o2 free GPRS works with webviewer!!

Posted by marknicholls
Ok....this is odd....

o2 free gprs (crappy WAP ONLY aceess point) does not work with opera webbrowser....or netfront.....but it works with webviewer.

As im accessing the web pages through GPRS WAP, should all this web browsing be free as well? or does o2 notiice that im browsing http pages and not wap?

Thanks

Http is a protocol and WML pages are transmitted via same protocol as HTML. They have probably blocked the port that html use (80) but webviewer somehow gets through that. Just a thought...

Well, I haven't got any clues about it but this might help: On my 610, I had all the data accounts and profiles installed when I bought my phone... At the main wap profile when I changed the data account from wap-gprs to gprs-internet, both my webviewer and other java programs that used wap to get info from server started working... Also, my email account didn't work until I changed the wap account to gprs-internet...
