O2 payg gprs email, is it possible?

[cruisin-thru]

I have an O2 payandgo sim, I get 300 minutes wap over gprs minutes or 300 internet over gsm free. Is there any way of setting up my email to use gprs instead of gsm with this sim card? Any help appreciated.

as far as I could find out... you can't :-(

That's why I switched to Orange... which was a shame, I liked all the free sms from o2

Sorry I only just got round to this post lol

Email via PAYG GPRS is not possible on the O2 Network because it requires mobile web, which is not set up on PAYG, only on contract.

Mobile Web is GPRS but accesses through a different APN (Access Point Name). The difference being that the servers the email uses are on the WWW (HTTP), not on the WAP (WSP). PAYG Wap users cannot access POP3 email for this reason sadly.

In short, PAYG do not have the facilities to access POP3 and therefore the email will not work.

I have put this forward at work (I work in customer services for pay monthly) and should I receive an answer back I will update the forum.
