EE WIFI hotspots

Go to solution

Hi,

<Moan Mode = On>

I find these annoying. The BT WIFI app would connect automatically as soon as BT WiFi Hotspot was in range. I didn't need to enter log in details..

To connect to an EE WIFI Hotspot i have to wait for the log in landing page to show. Then accept /reject cookies. Then select Log In then select customer type BT BROADBAND. It then takes you to User ID which one entered click next to the password screen.

So I end up having to do five or six operations to log in. Why are the ID and password on separate pages. Why doesn't it allow auto complete for ID and password. Why can't the BT WIFI app be rebranded and made to work with EE hotspots.

I see this as a backward step 

<Moan Mode=Off>

After reading your post I did what I should have done first. Deleted and reinstalled the WiFi app on both iPhone and ipad. Entered BT ID sign in details and lo and behold the app now connects to the EE Wifi.

Thanks

BT App no longer available on the App Store. This is quite annoying. Having easy hotspot access was one of the (few) features keeping me with BT. Since this has gone it’s going to be goodbye overpriced BT. My 4G is now quite good and everyone will be losing the copper phone line too in a couple of years so can’t see many reasons to stay.

So, sort of fixed - by losing a customer.

@Gasman2020everyone will be losing the copper phone line too in a couple of years” 

Where FTTP isn’t available the copper cables will be remaining beyond Jan 2027 to provide FTTC. It’s only the PSTN (Public Service Telephone Network) at the exchanges that are being closed down.

Yes, you are right - it was just lazy shorthand to say I will be needing an ip based solution anyway. 

But the BT Hotspot app is still not an answer to this question …

BT has merged with EE and all the BT consumer products including BTWifi have/will be rebranded to EE. 

There is no longer a BTWifi app because BT no longer provide BTWifi hotspots. They are now known as EEWifi hotspots.

EE have as yet not released an EEWifi app and it is not known if they ever will. Meanwhile you can log onto BTWifi by scanning and selecting EEWifi hotspots and once selected open a web browser and log on to EEWifi as a broadband customer using your BTID and Password.
