It gets more confusing, I've read on another forum that other people received the text about o2 charging for o2 active, but some reckon its only for using o2 active pages and not other wapsites?!

You're definitely not alone in this problem. It seems to be for all sites that I tried visiting, oddly enough my work colleagues sim works fine for it. The settings are the same on both phones.
I started getting the texts from o2 every time I tried connecting today since about 8am. When I tried last night at about 1am it worked fine, though..
Email worked fine until Saturday morning.
Oddly enough, on Friday morning my credit was the same as ever - £11 - and then when I checked on saturday it was 46p after only 700k max of data transfer. Funny. I don't mind paying o2 for the gprs, but that was a bit of a shock and a bit excessive. Fair enough if they want their money for all the other gprs usage I've had while it's been free (maybe 2-3MB as I've had the sim a short time), but it all seems a bit strange.
I've been using an o2 genie sim for over 3 years now (I think) and spent a lot on that (it's especially fun when for some reason on weekends the free text allowance would disappear and resume from the monday). I only bought a new o2 sim because the genie one doesn't support gprs. |

My wife has been getting those too, oddly though, I tried her sim in my 9500 her credit went from 56p to 8p but didn't drop anymore even though I was still browsing. When I disconnected it went to 9p!
