Am trying to register for O2 hotspots but all I'm getting on my i phone 4s is to go to a hotspot to register.
Surely if you have an account with O2 you should be able to register for hotspots without wandering around looking for one?

My wifi automatically works on phone, is that enough or do I need to download the 02 wifi one?

No you need to log onto an actual wifi hot spot the same as you would any wifi.

The reason you need to do it in a hotspot is becuase most public Wifi reads the MAC address from your wireless card when you sign up. Its like a wifi address for your phone / tablet. The MAC address is formated with letters and numebrs e.g. XX:11:YY:22:ZZ, then next time you are in a hotspot the wifi network remembers the MAC address and lets you on as you signed up before.
Only Android and Windows Phone apps can copy the MAC address and sign you up outside a hotspot. Apple removed this capability from apps a few years back (iOS 7 i think) for all apps.
