GPRS Settings

[R_J_Webb]

Hi guys. i know this topic has been done to death, but please one more time.

Can someone provide the setting and info i need to get my wizard to connect to O2 GPRS pay as you go.

i believe it is possible but can not manage it, i once asked o2 to enable gprs and i have the G on the taskbar. so i'm assuming i'm all good to go.

i told the setup app after a hard reset that i wanted gprs and it always says unknown error can't connect etc...

please help, don't link me off to a mad thread that argues against itself, i could really so with finding someone that uses a wizard on o2 pay as you go.

anyone?

PS: thanks

that is brilliant, my settings were all messed up.

atill didn't work so i wondered about my sim, called o2 and yes i have data enabled but my sim is nearly 8 years old and so gprs is kinda beyound it lol. its a pp4 sim and i think the latest is a pp9.

anyway o2 are sending me a new one for free :) so it should work with these setting, many thanks

[R_J_Webb]

i now have a new sim :) but still can not connect :(

well ok i can connect it says connecting then i get the 2 arrows saying its connected. but checking my hotmail... i select send and receive and it takes ages then errors saying it can not respond to one of the requests.

i have checked with o2 that i cam data enabled, i have a new sim and i am using the above settings provided by meschle. (where do you put the port number btw? could not see that anywhere).

anyone have any ideas... please

[meschle]

Port number is not important if not asked for. Sounds like it is connecting - can you browse on internet? How are you trying to download hotmail? As far as I know you cant download email by pop with hotmail.

[R_J_Webb]

thanks for your fast reply. i'm using pocketmsn well trying to anyway. its got my hotmail email listed in it and works well on wifi. msn messenger fails to connect as well.

can i just confirm you have managed to use payasyougo gprs with the wizard? i'm a thinking its time to call O2 again.

one daft question... how do i hard reset it? the manual says. turn it off hold and keep held the top 2 buttons and stab the reset pin. this never worked it did once work while the device was turned on. now i come to hard reset it again and i simply cannot. have tried all sequences of on off buttons and stabbing. this is a daft problem to be having lol

[meschle]

I have a payg card but is not connected for data, the settings were from the same source as contract settings which work. Just a question under connections when you add new connection - did you choose cellular line (gprs) - just a thought could be missed.

Hard reset - the way you describe is the way i do it without problem. Some people do it by settings\clear storage - i feel its pretty much the same.

[R_J_Webb]

I want to say thanks a lot for your help, but if you have never connected to gprs on a payasyougo sim then you don't know if it will work. O2 assure me it can work but i'm close to thinking it can not.

Could you try your payasyougo sim with data and see if it works? then i will know if it is a fault my end or not.

Is there anyone out there that HAS go O2 payasyougo GPRS working on a wizard?


PS: hard reset, thanks clear storage works

I have an O2 contract and have an O2 PAYgo sim as well, the PAYgo sim will let you surf the internet via GPRS but NOT send and receive email or connect Agile messenger or pocket MSN, basically its a crap GPRS service, on O2 contract you connect via GPRS through what O2 call their 'mobile web' service, with this you can send/receive email, connect to pocket MSN etc no probs, but like i said PAYgo will not let you connect via O2's 'mobile web' service. So basically your screwed with O2 PAYgo!
The BEST option is to buy an Orange PAYgo sim for a quid i think from their web site, this gives you the same deal as the O2 option i.e 300 free text, 1 MB data for topping up a tenner a month, BUT you will be able to connect to pocket MSN, send receive emails and connect to Agile messenger no probs, i've got one of these and it works brilliantly! They even have an add on that lets you pay a quid for unlimited GPRS usage up to midnight of that particular day, its a fantastic deal!

These are the settings i used on my O2 XDA IIs and now use on my MINI S (the steps it shows in order set it up are for the XDA IIs, but is nearly the same for the MINI S):

1. Go to Start -> Settings -> Connections Tab -> Connections.
2. You'll see 2 sets of option links. 'My ISP' and 'Work'. Under the work links, choose 'Add a new modem connection'.
3. Name for connection: o2 gprs. Modem: Cellular Line (GPRS). Tap Next.
4. Access Point Name: wap.o2.co.uk (for contract) payandgo.o2.co.uk (for payandgo)
5. Username: o2wap (for contract) payandgo (for payandgo)
6. Password: password
7. Tap Finish.
8. Back in the connections settings screen, tap 'Edit My Proxy Server'.
9. Tick 'This network connects to the Internet' and 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet'.
10. In the proxy server box enter: 193.113.200.195
11. Tap OK.
12. Back in the connections settings screen, tap the Advanced tab.
13. Tap 'Select Networks'
14. In both drop down boxes choose 'Work' as the connection. Tap OK.
15. Tap OK again.
16. Sorted!
