hmmm i dont have acces to the 02 menu. It only has T-zones and defaults to there!!!
I tried getting settings from 02 site but they do not have the E398 listed


Posted by dude_se
well on my k500 which is orange branded when i put in my 02 sim there is an o2 menu in connectivity. and an orange plus one with my orange sim. pm me if you want me to send you the o2 settings.

i have the settings for the free GPRS but have nowhere to type them in i think the feature has been disabled by Tmobile

Posted by dude_se

Posted by beeb
not working for me anymore on O2. Spent £10 on gprs without even knowing thinking I still had it for free! D'oh!!

Does anyone know any other settings to get gprs or even wap for free??

cheers

Posted by jippyuk
Any chance of PM'ing me those free o2 Gprs settings as well? And how free do you mean?

As in i can browse the web on my phone and it will charge me nothing?

Posted by beeb
the settings don't work anymore though! they used to but now I'm getting charged!

does anuone know of any other free settings for O2?

Posted by jippyuk
Lynx on page 1 said that it was still working for him though, perhaps he can PM the settings to us to try? where did u find your current settings from anyway?


Posted by Sammy_boy
I thnk mine's still free, but I'm on a contract, and using the settings from O2's own website - I've installed them on various phones, and still not charged for using GPRS!

Hopefully this will continue for as long as I have the contract, though I'm soon going to have a problem as I'm moving to an area where O2's signal is fairly poor, and Orange's is excellent!

jippyuk - i got my settings from esato on the free gprs settings thread....

Posted by jippyuk
I just found that thread and setup, looks like it charged me :S


Posted by beeb
I know, it's a pain! I use gprs a lot and was well gutted when it charged me!!

I need to find some more free settings now...wonder if O2 read esato and saw that everyone was using gprs for free! there must be another setting for operatives at O2 to get free gprs??

:-[

Posted by west_coast_g
tried using gprs this morning, doesnt work for me either! If anyone has any other settings then please pm me, thanks.

Ive been searching on google to see if there is a way to get it back on, i read on a forum someone saying to swtich to t-mobile for free gprs but it wasnt clear. Ive got a t-mobile sim, does anybody know if gprs is free on t-mobile uk?

The proxy settings still work for me for some reason, ive got 4p and i still get onto wap without being charged. My homepage is e-messenger and i dont go to o2 active (wap.o2.co.uk) and like when i used to get a lot of messages saying ive run out of credit but the gprs still works, the same is happening now but i get the 50p message.

It cant be because im using gprs and ive used all of my 300 wap minutes.

Maybe its just a glitch or something and it will pobably stop in the next few days?

Posted by tomcoolj
I also got charged for it, they must of changed it on August 1st.

I'm gutted!

Posted by goldenface
Will some kind soul please pm me with O2 free GPRS contract settings. :-) O2 charge a fortune otherwise. :-(

Posted by ten18
not quite sure what o2 are upto here?
some users say they are still getting gprs free? (its probably just the free 1mb or did o2 screw up?)
I just tried 5 different sims and none of them work..!

@lynx
why the edit??

Posted by harvey172
they started charging me 4 internet on tue. altho i think ive gt it free again! TBHcentral posted settings but didnt wrk 4 me or a couple of otha people. i messed bout wit them n it may b free nw!

Posted by west_coast_g
What are your settings now then?

Posted by ten18
ok ive just opened up a new sim pack, popped the simcard in and i seem to be getting it free again... but I dont think it will last...

Posted by Ry_UK
wen u put a sim card in for first time on o2 u always get free wap for a month i think ?? does ne body no any new o2 free settings?

Posted by west_coast_g
On some 02 simcards, the first 30 days you get free allowance(300 text and wap). Ten18 are you getting free text as well?

Posted by ten18
you get 1mb free with a new sim.
but I used that up within an hour! once I hit 1mb the sim would not connect... (knew it wouldnt last)
I hope someone finds new free settings soon..!

The txt dont seem to be free for me. probably because I havent topped it up.

My O2 GPRS is still free guys, maybe its just a temporary thing..... My PAYG gets charged, my monthly phone doesn't..... Interesting. Only wish had installed a better internet browser on the K750...
Cheers people

Posted by beeb
so has anyone got some free settings for gprs then? I haven't been able to use my gprs or wap since aug 1st even though I've tried to install the original settings from o2! They don't list the k750i as one of their supported phones on the 'get settings' page of the 02 website.

Please help!
