o2 PAYG gprs is rubbish

i got an O2 payg sim from a link on here, took their £4 GPRS bolt on only to find that they don't support [ block] most of the things i want to use inc yahoo mail and POP3 email, what little it does it does at a snails pace. I have a Nokia 9300 communicator, when i put my Orange PAYG sim in everything works no probs, so it must be O2. O2 customer service were next to useless.

  • Yes....
    O2 only allow GPRS WAP access on PAYG. They block standard internet access not via the proxy or POP3 etc to anywhere other than O2 email...
