Guest squall Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 believe it has been done, think you have to phone o2 and get them to enable gprs. if you get it to work can you let us know how much o2 grps costs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dude55 Posted January 19, 2004 Report Share Posted January 19, 2004 The o2 site mentions that gprs is free until end of January 2004, then it's 2p for 10kbytes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GPRS settings (Access Point Names) can vary depending on what O2 account you have. Try some of the GPRS settings in the repository (page 2) and see if any work for you ? Note: Tick 'Auto detect settings' in IE and then http://(address) will use the Internet connection and wsp://(address) will use the WAP connection.

Guest adriandaz Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 got mine working, after about 2 hours of fiddling around, I'd prefer my traffic to use GPRS but I think it dials up, but I don't know as the G symbol is always on. any ideas? thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest petermerritt Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Hello! Got umm it working, but its dialing up.. so thats not using GPRS right? Anyway I get 5 hours of it free a month on my o2 sim which only costs me 10 pounds a month.. BUT.... How do you get MMS to work? Do you have to have GPRS for this to work? I'm still confused what GPRS is and WAP is... anyone wana explain? thanks loads! Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bulletproofbrook Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 yeah, got my spv to work, been cool for a month or 2. but no gprs. you can get o2 to enable it, but if it is a sim card older than about a year - like mine, you will have to upgrade to a better sim. good luck!!

Guest v1nn1e Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 I have a really old o2 sim. I got it in the Genie days. The two arrows means you are accessing the full internet via GSM dial up using the free 300 minutes that we get. To get gprs and mms working, you have to ring o2 and tell them to activate it on the account, both GPRS and MMS. Then when it's activated, you can tell by a white box with a G inside it in the task bar of the spv. Then you can access WAP pages only via GPRS free of charge. When using a gprs connection, a G symbol appears in the signal strength meter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adriandaz Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 ahh well, rang them, they said it is all on. Must be a setting on the phone, although the G in a white square on the phone desktop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest martin Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi petermerritt Try and get the WAP connection (WAP over GPRS) working first as O2 will have activate this service by default. Try this topic http://www.modaco.com/viewtopic.php?t=1027...hlight=payandgo I used to have the GSM dialup for the Internet connection because it allowed HTML browsing whereas the GPRS WAP access point blocked it (may have changed since). I think only the O2 contract SIM gives a full GPRS internet connection with APN mobile.o2.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adriandaz Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 got GPRS working with normal pages, found it using a guide on here, then rebooting my phone. Adrian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest v1nn1e Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 do you mean normal pages as full html pages? if so then could you tell me if your using pay as you go or not? also how you got HTML pages through gprs working. A man at o2 told me i can't access full web pages through GPRS as i am on pay as you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adriandaz Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 full HTML pages, cause I was checking the IP of my phone on www.whatismyip.com yes I am on PAYG, Online TalkAlot Tariff I used a guide on here, which I am trying to find.

Guest v1nn1e Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I can't access it and i have those settings! can you access modaco? if so then you probably can access full html and i can't because i have an old genie sim. Or the bloke at o2 doesn't know anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adriandaz Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 if you have a genie sim, aren't the settings slightly different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest v1nn1e Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 the gprs settings are the same as GPRS wasn't about when genie was around, i think. So it hasn't got it's own server or whatever. So same settings. I can only access wap pages with gprs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest adriandaz Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 as quoted from the repository: O2 settings for Genie account Create proxy Description : O2 WAP proxy The Internet, WAP Network, 193.113.200.195, WAP Create GPRS connection Description: O2 WAP The Internet, wap.o2.co.uk, geniewap, password Create Dial Up connection Description: O2 CSD The Internet, 44, 7712, 927927, geniewap, password In data connection make Internet connection=O2 CSD (uses HTTP for HTML & WML pages) WAP connection = O2 WAP or O2 CSD (uses WSP for WML pages) In Internet explorer, tick 'Automatically detect settings'.
