You can still use gprs on your sim. Jus call 08705 214 000 and ask them to activate it on your sim. Ps. I use a 4 year old cellnet sim and everyfin is fine

@marcos
stuartdb87 is right, you won't get charged if you don't use it PROVIDING that your mobile company don't set you up on a 'fixed package'.
For example, my provider (orange UK) charge me something like £4 per month for a fixed amount of GPRS usage. I have to pay that £4 per month whether I use my GPRS allowance or not. I usually do, so it's OK for me 
Just make sure that you get a 'pay as you go' GPRS package, not a 'fixed monthly fee' one. If you're not on contract, you probably won't encounter this issue anyway.

I just thought, i probably wont use it much at all now that i've ordered my bluetooth pc adapter. But if its a good price i'll still want GPRS anyway. |

it seems to still be free on O2 (aka cellnet), even though they're supposedly charging from today......... NICE *evil cackle*
