Can i use bt openzone on orange

BT's web site says "There's no difference to you when using the hotspots. You can connect to all of these hotspots for free if you're a BT Broadband customer. I am posting this having bought a pass to Orange WiFi. Go to Solution. If you are a BT Openzone user with a a monthly subscription, or paying by a voucher, then you can use third party sites.

Perhaps the chaps in India should be given access to this forum and BT change their statement that Openzone and Fon are the same thing, worldwide.

Its a fairly obscure problem that the helpdesk would not comprehend, as they would not be familiar with partner sites. I can testify that the FON network is outstanding. If something is good then why should it be prevented. Three cheers for fibre optic cable connections — always reliable and less chance of snooping.

Fast crisp and clear. I mostly use my 3G connection when out and about. But recently in a national pub chain I tried The Cloud as I am sky bb customer. I was impressed. Easy connection, fast delivery and no trouble at all. My wife was with me and her device could also connect without problems. By connecting to a public WIFI hotspot you are joining a random network of devices that can be infected, running a MITM attack, sniffing the network or actively hacking your device.

There are some listed as being open however I am unable to actually access them as the business has decided to lock them for some reason. So who scoffed your grub while you was fannying about playing games in the restaurant? As soon as I saw you take your device out I would have picked-off the best bits on your plate but still expected you to chip your share of the bill in.

Every time I go to a restaurant it takes them 30 minutes for me to get my meal which is more then enough time to have a race or battle on Mario Kart.

I have never been away and not found one within about yards; I may have to stand in the street but I can get a connection to read and respond to emails. We had cottages in towns and villages and have often been able to get a connection from within the cottage. I use to use a laptop but now rely on my Ipad for connection. I fear that you might worry some pacemaker users unnecessarily. I have not seen warnings about broadband, but mobile phones should certainly be kept away from pacemakers.

Anyone with frequent dizzy spells should certainly seek medical advice. I wonder what would happen if a customer signed up for the BT openzone thing and then replaced their homehub with a different router. I am tempted to try and get this openzone thing on my account but not replacing my current router with the homehub so meaning no1 can actually connect to my internet. My husband has a pace maker and cannot be where wireless is.

I also get dizzy if in an area for too long that has wi-fi. Any pitfalls to be aware of? The big challenge is to get a useable signal when using mobile broadband. I bought a 3 MiFi several years ago and it has been both my favourite and most annoying gadget, depending on whether I have a decent signal.

Therefore I did not expect the advice of changing client-side settings to work, and it didn't when I tried it. If Orange doesn't validate my MAC address immeditely, then the login page is presented in the browser for me to enter my user ID and password, which is likewise transmitted to Orange for authentication.

Are they right? BT Openzone have said that the single login requires the iPhone's Keychain API to be updated and to continuously match the required credentials. What is the Keychain API? User profile for user: Izakbar Izakbar. I am getting same issues iPhone4, on Orange iOS 4.

Other guys at work hav O2 iPhone 4's on 4. I am unable to get it to log me in boo but I can get it to log me out of OpenZone when logged in. I havebeen told that I can login with phonenumber btopenzone. If we could work out the login details for Orange - might be a work-around to use this app? Message was edited by: Izakbar.

Having to log in manually every time you visit a BT Openzone hotspot is impractical however you do it.

It means that as you walk around any urban area in the UK, as soon as your iPhone sees a BT Openzone wireless network, it will connect to it, but until you authenticate manually, your iPhone will lose all internet connectivity.

You may or may not know that this has happened, so until you realise this, you won't receive any e-mails and any other background apps e.
