FREE GPRS - Networking

Hi,
Have anyone experience free GPRS?

I DO
Yes I have and still on it 8)
Its free somehow? :?:
Anyone else have got it too?

What do you mean, all GPRS is free, isn't it? :shock:

GPRS Data Plan
No, GPRS isn't free. You need to go into a data plan
depending on the network that operates it. Nothing
is free in this world especially with telecomunication.
Some might have Free GPRS maybe on a trial run etc.

on my nokia i have a BT genie simcards this gives me unlimited wap and gprs for free also 300txts per month its not the newer 02 online sim they only allow 300min of wap/gprs....
anyway i used to use gprs on wa all the time on my 3510i then i got my xda...
using the GPRS connection for the net dont work for me but yet works with the wap explorer but if i use my wap dialup conection i get free internet useasge but i think its only like 20kb/s which is quite cool really shame it dont work on gprs though

John - just goes to show how little you know about what you're posting on then, doesn't it?

Quest
Hi Anon,
Are you trying to tell me you can get free GPRS
on your O2xda? I would love to know how you do it
then......that is if you care to share here.

WAP over GPRS on O2 incurs no charge, you need to speak to your network as this is not something that is true across all networks.

Quest
Dont worry, I already found a way to use GPRS on my
O2Xda surfing the internet for FREE.

Would you care to illuminate the rest of us Quest? We like free!

Free Mobile Web
Does Anyone know how i can get Free Mobile Web over GPRS. If anyone does then PLEASE let me know.

Did you know the word "gullible" does not appear in any dictionary?

Free GPRS (maybe...)
I sometimes hear that if you configure the WAP/MMS access point name instead of the internet one, you may get fee connectivity since WAP is usually billed on the service level, and MMS is billed per transaction. If you don't get IP, you may be able to get free mobile-to-mobile traffic, or maybe even find a proxy which will allow browsing.
I'm just relaying what I heard here. I have not tested anything, I do not recommend doing this, and I definitely recommend not assuming something is free until you get the bill. Your mileage may vary beyond all comprehension.

I found some web pages talked about o2 offering free WAP and txt messages... also mention of o2 as genie etc. This may all be old news?
O2 Wap / Mobile Internet settings:
Homepage: http://wap.O2.co.uk/
Dialup access number: 915000
Gateway (IP) address: 193.113.200.195
Username: O2wap
Password: password
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Port number: 9201

Hi.
I have the old genie free wap access too. Until about a month ago, O2 allowed access through port 80 (WEB http) and 6201 (Wap wsp) but they have just blocked port 80 so I can now only get the crappy o2 active site and for anyhing else i need to go through the 'find' option at the bottom of the o2 Active site. Problem is I can't get half the bloomin' wap sites I used to get and I resent having to use the active home page to view anything, I don't like moaning because I only pay £10 a month and get free wap dialup over gsm (no gprs) but i think it's a bit below the belt to just block me. anyone else having this problem?
Is there anyway to tunel through 6201 or can I use a different proxy for http traffic (o2 give 193.113.200.195, which has stopped working) cos I'd like to be able to get my active sync working mobile again.
HELP ME!!!!!!

my gprs is almost free... $4.99USD/month
only ports 80/110/25/995/443 and some other port are open though... enough for me.

Re: Freebies
Hi, This is my first posting on this forum, so I hope I understand the question properly. I'm using a very old Genie (O2) SIM card. This gives no GPRS, but practically unlimited GSM (cellular line) dialup WAP access via shortcode 915000 or 07712927927.
Username o2wap
Password password
My GSM WAP proxy settigs are:
HTTP 193.113.200.195 Port 8080
WAP 193.113.200.195 Port 9201
SECURE WAP 193.113.200.200 Port 9203
SOCKS 193.113.200.195 Port 1080
I'm using an i-Mate PDA 2K (Blue Angel)
I can surf WAP and web pages, including some secure servers, e.g. Amazon, but since some time last month, it hasn't let me log in to this forum or my internet banking account.
I find sometimes my links to WAP pages in Favourites stop working; they work again after I delete and re-create them. I find links to WAP pages only work if they begin wsp://
and I suspect mine got changed to http:// during synchronisation with ActiveSync.
Hope this helps
John

With the current weakness of the dollar, $4.95 will get you about 1.2MB of GPRS use in rip-off britain with rip-off O2 currently!

