Question about 02 SIM Free Wifi

[Eve1275]

Hello everyone,

Can someone please tell me what kind of

mobile phones the Free Wifi SIM is usuable in.

I ask because I have a simple EE MobiWire Pictor phone

which has internet capabilites, but after installing the

o2 SIM (payg version), I can not see anyway to utilise the

Free Wifi part of the deal.

Any ideas out there?

A Big Thanks if you have,

from

Not on Eve's phone unfortunately.

Thank you.

I think I understand you.

It kind of defeats the Free Wifi point fo me

doesn't it?  Thats  a real pity.

At the moment I have a simple PAYG Sim

with £10 top-up on it, to start things off with.

A bundle means monthly payments, am I right?

It was the monthly, regualar things I really didn't

want as I only use it now and again.

If I can connect tomorrow in the store, will it 

charge the usual 3p per minute phone cost

for the WiFi do you think?

Thanks again  ... really ...

Oh, that's a shame.  It was worth a try...

3p is the per minute call charge.

2p per text

1p per mb of data.

Unfortunately, there will be no wifi connection on your phone, at all, ever.

Thanks for that.

I am a bit confused.

How could I connect using my Tariff Data?

Would I have to get a special kind of

SIM from o2?

[MI5]

No special sim needed, yours will connect.
You just need to turn on mobile data in your settings and the phone should do the rest for you but be aware, it will take 1p per mb of data from your credit balance.
What is it you actually want internet for as there might be better options for you?

Thanks Hugel MI5 and pgn

for all your knowledge and ideas

and help.

I get what you mean now, and I will

seek out a different route for a Full

Internet Connection, which is what 

I really need.

A Very Big Thanks to you.

Have a nice night and Good Night

to you,

If you really need Internet on your phone the big bundles are the best choice for value, but it does mean topping up every month.
It is still PAYG but needs a top up each month to renew your allowances.
Choices of bundles can be found here https://www.o2.co.uk/shop/sim-cards/pay-as-you-go

@Eve1275 If you want to be able to use WiFi hotspots when you're out and about, you might want to consider getting an inexpensive smart phone. There are many out there if you search around. You might be able to exchange your current phone at a store like CEX for a phone that probably wouldn't really cost that much more, but might suit your needs a little better. Just something for you to consider.
