o2 UK GPRS contract and pay&go connections help

[robboy]

I’m trying to do three things,

1- set up an o2 pay&go gprs connection
2- be able to save my contract gprs connection
3- to set all of this up in the corporate mode (i hate that horrible O2 active stuff)

i have been trying to do this for ages, i can connect with my contract sim but nothing else.

if some one could give me a step by step guide that would be great, if not any links

getting prepay configurations to work on o2 is a pain in the a**, however you need your connection settings configured for the work network only and if you havent a connecting profile create one with the details that follow;

apn - payandgo.o2.co.uk
userid - payandgo
pwd - password

you also need to update proxy details for wap - 193.113.200.195

also bear in mind that you wont be able to connect to the internet directly, no email, skype, messenging, vpn access or other services except for basic wap browsing, it sucks but that's o2 and prepay... cheap and cheerful and not meant for these devices ;(

I could always get wap pages - at about 1 pence per page but can now get web pages using the above setting in the http box then chose port 8080 (instead of port 80) .

More information and sites to choose from but it seems extremely expensive ! !
I go on for a few minutes to see the latest news or football stories and it costs about one pound 50 pence for around 2 minutes !!


Does it have to be this expensive or is there a cheaper way of surfing - using a PAY AS YOU GO sim ??
