Looking for O2 Pay as you go GPRS and MMS settings? This thread is for you!

[Guest vortexela]

Hi all,

I was having alot of trouble getting my Vox to work with the O2 pay as you go GPRS and MMS settings found around the internet. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a post made by an individual known as gigglebit on the expansys HTC S710 forum. I've tried the GPRS settings and they work great...I'm yet to see if the MMS settings work since I don't really use MMS (who really does??? :rolleyes: ).

Here's a link to the posts.

I have pasted the settings below:

Got my HTC S710 [EU version admittedly, but I couldnt wait for a three pin charger to be put in the box !]. Popped in the sim card and Searched the web for ''02 GPRS settings'' and got a load of info for IP and logins but it still wouldnt connect. After a call to the O2 techs, I had no joy on getting the web hooked up, so I took all the settings they had provided me with and messed around for a bit until I got lucky.

O2 said that basically, the problem is that O2 PayandGo GPRS / WAP wont handle HTTP:// requests from a PPC / Smartphone, it needs to be a WSP:// instead. [ This seems to cripple Windows Live btw ]

Anyway, the bit you really want...

Press ''Start'' > ''Settings'' > ''Connections'' > ''GPRS'' > and select ''NEW...''

Call it ''O2 GPRS'' [or similar]

Connects to : The Internet

Access point : payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username : payandgo

Password : password

Auth type : none

Primary DNS : leave blank [or 0.0.0.0]

Secondary DNS : leave blank [or 0.0.0.0]

IP Address : 193.113.200.195

> Press ''Done'' and then ''Done'' again to get back to the connections menu.

> Select ''PROXY'' and select ''NEW...''

call it ''O2 wap proxy'' [or similar]

Connects FROM : The Internet

Connects TO : WAP Network

Proxy : 193.113.200.195:9201

Type : WAP

Username : [leave blank]

Password : [leave blank]

> Press ''Done'' and then select "NEW..." again

call it ''O2 http proxy'' [or similar]

Connects FROM : The Internet

Connects TO : WAP Network

Proxy : 193.113.200.195:8080

Type : HTTP

Username : [leave blank]

Password : [leave blank]

> Press ''Done'' and then select "NEW..." again

call it ''O2 socks5 proxy'' [or similar]

Connects FROM : The Internet

Connects TO : WAP Network

Proxy : 193.113.200.195:1080

Type : Socks5

Username : [leave blank]

Password : [leave blank]

> Press ''Done'' and then ''Done'' again to get back to the connections menu.

> Press ''Menu'' and select ''Advanced''

All connections should default to ''Automatic''. Leave them like this, but test you can see ''O2 gprs'' on both the internet and WAP selectors.

Press the ''Home'' key to get out of there and then open INTERNET EXPLORER

> Press ''MENU'' > ''TOOLS'' > ''OPTIONS'' > ''CONNECTIONS''

UNTICK the ''Automatically detect settings'' option

Change the ''Select Network'' to ''WAP Network''

> Press ''Done'' and ''Done'' again.

THATS IT !! - its not pretty but it works.

[ Note : when you use WiFi you need to switch the explorer network back to ''The Internet'' - a small price to pay for 54mbs ! ]

MMS Settings that I have got to work :

> Press "Start" > "Messaging" and then highlight but dont select "MMS"

> Press "Menu" > "Settings" > "Menu" > "MMSC Settings" > "Menu" and select "New..."

Call it "02 mms" [or similar]

MMSC URL : http://mmsc.mms.02.co.uk:8002

WAP gateway : 193.113.200.195

Port : 9201

Connect Via : WAP Network

Max Sending Size : 300K

WAP Version : 1.2

> Press "Done" and then highlight but dont select "o2 mms"

> Press "Menu" and select "Set as default" [ the red tick should move to show the new default ]

> Press "Done" and "Done" again

You are now ready to send.

Let me know if they work for you. :P

Michael.

Hi, thanks for these settings.......worked a treat for me!!

Im only having 1 small issue (not really to do with any of your settings but you may have come across it!), every time I get a new mms the pictures come in as a tiny thumbnail with a max size of 5kb, i'm able to send pictures out at the original resolution but i cannot see anything that controls the size of incoming picture???

Can you help or point me into the right direction at all (newbie you see!!)

Cheers.
