Just recently had a my repaired w900i come back to me, in fact, got a new one.

Last month I tried to get wap configurations sent via the SE website(put them in manually before), but 3's settings weren't there.

So last night I had another look and they were there!

Home page was set to SE's wap site. So I thought i'd have a wee look on google, and lo and behold, I could look at ANY website! Even my own!

Before(2 weeks ago)I signed up to their browsing option, but it was limited, as usual.

Anyone else on 3 experienced this?

I'm gonna be with them forever now, cheapest bills ever, and I've tried them all!

Do you know if this is normally the case? And would be for Australia?

I was under the impression that the access plans were for unlimited internet anyway, and not just 3's content areas.

The last I heard was that 3 were allowing limited internet access to various pre-approved websites outside of their own content.

If they haven't already, I imagine that at some point 3 will allow full internet/WAP access from their handsets.

I hear what you all are saying, there are limited access to their sites. Only last month I was unable to go on esato wap, but now i am. Something happened to the handset when it came back to me, and I'm not complaining.

Could you possibly post your connection settings?
Mine definitly wont let me browse outside their wall,
maybe you have some different setting/proxy which still works?
