GPRS o2 Pay as you go Sim

[MossY_DoG]

Think the title says it all. i am trying to setup my Polaris / Orbit2 to connect to o2 GPRS so i can do stuff like send a picture message.

O2 got a bit sniffy when i asked them as the Orbit isnt a pay as you go phone.

anyone know how to get the phone setup?

hi, there. i'm now switching to o2 pay&go and tried the settings above. unfortunately, mobile.o2.co.uk doesn't work for pay and go SIM in an XDA.

does yours work ok with mobile.o2.co.uk? O2 says pay & go settings should be payandgo.o2.co.uk for o2web as well, but that doesn;t work either.

any experience to share would be highly appreciated. cheers.

It doesn't connect to 3g/gprs or once you're connected it doesn't allow you to do anything with it ?

just FYI O2 pay and go blocks ALL internet traffic except wap, so try a wap page if its the latter problem.

correct - all these setting will allow you to do is send and receive picture messages - you will not be able to get online with them.

fyi if you look on the o2 website for bolt ons choose the 10£ per month unlimited internet and wi fi for the iphone and use the following settings it will work on most wm6 handsets

username payandgo.o2.co.uk
password vertigo

but you must have the bolt on and sim activated for this to work there is no other way apart from a contract and take no notice of o2 saying it only works on an iphone !!!
