O2 Pay&Go GPRS settings?
I am trying to find the GPRS settings for my O2 P&G SIM. I have looked on the O2 website and its useless, it only lets you send the settings and my phone (XDA) isn't supported. I have also searched the internet but the settings I have found don't work (and have cost me money trying).
So can anyone give me some working settings?
TIA :j

These aren't the GPRS settings they're the GSM settings. Very slow, very expensive (charged per second).
I work for o2 tech support - here is a walkthrough for the GPRS settings. Note that as a pay&go user you can only access WAP not full internet access.

****These are for an XDA 1, if you have another model of XDA let me know and I'll post those settings.0 -
Neither of them work.
I am starting to think the phone isn't data enabled or they are blocking access for some reason, but its a brand new SIM that I got in the post tuesday with £2-50 credit on it.
This is so annoying, with Virgin it was much simpler!0 -
I was also told that my phone isn't able to be used as a modem because It's an iMode phone and that it's on Pay and Go
If I'd have known that before I wouldn't have touched it0
