Problem with o2 UK GPRS

---

HI there
i have an problem with my GPRS on XDA 2,
the problem is i can't access internet on my XDA2. i have the following setting
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
username: payandgo
password: password
wap field setting in proxy server 193.113.200.195 @ 9201 port

if i open pda.o2.co.uk wesite in IE, it dispaly every thing very fast aprox @ 45KB/Sec
but if i try to open any other site like yahoo, hotmail, google the speed for GPRS drop to 1KB/Sec. and page can't be dispaled message comes up.

I have PAYG O2 SIM card.

i spoke to o2 Customer services to enable my "Enable Web" services but they told me that they can't do it because i am using PAYG .

IS there any other way to get around this problem i mean without going on contarct with O2. and using the same PAYG sim.

Kind Regards
Gugi

Sorry mate there's nothing that can be done as the Mobile Web APN isn't available for PaynGo

hi all ppl
i found this in this forum

OK, full instructions:

* I recommend deleting any existing GPRS settings you have under the work connection settings before entering these to avoid confusion *

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: payandgo.o2.co.uk
5. Username: 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. You are now ready to surf o2 pay as you go gprs full internet.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news; these instructions were great a few weeks ago, but O2, for reasons best known to themselves, have clocked PAYG access to GPRS

hi there
these settings still works for me
i use in my proxy server setting port 8080 instead of 80

I've managed to get WAP over GPRS working now - these intructions from O2 are what I followed - except that I first deleted teh existing connection (Right-tap on it and select delete):

Xda II GPRS WAP manual settings Pre-pay


It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within 'My Xda' Connections in the O2 Active UI on the XdaII - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the XdaII with an O2 Prepay SIM then the WAP settings will need to be changed manually - note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
IMPORTANT - once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again..


XdaII Manual Setup - GPRS WAP (Prepay)

Tap Start > Settings
Tap 'Connections' tab
Tap 'Connections' icon
Under 'My Work Network' tap 'Manage existing connections'
Tap 'Edit'
The 'Select a modem:' drop-down box should be set to 'Cellular Line (GPRS)'
Tap 'Next'
Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Tap 'Next'
Usernameayandgo
Password: password
Domain: leave blank
Tap 'Advanced'
On the 'TCP/IP' tab, only 'Use server-assigned IP address' should be selected
Tap the 'Servers' tab
Only 'Use server-assigned addresses' should be selected
Tap 'OK'
Tap 'Finish'
Tap 'Proxy Settings' tab (*Note, the soft keyboard may be hiding this tab - tap the keyboard icon at bottom right to clear this away)
Ensure that 'This network connects to the Internet' box is ticked
Ensure that 'This network uses a proxy server to connect to the Internet' box is ticked
Tap 'Advanced'
In the 'WAP' field (Server) enter: 193.113.200.195
In the field to the right of this (Port) enter: 9201
Tap 'OK' and exit

Once you have installed the settings into your handset and saved them, please switch off your handset and switch it back on. This will activate the settings for you.

you can still have full internet on o2 p&g, mines working fine

so you can actually use Interent Explorer to reach html pages?

Can you check out your settings and see how they differ from what's in my last post? Then I'll see if I can get this working too...

Just a quick not here. Try changing the http port to 8080 instead of the default 80 (thanks to gugi_sat). All works perfectly for me now Just need MMS now.

Thanks for the help guys
