I thnk mine's still free, but I'm on a contract, and using the settings from O2's own website - I've installed them on various phones, and still not charged for using GPRS!
Hopefully this will continue for as long as I have the contract, though I'm soon going to have a problem as I'm moving to an area where O2's signal is fairly poor, and Orange's is excellent!

I know, it's a pain! I use gprs a lot and was well gutted when it charged me!!
I need to find some more free settings now...wonder if O2 read esato and saw that everyone was using gprs for free! there must be another setting for operatives at O2 to get free gprs??

tried using gprs this morning, doesnt work for me either! If anyone has any other settings then please pm me, thanks.
Ive been searching on google to see if there is a way to get it back on, i read on a forum someone saying to swtich to t-mobile for free gprs but it wasnt clear. Ive got a t-mobile sim, does anybody know if gprs is free on t-mobile uk?

The proxy settings still work for me for some reason, ive got 4p and i still get onto wap without being charged. My homepage is e-messenger and i dont go to o2 active (wap.o2.co.uk) and like when i used to get a lot of messages saying ive run out of credit but the gprs still works, the same is happening now but i get the 50p message.
