Hi there

Very irritating, I can't tell my S6 to forget O2 free wireless connections.
Normally you long press on a connection and have the option to forget it, but not O2 WiFi. I tried deleting my phones profile in the O2 wireless app, but all that does is constantly redirect me to a registration page.
I don't want my phone constantly trying to join useless O2 WiFi hotspots a I'm walking around London. I have a 20gb contact and it's just irritating, causing unloaded pages and breaks in streaming media.

Please somebody tel me how to remove it! And don't say "just turn off wireless" because I need to connect to others.

hi, and hello to everyone that needs this fix

go to o2wifi.co.uk/account then go on devices, and just remove everything, then you wont auto connect any more.

i cannot stand when companies try and inflict their services on you without a choice, which is why i moved to android from apple. really really bad showing this O2, really bad.

I have a Galaxy S6. It was bought unlocked from Amazon. It has never been used on O2, (though the number was prior to 2012. It STILL connects to O2 wifi with no way to stop it. I've logged into my old O2 account but there is nothing there to delete.

 

How can I stop it connecting to O2 wifi?

 

Thanks.

 

Tom

Turn off wifi I guess - dunno why it would still be connecting but you could also try installing the o2 wifi app and disconnecting / logging out from there?
