I reckon it's just their strategy to get you to call them back again on their 50p a min line! The second bloke did it just like that... So I'm happy now!! For GPRS, go to the o2 website & get it to send you the config file for the GPRS connection, then set it as your default profile. Then call o2 again, ask them to enable it and there you go! I had to wait a min & restart my phone before it worked, but it's sorted now! Wasn't sure if i'd get charged for it so I kept my old profile too, but it ain't costing a thing so I'm laffin!

Do they not charge about £5 per Mb on the lowest O2 tarrifs. I dont know how it works but once you have used 1Mb wont they take the money? Thats what I thought anyway. |

Phil-when I got my MMS activated (mailed o2 online) gprs was automatically activated, as wap is free on my tariff so is gprs. It should be on your sim too. To get the settings text SETTINGS to 2020, or get them sent from the Sony Ericsson wap site.

Thanks all. Just phoned up O2 and the guy i spoke to switched on my mms and gprs. he said that he thought gprs was counted by clicks whereas wap is counted by minutes. so for example, if you get 300 free wap minutes you get 300 or 3000 clicks of gprs (he couldn't remember which one it was).
I went to SE website and the configurator had two options, "02 mms post pay" and "02 mms prepay". i wasn't sure so i chose the prepay one - will this cause me problems if i hve the wrong one?
Also, do i need to download any new settings for mms and how much will mms messages cost me?
and last but not least, (!) why have i been reading so much about people having to pay loads of money for gprs? i am confused!!

Hi again! having some problems with email now. works with GSM but not with GPRS. I have started a new thread here so if any of you are able to use your O2 gprs connection to check your mail (btinternet) then could you reply to the thread.
thanks,
Phil. |

1. I use the same settings you downloaded, although I also have another couple of gprs profiles as you can switch between them if necessary. 2. MMS will be activated now, cost ya 40p. 3. Most people dont realise that there is no gprs charge on O2 Online, one chump even referred to Orange's £4 a mb as a bargain in another thread.
4. I have my phone set up to receive Y! Mail, far better than any mail server BT can come up with.

thanks spike - I'll have to check out this mms stuff.
It is very odd that gprs wont let me get on my mail server - I'll just have to keep trying.
Thanks again,
Phil. |

Hi all,
I've had no trouble with GPRS, and haven't been charged a penny for it, so that's about all I can say on that!! As for e-mail, I use Tanger to check my e-mail via our IMAP server... You can set it up to access any account that you could access with outlook.
