up to the mifi - and use the Vz Access Manager to authenticate to the verizon wifi hotspots at airports, etc.
    In getting the 4510, I see the Access Manager is no longer used/needed/supported, so how do I authenticate now to use the wifi hotspots...
    Support, and my local store had no clue.

    The Verizon WiFi web site is specific on who is eligible.... and it was part of my purchasing decision on the MiFi 4510L and my 2 year contract.:
    From http://support.vzw.com/clc/faqs/VZAccess/verizon_wifi.html#item7
    Who is eligible for Verizon Wi-Fi service?
    If you are currently signed up for a Mobile Broadband or GlobalAccess monthly service plan on a month-to-month, one- or two-year contract term, you are eligible for complimentary Verizon Wi-Fi.
    Note: Prepaid Mobile Broadband, Mobile Broadband Connect, and smartphone users are not eligible for Verizon Wi-Fi.
    So, how do  MiFi 4510L customers get this to work?

  • BTFON / Openzone WiFi Hotspot Locations

    Hi, 
    I'm often out and about with just my car keys and laptop for company.  Having discovered BTFon it's nice to get on the net..... BUT...... 
    I need an internet connection to find where my nearest hotspot is !!!  Is there any software I can load on my laptop to show me the locations?  I believe there's an app for the iPhone, but I don't have an iPhone.
    For instance, a map showing the positions of the hotspots when I last was on the net.
    Any help would be appreciated, thanks

    I was guessing they coudn't see it on the main settings page. My experience is that it doesn't show up there until you've enabled it under Cellular. Apparently, I was correct. This time.

  • How to clear wifi hotspot history?

    [Nokia 5800] 
    Hi,
    I recently used a wifi hotspot whilst on holiday, which was unsecured, but once you started to web browse you where prompted for a username/password, which i had.
    Since coming back, i now have a problem where sometimes when i try to use wifi, my 5800 will try to use this wifi even though i am no where near to it. Is there any way to remove the wifi history/cache to prevent this from happening? Some apps default to this and i cant use them, like bbc iplayer for eaxample.
    thanks

  • Where is the Personal WiFi Hotspot option in iPad Air 2?

    Hello Bro,
    I recently bought a iPad Air 2. I wanna use Personal WiFi Hotspot, but I am finding the operation. Will anybody help me in these issues,
    Thanking you in advance. 

    Well you have Personal Hotspot using cellular but not using iPad Wi-Fi.
    Also only if you have a Personal Hotspot supported carrier.
    Check if your carrier is on the list:
    iPhone: Wireless carrier support and features - Apple Support
    If your carrier is not on the list then you do not have Personal Hotspot.

  • How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?

    How can i use "phone relay" on a iPad mini over iPhone created wifi hotspot?
    It works nicely over home wifi, but for example, i am sitting in my car, phone is in my pocket and I'm using the iPad, call comes in and i don't want to start digging for my phone.
    Is there any way?
    devices:
    iPad mini cellular (no SIM card at the moment)
    iPhone 5S
    Thanks!

    well yes, but it basically makes wifi for the other devices, it basically mimics wifi.
    as i get from your answer, it is not possible?
    it would be common sense to make it work this way also. directly from device to device. no bounce between WiFi router
    Then again, common sense is not that common these days...

  • Hi... I've had my IPhone 4S since January 13, and it doesn't have the option to use it as a wifi hotspot? When all my friends iphones do. Is there a way to install in onto my phone? Or what do I need to do to get it??

    Thanks

    Whether you can use your phone in this way is entirely the responsibility of your phone company/carrier.  You need to contact them to see if you can add tethering to your phone plan.  Be warned though that it could get rather expensive, so if you don't really need it, then do without, but in any instance, you need to contact your phone carrier.

  • Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

    I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac.  Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

    No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option.  With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month.  If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether.  You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you.  Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

  • My wifi hotspot on my iPad can't be used. Does it have something to do with the device?

    I try to use my iPad hotspot on my android device. I managed to connect to it once using wifi hotspot. And now, everytime I try to reconnect. It won't work.

    1: Backup your user files folders of Documents, Music, Pictures etc., to a external powered drive (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
    2: Insert the 10.6 installer disk and reboot holding c
    3: Simply reinstall OS X without erasing the drive, it will overwrite the installed version of OS X and the root level software, but leave your Applications folder contents (expect Apple bundled programs) and user files alone. (but backup anyway in case it fails)
    4: Reboot and the Integro is gone out of your system, but there may still be something laying around in Applicaitons to delete. Use Software Update to get up to date.
    5: You don't need anti-virus on a Mac, Apple provides it already for you sight unseen.
    6: If you Software update, the bad certificate issues are pulled, thus are not a threat.

