FREE GPRS

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Have anyone experience free GPRS?

:o

[Anonymous]

Yes I have and still on it :D 8)
Its free somehow? :?:
Anyone else have got it too?

[Anonymous]

What do you mean, all GPRS is free, isn't it? :shock: :)

[Anonymous]

No, GPRS isn't free. You need to go into a data plan
depending on the network that operates it. Nothing
is free in this world especially with telecomunication.
Some might have Free GPRS maybe on a trial run etc.

John - just goes to show how little you know about what you're posting on then, doesn't it? :oops:

Hi Anon,

Are you trying to tell me you can get free GPRS
on your O2xda? I would love to know how you do it
then......that is if you care to share here.

[Anonymous]

WAP over GPRS on O2 incurs no charge, you need to speak to your network as this is not something that is true across all networks.

[Anonymous]

Dont worry, I already found a way to use GPRS on my
O2Xda surfing the internet for FREE. :D

Would you care to illuminate the rest of us Quest? We like free!

Did you know the word "gullible" does not appear in any dictionary?

I sometimes hear that if you configure the WAP/MMS access point name instead of the internet one, you may get fee connectivity since WAP is usually billed on the service level, and MMS is billed per transaction. If you don't get IP, you may be able to get free mobile-to-mobile traffic, or maybe even find a proxy which will allow browsing.

I'm just relaying what I heard here. I have not tested anything, I do not recommend doing this, and I definitely recommend not assuming something is free until you get the bill. Your mileage may vary beyond all comprehension.

I found some web pages talked about o2 offering free WAP and txt messages... also mention of o2 as genie etc. This may all be old news?

O2 Wap / Mobile Internet settings:
Homepage: http://wap.O2.co.uk/
Dialup access number: 915000
Gateway (IP) address: 193.113.200.195
Username: O2wap
Password: password
Session type: Continuous / permanent
Port number: 9201

Hi.
I have the old genie free wap access too. Until about a month ago, O2 allowed access through port 80 (WEB http) and 6201 (Wap wsp) but they have just blocked port 80 so I can now only get the crappy o2 active site and for anyhing else i need to go through the 'find' option at the bottom of the o2 Active site. Problem is I can't get half the bloomin' wap sites I used to get and I resent having to use the active home page to view anything, I don't like moaning because I only pay £10 a month and get free wap dialup over gsm (no gprs) but i think it's a bit below the belt to just block me. anyone else having this problem?
Is there anyway to tunel through 6201 or can I use a different proxy for http traffic (o2 give 193.113.200.195, which has stopped working) cos I'd like to be able to get my active sync working mobile again.
HELP ME!!!!!!

my gprs is almost free... $4.99USD/month
only ports 80/110/25/995/443 and some other port are open though... enough for me.

Hi, This is my first posting on this forum, so I hope I understand the question properly. I'm using a very old Genie (O2) SIM card. This gives no GPRS, but practically unlimited GSM (cellular line) dialup WAP access via shortcode 915000 or 07712927927.

Username o2wap
Password password

My GSM WAP proxy settigs are:

HTTP 193.113.200.195 Port 8080
WAP 193.113.200.195 Port 9201
SECURE WAP 193.113.200.200 Port 9203
SOCKS 193.113.200.195 Port 1080

I'm using an i-Mate PDA 2K (Blue Angel)

I can surf WAP and web pages, including some secure servers, e.g. Amazon, but since some time last month, it hasn't let me log in to this forum or my internet banking account.

I find sometimes my links to WAP pages in Favourites stop working; they work again after I delete and re-create them. I find links to WAP pages only work if they begin wsp://
and I suspect mine got changed to http:// during synchronisation with ActiveSync.

Hope this helps

John :-)

With the current weakness of the dollar, $4.95 will get you about 1.2MB of GPRS use in rip-off britain with rip-off O2 currently!

hi im new to this, i have a XDA 2s using o2 payasyougo. i get 300 free wap time and 2mb GPRS. i have no problem connecting to WAP and GPRS but i cant seem to view any web pages or WAP pages. nothing loads up or it just says error conecting to server. i installed a WAP browser Klondike but even that doesnt load anything up not even 02Active. But i can view web and WAP pages through "MobileWeb" connection settings, but that CHARGES ALOT PLEASE HELP...

[cbrow51]

I had a lot of issues trying to use o2 Pay and Go for data. After many calls to O2 I came to understand that there are some pretty big o2 network limitations on using the device on a pay and go SIM. I did get a Ghost sim card holder so that I could use my TMo us SIM for data while in the UK, switching back and forth between them using Pay and go for voice and US SIM for data. I also picked up a Vodaphone Pay and Go SIM, as their data side on pay and go seem better than 02. If your phone is unlocked you might try that. If not, a straight data contract with o2 will probably be less frustrating/expensive for you.

Hope that helps!

i have finaly done it! i can now view wap and web pages on my o2 payandgo simcard. it was the secure wap settings which took me ages to realise. but now the problem is that i cant use msn messenger!!?!. ive installed agilemessenger and that doesnt seem to let me log on neither. the error message i get is problems with my proxy settings but i dont want to change them because i can now view normal wap and web pages! any clues!!

So which settings for proxy are you using? Only my internet works and no wap, is wap free too? Agile messenger will not work either, it also connects through 80. This port is blocked on pay as you go as far as i know. If a mobile web account on pay and go sim was available, for free of course it would.

same problem here!!

has anyone got a fix for this.

[opentoideas]

well i also have free GPRS on o2 :-)

i believe that it has to do with the tarrif setup. the tarrif i am on does not take into account GPRS (ie has no charging structure) and in the last 14 months i have yet to see any mention of GPRS on the bill.

so i currently use about 50Mb per month all for nothing.

needless to say they have closed up this loophole now but if like me you are one of the lucky ones that get this..........dont change your tarrif!!

i dont use more than 50% of my talktime but the cost of GPRS means that it isn't worth changing the tarrif.

settings used:

ap name - mobile.o2.co.uk
username - o2mobile
password - password

full web browsing with no issues that i have found :-)
