So do you meen we can't connect to our own box with fon, I have never been able to connect with that choice in my list anywhere though, even though it says I have an excellent connection, mystery to me.Ahhhh.light bulb moment for a very dim Bertie. That Fon that's illuminated is that part of your box which BT provides for other users. WE can't access that as it's separate from our BT account just as outside FON users can't get at our bit of the box. Stupid Bertie should have twigged when you said at home!

I have only one email address, the same one I have had for over 10 years.Yep the FON part is for other people and not part of our account. There is obviously some issue with your account and as has been mentioned earlier it might be as simple as having a different email on your main bt account.
What gets me though is it says I am connected with excellent signal but it just won't work

Yeah cheers mate, don't have to rely on it so it's not drastic but it just gets tome when something doesn't work when it's that close to working.I can imagine your frustration, but until an expert comes along I don't think either of us is going to find the answer. Grr

Why, your home bt router is far faster than fon.At home.
If you have bt broadband, and have everything set up correctly, the connection to bt wifi hotspots is automatic on mobile devices and at no time do you need the routers password, unless you want to connect directly to that routers connection...which is not a free wifi hotspot....you then use that persons internet account.The bt-wifi hotspots are private secured networks normally accessed/connected to using the key printed on the back of the router. Normally you only have to enter this key code once as it gets remembered by the PC or tablet or phone

I know all this and as I said not drastic, but in my list of connections it is there and says it is connected and the wifi thing comes up but it just won't do anything, never had it work anywhere , here or france, just happen to be trying it at home because that's where I am now, and it's not just this ipad it's the same on all our things about 4 phones , same amount various tablets says it's there but isn't.If you have bt broadband, and have everything set up correctly, the connection to bt wifi hotspots is automatic on mobile devices and at no time do you need the routers password, unless you want to connect directly to that routers connection...which is not a free wifi hotspot....you then use that persons internet account.
you only have to select the one you want from the list of hotspots.
if you dont have a bt broadband account you can connect to the hotspot, but not the internet.
the only time have to input a routers password is if it isnt a bt router.....ie: daughters SKY router...and that a one off action.
Yes it is connected....to the wifi only, not the internet.it is there and says it is connected
Yes it is connected....to the wifi only, not the internet.
your bt account needs setting up properly for free hotspots whether it be fon or not
have you registered and requested the function.
Took me ages to get it right.

I have seen that first photo, once or twice when in france but never been able to get past it, anyway I have been on the bt wifi site and loged in and checked I am opted in and all that , all seems ok , so going to try again when I'm out somewhere, busy now but maybe later this afternoon.As a test, I have just connected to my neighbours "btwifi-with-fon" (step 1) and when I start a browser (step 2), I get this screen...

I log in with the "fon" option and away I go...
Sounds like you have two separate issues then... Not getting the login page is the first & worst, then maybe an account/login id problem after that...I have seen that first photo, once or twice when in france but never been able to get past it,
