Help. I've recently changed phones from Galaxy S3 to A8 but kept the same sim card. Now when I go to various pubs where I used to connect to 02 wifi, I have a problem. My phone shows the 02 wifi then tells me I'm connected but that is as far as I can go. If I try to look at the weather app or use a browser I'm told I'm not connected to the web and before the pub chain web site used to pop up and welcome me back but nothing happens now..
I gather from looking around that it's because I'm using the same number on a different phone and O2 recognises that number with a different phone. (IMIE or MAC number or something. Apparently I need to de-register the old phone from O2 but have no idea how to do this. Any help please.

Thank you kind sir. I'm jujst a bit puzzled though, if I'm not on the net surely it wont recognise what I type in my browser.
Thanks again.

Follow these steps:
1. Go to o2wifi.co.uk/my
2. Set up an account if you haven't already.
3. Sign in with the email and password you picked.
4. Go to Manage my devices.
5. Remove the old device.
You'll have to add the device to your account again if you want to use it with O2 Wifi.

Many thanks but I forgot to mention one thing - I only use O2 wifi, I am not an O2 account holder. Well I am now since the problem but I have no phone registered with them. I have now ordered an O2 sim PAYG and if I can't solve the problem, I'll use the new number.
Many thanks.
