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?

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!

geting wap on the xda 2s
hi im new to this, i have a XDA 2s using o2 payasyougo. i get 300 free wap time and 2mb GPRS. i have no problem connecting to WAP and GPRS but i cant seem to view any web pages or WAP pages. nothing loads up or it just says error conecting to server. i installed a WAP browser Klondike but even that doesnt load anything up not even 02Active. But i can view web and WAP pages through "MobileWeb" connection settings, but that CHARGES ALOT PLEASE HELP...
Please can somebody help me with the wap setting for O2 prepay using shortcode 91500, I have tried lots of different settings and have been connected then dumped, also sometimes I am charged instead of it using my 300 free bundle minutes. What I really need are settings and also where to find the place to enter them, in other words, a line by line foolproof, step by step instruction. Can anybody help please. It also says in my O2 booklet that included in my monthly bundle for a minimum £10 topup is 300 wap minutes AND 300 wap gprs pages, any idea how I get to those. Sorry about all the questions but it really should not be this difficult, I wonder if the frustration explains all the broken screens, maybe from being thrown at the wall. :?
I am using o2 XDA
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

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.
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?

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.
Which networks have their GPRS unrestricted? I'm currently on o2 and want to get my e-mail (Home e-mail server) on the move but o2 only allow you to access your o2 email address items. I moved from Virgin due to my parents complaining they could never get hold of me. I'm thinking of Orange because they have a similar choice to o2 of free texts when you top up, but am wondering is their GPRS unrestricted? Could I access my email on it?
Thanks,
Karl
You will need to use the Orange server for your outgoing email but you can download from any mail server - I know because that's what I do.
Thanks for your input TB. Am I right in thinking Orange's GPRS charge is £3/MB? I believe o2 is £2.35, but they do not allow access to other email servers except their own? Or am I wrong there and have been mislead by the internet?
I did have a tarriff of £1 per MB but I have switched to unlimited evening/weekend data for £5 per month.
The mail server thing at O2 seems to be a real pain. It's reasonable for them to expect you to use their outgoing server but on an unfettered internet connection, just about ANY incoming mail server should be fine, as is the case with Orange.
