I was using about 25Mb a month on my O2 contract and didnt get charged a penny for it. I dont know why.
Checkout my photos at My Website"Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it holds the world together." |

- i an with you. I get totally free wap on an o2 contract too. I dont think they have found a way to bill contract customers using wap 2.0. Hope it lasts a bit longer because i dont want to end up with a big bill.

hmm might have to get me one of these tesco sims.
can you get them from tesco's?
and does their gprs let you log into website such as esato, etc..?
im using o2 p&g gprs at the moment and can never stay logged due to o2 being such a gay network

Works fine for me,Esato,Zedge,Google,The lot.
I have had the service for about 8 -9 months now and have had very cheap calls and free GPRS,all for a SIM card costing £4.97 inc postage from tescomobile.com.
The GPRS is a least until August,Calls and texts to 3 favourites are 10p / min and 5p so at the moment there is not alot better (PAYG) out there. |

Yes definetley all the web-sites and WAP sites you could wish for.
The homepage is set at O2 Active but that is easily bypassed with the bookmarks.
I am not too sure about POP3 e-mail though,I have tried setting up Supanet POP3 but no joy.
Can you tell me what the settings for Hotmail are and i will try that,
Do you go to Hotmail.com or is it POP3. |

dont think you can access hotmail on pop3?
when i was on orange I used opera on my P900 and also used my P900 as a modem with my laptop so i used www.hotmail.com, but it doesnt let me sign in with o2 gprs.. 
hope tesco gprs is different
