Yes, Opera can be used, just Opera needs to have the proxy settings set in the actual browser, not just in control panel. In the opera browser you just need to find "preferece" then tap "-->" a couple of times till you get to "proxy" and enter the same proxy settings as in the first post. (Where is says Proxy Name, enter the IP)

Does the 91500 number still work for Genie sims? i used to use it then moved to a P900 and cant get a connection. I have got the new number from the O2 site but it is 07712927927 and I'm not sure if it is free like the old number....
TIA

If you top up then you get 300 mins of dialup free but the settings shown on the first post in this thread will enable you to get free gprs on your new sim without topping up.make sure gprs is activated on your accout though (can call o2 to do that 4 u, but it should be already activated since its a new sim).Try the GPRS first and if it doesnt work then call o2 to set up your accout.As for dialup,its only free if u top up (i think) u could try without topping up and tell us your findings.hope this helps n hope i answered your question.

Are there any messengers that you can set a proxy setting for? Because I am using this Freed GPRS setting, and want to use msn etc free. Does Agile Messenger 3 allow you to set a proxy? Or does it autodetect? Just wondering, 'cause TipicME seems not to work when I have the free settings on.
Also, is there any way I can update my firmware myself without buying a cable (I have the standard usb cable), because I would like to take video and be able to install agile messenger 3 (needs new firmware)

no instant messengers will work on these free GPRS settings because these settings are wap internet settings and not the full internet settings that are required for such services.Full internet settings are only available for contract subscribers (well on o2,dont know abotu the others) so unfortunately we cant use instant messengers unless somebody knows another way that will make them work under these settings on PAYG

well the only way is to use E-messenger from opera or internal browser and then selecting the light version cos I cant seem to be getting the mobile and wap ones to work (on the internal browser).I get a message saying 'the page contains problems and cannot be displayed' or something of that sort.

But why not? I don't understand why I can access full HTML internet on my p800 for free, but cannot use a messenger. I would have thought that these messengers are simply not able to send or receive on the port 8080 (as in they are set at 9201 or whatever)... I'm going to email TipicME's team and ask whether there is any way to do this, and if so, if they could share it with me and I'll post the settings here when I find out.
Wish me luck...

thats the point exactly the instant messengers have specifically assigned ports which they use for communications but with this GPRS those ports and the pop3/IMAP ports (except for o2) have been disabled.full html is still provided.I dont think emailing TiPicME will be beneficial you would be better off talking to o2 (for 50p per min  ).if tipicme can help then let us all know.

Will do. I'll see what I can do, but I see your point now on the whole ports blocked thing. However, is there any chance we can set a messenger to use port 8080?? If so, that would mean free msn/icq etc right?

yep that would mean free instant messenger which would be fantastic but the problem is getting them to work via 8080.oh well we will have to wait now until anybody has further information or can actually do it.If you know how to make this a possibility then post post post

Good Luck! I used an O2 Online Sim though, so the Genie SIM might not work... p800 is definitely supportive though.
Oh and if anyone can tell me why my p800 is rejecting cookies please do. I am using these settings and can't log in to esato or anything!!!
