Hotspots requiring web based authentication are not supported: Does this mean that I need to open my home and office network and keep it free for every bypasser to use just to allow this phone to work?

I understand it such that you cannot use the phone e.g. in a hotel room where you normally, when you open your browser, get redirected to a web based authentication page where you have to enter your credit card or other authentication information in order to buy airtime. For this, the phone would need an included web browser, which it has probably not (it could use Opera). What you are talking about is something different - the WEP (not WEB) based encryption is possible as far as I understand. So you do not have to open your network.

HelloNot without port redirections & static WAN IP addresses on your router, or use of dynamic DNS.There are apps for iPhone but I'm not sure about other phones.I really wouldn't recommend this camera anyway, the light/dark auto-gain issue gives too many false alarms - even when viewing & the sun comes out, the picture flashes rapidly.Cheap product cheaply made. Avoid if possible.Cheers,Ashley

I've connected to my mobile hotspot and to my home WiFi (using Century Link service and modem) with no problem. These are the only two connections I've tried.

Yeah I think you can access the Internet and what not as long as you have an Internet provider. You can use calculator, music, etc. just can't send/receive calls or texts.

I believe this thread may be conveying an incorrect message. Engadget did a full review detailing use of Joiku for mobile hotspot functionality on the Nokia 808. They had difficulty with a built-in Nokia app (part of Symbian) for WiFi browsing using SIMs from two different providers, but once installed Joiku had no issues.

I can get my email and access the web using either verizon's mifi modem or AT&T;'s laptop connect modem. Haven't tried using an unsecure wifi modem like starbuck's but don't see why not. The device scans for wifi just like a laptop and lets you know what is available if they are secure or unsecured and if you have the password for the secured networks you can get on the net.

We purchased this phone for my father who has a Verizon account. He had the same issue. He was not sure for an upgrade. No problems setting it up on the website by ourselves.

Basically yes. There are a few requirements, there has to be a wireless hotspot nearby, if it is protected you must know the password.

The extenders do have to connect to an existing network that may require a password. However, if the hotel you are staying at uses a 'splash' authentication page, it will not work.

Thanks alot!! I finally got it to work when i changed my security from WEP to WPA2. Now its wondering why i have to put in the security key everytime i want to go on line. ?????

Assuming that you're not the one who is driving - you'll want a phone with a data plan that supports a "mobile hotspot" - which sets up a very small wireless network. Then you just log into it just like you would log into any other wireless network.

I've not down loaded any apps. I mainly got it for Internet access while away from home. Sorry! Wish I could've been more helpful

I have serious doubts about connecting using this method and would recommend using a Android/Apple based phone or Ipad. I believe the fact XP is getting so dated would mean it would not likely have all the support drivers needed. Its a nice device though and I have really enjoyed it since buying a few weeks ago. I mainly connect with my Motorola Moto X through Republic Wireless and it works flawlessly. Best wishes

Yes! In order to access the internet, you have to have an unlocked sims-card! It isn't a good phone tho, so I wouldn't recommended no one to buy it!
