XDA Mini S O2 Pay as You Go - GPRS - Connection Lost

[Techntach]

Hi
I've just got the above phone & seem to be able to get the GPRS connection but when I launch IE I get the message "Connection lost"
(But the GPRS still looks OK)

Any ideas would be gratefully received!

Thanks :x

As I know, internet access is not available for O2 PAYG customer, it's only for pay monthly.

I got the same problem with O2 PAYG and everything was back to normal when I change the SIM card with O2 monthly or another PAYG (vodafone & t-mobile)

Thanks stones...........I've been in touch with O2 & they advised the same re the PAYG sim but didn't suggest another network. I should be able to get WAP sites with PAYG O2 but can't do that either at the moment.
I'm going to try one of the other networks
Thanks again

You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go GPRS full internet, but you will not be able to use outlook and MSN. However, it's still OK. To open MSN you can download Agile messenger. To access your email, just use the web access. You can only use 5MB for free on O2 PAYG. After that you will be charged.

Thanks go gugi_sat who helped me to solve the problem:

Hi;

I also know that OS payg customers can access gprs - i did on my last phone (Sony P800) with no problems. But now on the 2020 i can access GPRS but can not get web pages.

I see your settings for my work network - - but I do not have my work network on the connections page... what you are saying seems to make sense as my problems seems to be a DNS or gateway issue..

But now, how do I get my work network onto the connections settup page? It was there, but somehow with the scrambling around that I have done to get conencted to GPRS it has gorne away :-(

Thanks;

If in connections you go into the advanced tab, go into select networks, on the lower pul down menu you will find my work network, select this and hopefull when you go back it should now be there. Im a newbie but i think i just worked this out from playing.
