Ok since 3 has locked me down for 12months I decided to buy a P910 so as to use the gprs for email and msn. So my question is which is the best sim card around that is going to work out cheap since I wont be making any calls.
Thanks for all your input. |

O2 of course. GPRS is free! You don't even need to activate the SIM, just use Proxy Add: 193.113.200.195 & Port 8080

There's a thread in the P-Series section called 'O2 free GPRS works for me' which has the full settings listed in the 1st post

Ok so Tesco has just gone in the lead... but if I need to use IM can I just pay the data charges or does O2 stop it completley? |
