Anyway, I went through many iPhones on O2 (failure under warranty and two breakages) and I seem to recall having to text a shortcode - something like 8282 - and waiting for a reply text, and then waiting for it to realise my login as it was based automatically on phone number. Or maybe that was The Cloud? Either way, and I think it was Openzone, I'm surprised you don't get that sort of information when you try and login with your phone number.
Either way, I never used BT Openzone... usefully, BT have set-up all their BT FON routers on BT Total Broadband to also have the SSID BT Openzone, and that's not included in the O2 offer. Anytime you get connected to one, that's the end of your internet access unless you want to pay BT for access to some poor sod's internet connection!
Where do you travel through in South East London to lose FM signals - presumably from Crystal Palace and Croydon? I'm a broadcast engineer by trade so quite interested as a South East Lahdaner.
Either way, you should at least get 2G with O2 with their 900MHz allocations - that should get into all but the thickest tunnels on the Southeastern Greenwich line!  |
Actually, I lose FM around the Catford area, on the train from Lewisham.
Anyhow, I did phone O2, and they did tell me to text that number, which I have done a few times.
