UK O2 GPRS Pay as You Go Settings?

Hi,

I have tried fiddling around with various different O2 GPRS settings I found on the forums, but I can't seem to any of them to work.

GPRS used to work on my old Nokia fine, and I am using the same SIM card so GPRS should work with my new O2 XDA Mini S phone.

Only problem with the O2 XDA Mini S, is that when you use their GRPS setup program it has Contract selected and Pay as You go is greyed out and you can't select it.

Just wondering if anyone knows the correct settings that works with UK O2 Pay as You Go?

Thanks for any help!

Humm perhaps that's why it doesn't work, if so what settings should I use so I can access WAP?

--EDIT--

Managed to get it working in the end my merging some other settings. Works for standard web browsing and WAP browsing, this is how I have got it setup

GPRS Web and WAP settings

Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Under My Work Network tap Manage Existing Connections and then Tap Edit (if this isn't present then tap 'Add a new modem connection')

Cellular Line (GPRS)

Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: payandgo

Password: password

Domain: leave blank

Tap Advanced

On the TCP/IP tab, "Use server-assigned IP address" should be selected

Tap the Servers tab "Use specific server address" should be selected with

DNS: 193.113.200.200 Alt DNS: 193.113.200.201

Tap OK Tap Finish

Tap Proxy Settings -> Tap Advanced

HTTP field enter: 193.113.200.195 port: 8080

WAP field enter 193.113.200.195 port: 9201

Tap OK and exit

Start > Settings > Connections > Advanced > Select Networks Use My Work Network for both options
