Yeah I'm considering leaving O2. The fact that you cannot have GPRS and MMS at the same time is absolute madness.
I thought that MMS messages were sent using GPRS? MMS was supposed to be the driver to get the masses to start using data services. It would also provide more revenue for O2.
O2 have also done a really uninspiring job launching MMS - Vodafone's Live service has been marketed in a much better way. I am thinking of changing. |

Thanks bigjobs. Right, everything seems to be working ok.... more or less. I've tried sending an MMS to my Virgin SIM in my spare 8310 (Sorry, I know its a Finnish phone but I found it in the street.... HONEST!!). It all goes smooth until part way through sending it comes up on screen as "User Barred". Is this because Virgin doesn't support MMS and the 8310 is not an MMS compatible phone?
Thanks in advance

It comes up with user barred because either your settings are wrong or 02 Havent fully activated the Mms part on your account, despite having just activated GPRS for you. Wait a little bit longer max half a day. Plus when you do get it working your 8310 will only receive a text message containing a url to view the Mms via the web.

A lot of people on O2 have been able to get MMS and GPRS simultaneously, including myself. It's just that there's always one unlucky punter that manages to get served by a complete muppet at the O2 helpdesk who seems to it can't be done. |

Its always me that gets the O2 idiot. I have tried them again and still they say its not possible. I have informed them that i know people who have both and still they insist that its not possible. Has anyone got a name for somebody who works for O2 that has more then one brain cell?

Can anyone tell me how to get MMS enabled. I have an O2 leasure time contract with carphone warehouse. I have been trying on and off since december to get it working. If i need to call someone to get it enabled do I call O2 or carphone warehouse. I already have a GPRS service on my contract. Looks like I'm going to miss out on the free time completely

Yes unfortunately you do need to phone up either CPW(CarPhone....) or O2 to get the facility enabled on your account. They don't just automatically turn it on for everyone so it needs to be done manually and individually. If you hurry, you MIGHT be able to get the last 2 days of the free period out. (It finishes Feb 1st, this saturday) |

With regards to the new 02 online pay as you go deal, anybody who has the old deal and wishes to switch over to the new one must phone or email them to request it. It is not done automatically. Whether or not that is a good thing is up to you. :-)
