Guys, 'user barred sounds like a problem at O2 - like they haven't set u up properly. I had this then o2 sorted it for me.
From reading previous posts it sounds like if u r on pay &go type sims u can have mms free??
I'm on a contract & i costs shed loads. (I pay £3 for 10 mms bundle).

Hi again, if your on contract call your service provider and subscribe to both services to activate.
If your on O2 payandgo call 4445 from your payandgo phone, select option \"0\" then option \"3\" MMS cust. care if your lucky you will speak to someone who will setup MMS and activate it on your sim card, if not demand to speak to someone who knows about MMS.
The secret is NOT to even mention GPRS as this will confuse your O2 Operator on the phone and they WILL say \"you can't have gprs on payandgo\"

Are you an online o2 contract sim user? if you are, email them and they'll do it. if not, find out who the 3rd party is. mine is single point and they're useless. |

I've only just started getting a blue line above my signal today for the first time ever! That must mean I am able to receive GPRS in my area now but just that i haven't had it enabled yet... wahey
Edit : Plus it does say "GPRS : GPRS Unregistered" now in the status menu!

Guys i finally got gprs working therefore i can use mms. For anyone that didn't buy an online o2 sim , you will need to call single point. Don't mention gprs because the people on the phones don't understand it. Ask for mms to be activated and they will activate gprs for you and send you the settings for mms. I spoke to a girl called emily i think it was and she was really sweet. It took about 8 hours for it to start working but now it does. Also on your was profile, make sure the o2 gprs is selected
