Re: Hot spots

Is the problem just with the VM app and Android 11?
IIRC There was a way to treat a VM hotspot in the same way as any other, without having to use the VM app. EG You could setup a Windows Laptop to use a VM hotspot. Not sure if it still works. From a few years ago.

Quote:
To connect without the app,
1. Choose the WiFi network "Virgin Media"
2. Username is your VM account email, "vmedwifi/*YOUREMAIL*" eg. vmedwifi/myemail@yahoo.co.uk
3. Password is your VM account password
VM hotspots can be useful in certain locations, eg London Underground.
Quote:
WiFi hotspots locations include:

  • Cafes, bars, restaurants
  • UK airports - Stansted, Manchester, Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Glasgow International
  • 250+ London Underground stations and in all Glasgow Subway stations
  • Selected UK streets - phone booths and cable cabinets

They also might be useful in the event of your BB going down and a neighbour is also with VM.
