Confused about GPRS Charges/Setting


Recommended Posts

I am really confused about GPRS. Firstly, I have an o2 pay and go sim and can only access anything over a dial-up connection. I've tried all the setting in the repository for GPRS and non of the seem to work. I presume that I have GPRS activated because I have a "G" at the top of the screen. ( Something I don't get when I try a different simcard ).

Also

How do they charge for it. I know GPRS is charged for by the MB, but when I Top up with say £20 will o2 reduce my credit when I accumulate 1MB or do I have to pay for something different all together.

Hi

Don't what settings you used but try the following and see if it helps.

Create proxy

Description : O2 WAP proxy

The Internet, WAP Network, 193.113.200.195, WAP

Create GPRS connection

Description: O2 WAP

The Internet, payandgo.o2.co.uk, payandgo, password

Create Dial Up connection

Description: O2 CSD

The Internet, 44, 7712, 927927, o2wap, password

In data connection make

Internet connection=O2 CSD

WAP connection = O2 WAP or O2 CSD

In Internet explorer, tick 'Automatically detect settings'.

Try to access the O2 homepage: wsp://wap.o2.co.uk

If GPRS fails to connect then try the following APN/user/pass instead.

wap.o2.co.uk, geniewap, password

wap.o2.co.uk, o2wap, password

Someone had recently mentioned that they were now able to use their O2 pre-paid APN to access non WML pages so thats something else thats worth trying.

How do they charge for it. I know GPRS is charged for by the MB, but when I Top up with say £20 will o2 reduce my credit when I accumulate 1MB or do I have to pay for something different all together.
I assume that a charge for total Kb's transferred is done for each GPRS session but I'm not too sure TBH.
