I got this message today from O2, which probably explains all. I'm an Online Tarrif customer:
Dear O2 Customer,
We emailed you back in June to let you know that the O2 Active™
free trial (allowing you to access the internet from your mobile
for free at all times) was due to end on 30th June 2004.
Due to unexpected technical issues, this didn't happen and -
luckily for you - O2 Active™ has remained free.
Sadly, all good things do come to an end,
and the free trial ended on October 7th 2004.
However, you will continue to benefit from the
allowance of 150 - 200* pages which is included with your tariff**.
Additional access to O2 Active™ will be charged, but you can still
have the latest games, ringtones, news, sport and music at your
fingertips from just 1p per page.
Best wishes,
The O2 Online Team |

Uh oh... Does that mean that o2 is getting with it? Will we suffer from paid gprs? Please god no.....
@ Fiona
I can send you an o2 Online SIM free if you like, just PM me. I'll be happy to, but I'll see what the postage is... It shouldn't be too bad. I also have another one if anyone needs one (please, only people who need it)
I was in Italy recently, (on the weekend) and free GPRS worked fine while roaming, if a bit slower.
@Dekesh
Opera has always worked for me just had to wait a little, and never use an existing conenction, always let Opera do the connecting. Also, make sure you have set the proxy settings in OPERA's options, NOT just the phone's

Edit: Funny... My account balance has gone up to 4.17 or something... VERY weird...

Hehe, no, I meant the whole pack. As in, I would be posting the instruction manual etc too... Actually, I guess I could just scan the manual and send it via email or something, that way postage would be next to nothing... I'll find out what it is anyways....

After a week of fun I just had 'activation rejected'. Opera worked fine, but I couldn't get any messengers to work. |

I was getting alot of "Activation Rejected" today, and was getting worried but, thankfully, the problem has resolved itself.
If you are experiencing the same problem, try again now...

Gentlemens this topic is getting hotter and hotter. 
I'm using free GPRS without disconnecting or reconnecting, it's not a problem for me. It's still free.
I just got a `Activation Rejected` msg in 15 days. I'm reconnecting to GPRS more than 10 times every day.
The worst thing is the proxy thing. I can't use my phones mail program and I can't open the web pages which requires cookie. Same message from all sites "your browser doesn't support cookies" or "cookies in your browser are closed please change the settings".
But after all searching picture or something like that from Google for free is really excellent.

thx nickrooster, that'll be great ive PMed you my home address so u can send it
can i just ask u guys a question about hotpop email, i no this is not to do with this topic but you guys are just sssooo helpfull
i use hotpop as my pop3 email provider, i use to use it by connecting thru "o2 mobile web" but recently when ive tried to connect using that to send and recieve email it would start connecting then get 2 the part where it says " Establishing network connection via o2 Mobileweb" and would get stuck for about 5mins and then would display the message "No route available (IPv6)"
ive had to use wap instead recently and i would prefer to use mobileweb as its faster to connect and download, i would use GPRS but that costs money for me at mo as the free thing dont work 4 me
can anyone help?!

@Tigon
Yep its only WAP over GPRS since o2 PAYG customers are not able to access full GPRS at all. something set by o2, which really sucks