Free T-Mobile Web over WAP connection...how to get everythin

So I've been using my T-mobile with the free WAP connection web browsing. This does allow FULL web browsing across port 80. If this is the case, is there any way to set up a proxy server that runs on port 80 that could forward all SSL/other data thus allowing us to access all web content for free? Someone let me know!! Thanks a lot.
Matt
I am also using TMO for my internet, forgot to pay the cable bill, and noticed I can't access HTTPS web sites and am also looking into this and how to fix it.

:? Now how does this work or get setup? been looking around these fourms all day and night. :?
:? downloaded a freebe WAP browswer - can't seem to connect. RAS error :?
:? changed network settings to everything i saw on these forums - still nothing :?
I found that using a proxy server on port 80 allows me to connect to web sites using HTTPS, just do a search for free proxy servers and its kind hit and miss but after about 4 servers I found one that works, granted a little slow but I have access that I didn't before.
What about other services (ports) besides https, such as IM, FTP, etc.? Have we figured out a way to map these services through a proxy on port 80? Do we need to find a free proxy server that supports SOCKS? Could we just set one up on our personal computers to do this?
I have an unlocked Samsung p735. T-mobile has blocked port 80 and Java and I cannot get rid of their cert. nonsence. Of course they claim they are not blocking anything so my relationship with tech support end in less than friendly terms Can anyone help me to open port 80 and get all of T-mobile certs off my phone?
Thank you,
Teri :roll: :?:

WAP and T-Mobile

Hi
ON my nokia I had wap access to check headlines and football scores. How do I enable the same facility on an XDA ?
You need to run a seperate WAP browser, like EZ WAP. Search the boards here for EZ WAP and you'll find links to places to get it. Once you have it, there's a great WAP config description for T-Mo at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3675
Hope this helps
I've tried following the steps given in several different threads for configuring this on my XDA but have been unsuccessful. I've been trying to use EZWap to configure it, but it cannot connect. I think its something to do with my network connections on my phone that just arent right. Can anyone walk me through setting up the actual network connection settings for WM2003? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
i installed the mms from the O2 uk rom... (from zip posted here somewhere)...
i get mm2 notifications, but i cant download them...
any ideas?
WAP using IE in WM2003
Supposedly IE in WM2003 has support for WAP browsing. However, when I set up a "TZONES" connection and set up the AP to ( wap.voicestream.com ) and the proxy to ( 216.155.165.50:9201 ), and I try to navigate to:
wap.myvoicestream.com
It no longer works. However, if I navigate to any "regular" www page, it comes up just fine. Has anyone else successfully been able to configure their WM2003 ( TMobile PPCPE ) to access their TZones via IE using the WAP connection/Proxy settings ?
I was thinking of installing EzWap 2.5 again, but during the install it said it was going to replace wapdrv.dll and I wasn't going to run the risk of overwriting a necessary file, so I exited the installation of ExWAP.
Anyone gotten this to work ???
[/b]
Eureka !!! You don't need EzWap or Klondike !!!
<Edited - It was LarryH from Horward Forums who originally helped me out with this...it was his idea to try out a different URL monicker. Thanks again Larry ! >
With LarryH's help, we've discovered that it IS possible to access T-Mobile's TZones pages once you've undergone the upgrade to WM2003 from T-Mobile's SITE.
After you set up your connection to use the WAP accesspoint:
wap.voicestream.com
Under Proxy Settings:
WAP: 216.155.165.50 port: 9201
SWAP: 216.155.165.50 port: 9203
You don't have to set the HTTP or SOCKS,
as TMobile doesn't support SOCKS, and the HTTP port ( 80 ) is already open on their gateway server.
To access your TZones homepage, just open IE, and enter:
wsp://wap.myvoicestream.com
apparently entering:
http://wap.myvoicestream.com
will confuse IE in WM2003 for PPC, and
it will say "Unable to find page".
Everyone, enjoy your TZones under WM2003.
Marcelo
but my MSN Messenger don't work
my MSN Messenger still don't work. I have set access point to wap.voicestream.com
do i need to set up something else? or purchase other data plans from tmobile?
Re: but my MSN Messenger don't work
yfei said:

I just tried that on my PPC PE and I was able to sign on to MSN Messenger. Are you sure you have the Connection you set up to access the proper proxy address and ports. Make sure you setup the user/password for your msn account properly, because if you type it in wrong, it won't let you log in.
Let me know if you run into any problems.

