Ah to get pay as you go to work I had to adjust the settings above to:

apn: payandgo.o2.co.uk

username: payandgo

Is anyone getting 3G / HSDPA when using o2 PAYG?

TIA

Just wanted to chime in:

These settings work great for getting o2 3G working :)

I used an iPhone simplicity sim, but the phone is for my girlfriend - incase anyone is wondering, pure payg sims are the payg settings, but the newer '30 day rolling contract' sims are the contract settings, Thanks again to this forum!

Can't get 2G or 3G. Says 'Connection Failed' under Data Connection

Nevermind...sorted ;)

I only had to do the following when switching to O2:

text ACTIVE to 2020.

A few minutes later the settings were sent through.

Just get GiffGaff, uses O2 and unlimited free Internet at the moment

Fantastic!!

Called O2 on customer service and they immedietly said they couldn't help, and basically that I'm screwed.

Thanks to this, my internet finally works. Great work.

Hi Guys

I've got and o2 12 month simplicity contract and am using SS RLS5.

I followed Davies advice, and now I get some kind of service but I just get a 'G'. Before when I put in an Orange sim, it explicitly said 3G. So I'm thinking 'G' must be 2G or some sort of lesser service.

I have found that if I also choose "O2 UK Postpay MMS" from the list of APN names I also get 'G' service.

I tried texting 'ACTIVE' to 2020 but I get a message back saying "Unfortunately we had problems dealing with your request for settings. Please contact customer service". They aren't much help.

So am I right in thinking 'G' isn't full service and if not, how do I get it?

Cheers guys,

El

Thanks for these instructions. I unlocked and flashed my San Fran yesterday with Android 2.2. I put my o2 sim in this morning and sent the ACTIVE text to 2020. Got a text back saying "...problems dealing with your request..." So I came on here. "Tap Mobile Networks" is as far as I get. The APN option doesn't appear in my options. I have Data Enabled, Data Roaming, Network Mode, GSM/UMTS Options, Enable always-on mobile data.

Any advice?

thanks in advance.
