Reading texts on an O2 Pocket Hotspot

Anonymous — Mon, 06 May 2013 23:45:51 GMT

I have an MF60 O2 Pocket Hotspot and its display shows the symbol 'You have a text message'.
If I go to http://o2.mobilewifi/login.asp I can see the number 5 alongside the symbol but how do I read these 5 messages?

I have installed Connection Manager - I think correctly - but when I open it, the little O2 'program' window shows 'Please enable your Wi-Fi', but how do I do this?

My hotspot is switched on and is still plugged into my PC. Do I unplug it or what?

(I think O2 are sending me validation codes but I can't access them).

Can anyone help please?

You should not have to install connection manager for the pocket hotspot only for a usb dongle.

I thought you just logged in to the pocket hotspot i.e. the first screen when you connect to it there should be an icon top of the web page to read them but I only had one on a trial basis.

Can't think why I missed this link, but then navigating round some of the O2 site takes you to some unexpected pages.

Thanks to you and the fact that I decided to read the ZTE MF60 Quick Guide (I downloaded it months ago when I bought the Hotspot but then forgot about it), I was able to read my txts last night - and learn a few other things besides.

Cheers, beers (or a malt?)

The link does not work.

I am using windows 8 and it does not install a connection manager.

Also I cannot update a payment card when I go to upgrade my account. For some reason my card was accepted the first time, not accepted on monthly basis and now cannot do anything with the account because I cannot access any messages,

Please help.....