XDA IIs POP3 over GPRS ?

Im sure this is a fairly basic question for you guys buy here Go’s!
I have recently become the proud owner of an XDA IIs , Question is I have set up my GPRS settings as per instructions from O2, So web browsing, text and MMS all seems to be fine, However is it also possible to access my POP3 account via GPRS / LAN ??
Account in question is an easilymail account server address “customermail.easily.co.uk “ seems to work if I swap back to dial up and access via wanadoo / yahoo dial up
(O2 access is PAYG online 300)
Any thoughts / help much appreciated
You can't access a pop account via GPRS, you have to access it through O2's Mobile web service. You should have the settings in your IIs
it depend on the network you use i can recieve my mails from my normal internet pop3 mail box but i cant send them over SMTP
which i asume is because my cellphone network block the ports of SMTP but not pop3
O2 UK have 2 different types of GPRS access WAP & Mobile WEB.
Normally you would use the O2 Mobile Web GPRS settings to get full internet access. Unfortunatly this is not available to O2 PAYG customers only contract/post pay customers. As a PAYG customer you can only use the WAP GPRS.
Its something i have had a row with them recently. I always knew it was not available but on the online info for the PAYG it clearly stated that the free 1MB GPRS was for WAP & WEB access. But after complaining and even telling them if it is true then they are false advertising and i would be complaining to trading standards they confirmed its not available.
They have even now restricted Dialup GSM WAP access to WAP only. That used to provide full internet access although at the slower speed of 9600. My contract sim gives me 500 free GSM WAP minutes and the online PAYG cards my wife and daughter use give 300 GSM WAP Minutes with the £10 topup. So i made quite a lot of use of it originally.
If you don't mind the extra hassle there are some wap email sites that will grab and display your pop email for you.
wsp://mail2web.com/pda/
That is actually PDA formatted instead of wap formatted. You can also access it from PC but just change the wsp:// to http://
Hope this helps
[/url]
Probably teaching granny to suck eggs here but just in case you don't know, the SMTP server for O2 uk is smtp.o2.co.uk
using this with your incoming email server should allow you to send as well as receive when using UK O2 mobile web tariff. This obviously won't work via WiFi but U should still be able to receive.