    Hi ihtisham301, 
    Thank you for visiting Sony Community! 
    Try to connect any different device to your home network. If other device can't connect then you may contact your Internet Service Provided (ISP) for further assistance. 
    If other device can connect, then try to isolate the issue. You mentioned you cannot connect to the network but you were able to enter the credentials before connecting to the network. Try to ping any website, Start -> search cmd -> once in command prompt, enter ping googe.com and hit Enter. Check the Ping statistics. Try to ping your router as well. ping [router IP address] then hit Enter. Also boot the laptop in Safe Mode with Networking -> turn off the laptop, press the power button and immediately, tap the F8 key repeatedly. Once in Advanced Boot Options, select Safe Mode with Networking. 
    I'm not quite sure about the process that you did. I never tried that before. And another thing is, it seems that you are using a non-U.S. model of Vaio. We usually have Windows 7-64bit computer. We have limited information with non-U.S. model of laptops. 
    For further assistance regarding your concern, please contact the Sony offices/Sony representative offices nearest to your place of residence in Asia Pacific region http://www.sony-asia.com/countryselector.html?hpid=countryselector:AsiaPacific. Due to proximity, they are in a better position to respond to your questions or concerns.
    Hope my suggestions help. 
    Thanks,

  • Is it able to be used as a wifi hotspot?

    is it able to be used as a wifi hotspot? (The AirPort)

    If you mean to plug a 3G / 4G modem into it.. NO.. apple has made no provision..
    It is solely usable as a wireless router plugged by ethernet to existing modem or modem router.

  • I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and back

    I would like to use my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot to provide Internet at home (I do not have home internet) via a Time Capsule which I currently use the TC simply as a home wifi network without Internet to enable things like printing wirelessly and backing up data wirelessly via time machine.
    I have a Mac Pro, iPhone 6, iPad, Apple TV and Time Capsule. No home Internet.
    Is is possible to have my iPhone 6's wifi hotspot used to provide Internet to my wifi network on time capsule? Has anyone else had success doing this? I'm not a tech head and really know very little about things like this. Thanks. Jen 

    You can have a go using a wireless bridge.. eg the airport express will do this.. you can join it to the iphone wireless running as a hotspot.. and then plugged into the TC wan port.. the TC has to be setup in router mode.. so this is going to give you double NAT errors.. and of course errors for all the time the hotspot is turned off.. but it can work. However you might find it requires you to manually connect up each time.. If you are really going to try and do this you will manage it.. but how fiddly it becomes might put you off after a week.
    You will chew up your 5GB very fast using any streaming media even radio. So be very careful to track the usage.
    Apple should have built in the TC the ability to plug in a wireless 3G modem.. via the USB but Apple have ceased to do adventurous stuff.
    If you give up the TC as main router there are plenty of better products on the market that will handle multiple wan connections.. !!

  • I am unable to setup my 2011 Macbook Air as Wifi Hotspot. Tried both using LAN and Data Card(USB dongle)

    I recently shifted to a new place and it will take a while for the telcom company to install the landline and DSL connection. Until then, I am stuck with only a data card at home and a LAN cable from a neigbours router(he doesnt have WiFi).
    I have been trying by all means to make my MBA a WiFi Hotspot but it never works. I wish there was a tool like connectiy for Mac. Cant it be as simple as its in the iPhone, I use it for tethering(BT,USB,WiFi) with a click of a button.

    Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
    Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
    But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".
    We are secured by "Cyberoam" so I don't have access to proxy sites.
    By the way these observations are for Windows 7.

  • Received mysteries text regarding a code send from my own Iphone after using a unprotected public Wifi-hotspot

    Today I received a text from my own Iphone number displayed as +28 18 xx xx that I have not written myself. It said I now had a new code thas was xxxx without specifying what for. Just before I got that text I had used a couple of different public wifi-hotspots. Should i be worried? After i searched Google all I could find was that it was a possibility your Iphone can be hacked on Wifi and the other option was that the code I received maybe was from the Verified SecureCode by Visa & Mastercard that I did sign up for a long time ago. If that was the case someone would be trying to use my credit card. If anyone could help me to disclose why i got the text from my own Iphone I would be very grateful.
