xda mini s (aka wizard) gprs

[Guest 173723_1437909609]

hi,

I recently bought an xda mini s, ut the phone is locked for payandgo gprs.

I am using an o2 paynadgo sim, with no probs for phone calls and txt, but I cannot connect to the gprs, the phone receives the gprs signal, but it wil not connect for internet usage.

When I hard reset the phone the options are provided to choose prepaid or contract for gprs, BUT prepaid it lock, so therefore I cannot chose this option.

is there a way to unlock this? either by registry editing or a program, or code?

Thanks for your help.

Studz. Altho it may be set up for GPRS as a PAYG handset on O2 it can only access WAP . Ive unlocked my Orange M500 and placed an O2 PAYG sim in it and failed time and time again to connect to GPRS. So after about a tenners worth of bloody credit me and Jon from O2 tech support finaly came up with this option >

In IE type this into the address bar

http://wap.o2.co.uk

It needs to connect through thier wap portal 1st which is a royal pain in the ass :D and cannot access direct internet for example www.google.com.

Hope this helps dude, Personally Ive given up using it but if you can extract the cab file from extended storage to help me from entering all the details manually everytime I hard reset that'd be an absolute bonus mate :)

I've just tried with entering the setting again and I have got it to connect, by clicking connect from the connections menu. but I still can't connect to the net yet

**edit**

in the connection advanced tab, I changed 'programs that autometically connect to the internet should connect using:' from my ISP to my work network

and it is working now, except I get this error:

The page cannot be displayed or downloaded becuase the connection was lost. check the connection and try again.

but the connection isn't lost and I have full signal?
