WiFi not working except at home

I have an unlocked 1.14. Email and web thru Wifi at home to my AEBS works great. I am using IMAP Gmail.

Internet apps thru Wifi anywhere else does not work. I can't access my email or browse websites. Can't figure it out. Errors I get are "Can't find the Server" for Safari and Connection to Server "imap.gmail.com" failed for Gmail.

I do seem to be connecting to a network when I try this, the wifi symbol is on.

Any ideas?

Thanks from Vancouver.

I actually have the same issue with my Ipod touch... Same version as yours but not unlocked

tangram- When I'm a Wi-Fi area, select "settings"-Wi-Fi. Any usable networks should show up. Select the network. If it has a lock symbol, you'll need a password.

If the WiFi network you are trying to attach to is a commercial one (at a Starbucks for example), you likely need to "sign up" first. People who travel on business with a laptop are familiar with the drill. You turn on the machine, startup your web browser and you have to register or log in, and agree to terms (and frequently, payment details).

Only if you do this can you access the net properly. If you do not do this, you see the WiFi signal all right, but you are being blocked by the provider from using it.

I have never tried registering like this from an iPhone, but I presume that the same ideas apply. The WiFi provider doesn't know that you are on an iPhone, not a laptop. So, select a WiFi network from Settings and then start up Safari. You should be redirected to a registration type URL. Once done, you should be "good to go".

BTW, at least in my area, the WiFi at Dunkin Donuts is completely unlocked and available for use without any sign up. Of course it is painfully noisy at most Dunkin' Donut stores, what with all the kids and all...