02 PAYG internet access billing

Does anyone know how 02 would bill you for GPRS if you use a PAYG sim and use GPRS?
Im thinking of stopping my O2 contract and converting to PAYG and using the settings shown elsewhere to connect to GPRS.
Is anyone else doing this?
Thanks
Gordon
GPRS on PAYGO
Been there done that.
if you use a PAYGO sim in your xda you will not get full internet access.
I thought you could use a different proxy port ?
What about the article in Tekguru?
http://www.tekguru.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=27155#27155
Apparently it is possible.
Gordon
I have full internet access, found the details on this very forum. Unfortunately, only works for web pages, not messenger etc.
Conect through the proxy: 193.113.200.195 on port 8080 and it works a treat.
Thanks
Do you get billed for it?
If so does it just disapear off of your balance?
Gordon
Having the same probs as Kevin been told several times now can not get internet on xda with pasyg just o2 active. even followed several pasyg settings and still no joy ??
I don't know how I get billed for it, but I'm sure I do. Just looking at web pages doesn't cost too much I'd expect though.
Here's what I've done.
To connect:
~~~~~~~~
1. Set up a new work connection:
Name: Whatever you want, I normally use "O2 GPRS"
Address: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
Password: password
2. Go back to the connections menu, tap "set up proxy server"
Click the two checkboxes, enter the proxy server address:
193.113.195.200
Then tap on advanced. On the top row you'll se something like:
HTTP 193.113.195.200 80
Change the last column so the row looks like:
HTTP 193.113.195.200 8080
3. Go and impress your mates in the pub by showing them mobile porn.
Do you have any idea what this surfing costs ?
I know that simple WAP pages cost about 1 pence per page.
Thanks
Does anybody know the cost of pay as you go browsing ?
i use an o2 genie sim card (payg) and get 1MB of browsing free everytime i top up with £10, as for cost per MB am not certain but it may be as much as £1.35 per MB?
anyone know for sure?
R
i,m using 1 of those 300 free txt sim's and have yet to be charged for any gprs activity. use somewhere around 3-5mb p/month for the last 8-10 months.

GPRS PROBLEM HELP - CHINA MOBILE - QTEK 9100

but in fact the GPRS is connected (I can see the icon in the top)
I used the same SIM card on my OLd NOKIA and it works
I really dunno anymore how to solve it
Maybe some mistakes in the configuration....where I should add the port?

Your setting is for WAP and MMS, not GPRS.
Go to 'Setting', 'Connection', 'Connections', Add a new modem connection, Select a modem 'Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G), APN: cmnet, then leave all other fills blank.
access point: cmnet
home page:none
now it says cannot connect to CMNET
by the wat thanx for ur help
Some mistakes in the previous messages.
As a reminder, you can do WAP over GSM or over GPRS as well.
And you can do web surfing or other applications like Skype for instance or other protocols like FTP over GSM or GPRS as well also.
So, to sum-up CMWAP and CMNET are two different APN in order to acces to CMCC GPRS.
CMWAP is used for WAP browsing, but it works also for web! I use it on my Alpine since many months. It seems that you're charged per minute.
CMNET is used for Skype, FTP and other stuff like that. Charged by volume.
I don't know the cost even if I use it now since more than one year :lol:
Parameters:
APN: cmwap
In "Proxy Settings", check "This network connects to the Internet"and also "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet". Then fill the field name "Proxy server" with: 10.0.0.172
Then click on "Advanced..." button
In front of HTTP, the port should be 80
In front of WAP, the port should be 9201
In front of Secured WAP, the port should be 9203
In front of Socks, the port should be 1080
APN: cmnet
Click on "Advanced..." button and go to "Servers", then select "Use specific server address" and fill it as following:
DNS: 211.136.20.203
Alt DNS: 211.136.20.203
and don't care about the homepage, you can put what you want and not only Wap.monternet.com
MMS Settings:
Gateway: 10.0.0.172
Port number: 9201
Server address: http://mmsc.monternet.com
I can warrant you that all is working perfectly with these settings all over China since my arrival here (November 2004).
By the way, if you have any information about the billing on each APN, I'm interested in!
Hope it helps!
CMWAP is 20RMB for Month!!!!!!
but by using it I can't connect to MSN...can you?
CMNET...I will try now and I will let you knoe the costs

no way to connect to CM NET....I will call the Customer support and I will let you know
Really strange that you cannot connect to CMNET with these parameters...
And I'm not sure that CMCC Customer Support can do something for you as your terminal will be "Unknown" in their list... after they're definitely lost :?
Where are you living? At Shanghai the both APN works perfectly, and on all the other provinces I've visited CMWAP is working well (I never used CMNET outside Shanghai).
As I said on the previous post, it's normal that you can't use such kind of application like MSN with CMWAP APN!
About the cost of 20RMB for connecting CMWAP you surprise me coz I only have a prepaid GSM subscription... So it should mean that if I connect one time in a month I will be charge 20RMB and if I connect during many days I will be charge the same price...
I will try to have a look to CMCC wesite with my chinese teacher next time :wink:
Sure, in many Chinese cities, the CMCC began their service of 20 RMB per month for CNWAP since 2005.
but for me, I use CMNET and CMWAP both, GPRS is specially for my MSN and mail-box. but be careful, the price of GPRS is 0.03 RMB per KB!
but in Shanghai, I don't think the CMCC will give you the price of 20 RMB per month, for as everybody knows, Shanghai is an expensive city, and your Shanghaier are richamen...
Damn the CMCC!
You can surely get the CMWAP package for 20RMB in Shanghai. And CMNET got package as well, which is pretty exp..... :evil:
OK, you can get these kind of package for CMWAP as well as for CMWEB APN.
But it's not mandatory.
Since one year, I'm only using prepaid for these 2 APN.
I'm going to check if these packages are more interesting, but I doubt...
That really depends on ur usage. You can turn on the service of gprs with choice to be charged by kb or package, no matter prepaid or contract as long as u pay the money.
I did hear that someone surfs the internet by using proxy in wap, but i havent comfirmed that by myself. If it works, that really saves a lot. :lol:

Please see my first post on this thread. It's really easy to surf on the web using CMWAP APN. You just have to configure the Proxy server as I said.
Good luck :roll:
You might want to check the connection rules:
start->settings->connections->connections ?
in the settings/GPRS Setting, try to chek if the CHAP authentication is checked.
