Hi.
I regularly use the various free Wifi hotspots when out and about on my iPhone but I am having a bit of trouble connecting to the O2 Wifi hotspots with my Wifi only ipad.
It seems to need a separate Internet connection (cellular) to get onto the landing/login page.
Even on the iPhone I can't access it if I have no signal on the mobile network.
All other free wifi hotspots provide the landing page via the connection you are trying to log into.
Is the O2 free wifi only for use with mobile phones? It does say you don't need to be an O2 customer and the help page even provides a step by step setup for iPads but doesn't mention the need for 3G etc first?
Am I missing something simple?
Many thanks
Jodrell
