Because O2 starts charging the 0845 and 0844 number, I had cancelled my o2 contract, and changed to Pay And Go.
But the previous GPRS setting prevents me to get access to the internet. After I hard-reset the O2 WM6 system, and run the O2 Operator Settings, still no luck.
I quite sure that my number can access to GPRS system, as I received a txt from O2 saying that I have 5M browsing allowance this month.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks !!!
You can't browse the internet on O2 Pay as you go. The only company that allows it on PAYG is Orange as far as I know.
you should be able to go on the internet on any network, payg or contract... it just usually costs a lot on payg.

I thought so too, but just not able to get around it, yet.......
what carphead said in effect is correct "You can't browse the internet on O2 Pay as you go. The only company that allows it on PAYG is Orange as far as I know."
with O2 PayAsYouGo and xda's, pda's whatever you wana call them, you cannot access the worldwide web. you can access wap sites, i.e. wap.google.com, but you have to put WSP:// instead of http://. for example WSP://wap.google.com. by entering wsp:// it then uses the wap connection which is under My Work Network in connection settings and not the mobile web connection under My ISP. the problem is there isn't that many wap sites you can access with the XDA's.

i can view normal websites... but sometimes the site realises i'm on a mobile, and automatically forwards to their mobile version. for example www.google.co.uk automatically forwards to www.google.co.uk/m
it can be done

gprs settings
Thanks Mate you are a life saver i have been looking for them all over
I'm glad to be of assistance. I've always been a eager reader on these forums and it's nice to post something thats helpfull. It only took me around an hour a half to get these settings working! I needed them myself so i could use my O2 payg sim in my Orbit, and being without gprs was getting annoying so had to get it working. And so I did. It all seems a bit complicated but all the steps are nessesary. And I am still trying to find out if outlook can be made to work.
Anyway cheers all

I don't know, mate. But from the settings above, I doubt that you can use Outlook, though I very much like to able to use it too. Becoz from the settings above, you route the internet though a proxy, and outlook itself use a different port which hasn't set in the proxy.
Those settings work for Exchange Activesync too
Good work there, sir.
On a WM6 Pocket PC (sorry - "Professional") I applied the settings you provided, killed the wifi radio and did a send/receive in Pocket Outlook.
It worked. So much for O2's odd attempts to push data users into the contract world.
So, thank you very much. Kudos.
is Outlook part of the Office set of programs... i havent got it on mine, but it would be very useful
Pocket Outlook = Standard Windows Mobile Email client
Sorry, I was using an archaic term there.
What I meant was setting up an Exchange ActiveSync partnership between my Exchange server and my Windows Mobile device, using the built-in bog-standard Microsoft messaging app.
I'd just like to say a huge thanks to kosborn2 for posting those 02 settings, I'd been resigned to being unable to have GPRS on my 02 Exec because I'm a lowly Pay as You Go customer! Every now and again I'd have a quick look on the internet but it was usually the same wrong settings. Well done that man, you've made my day.
From experience o2 do try and restrict some pag customer to some sites a trick work round o2s restrictions and save time and data usage is on you pc (not ppc) right mouse click on the part of the page you want to view i.e. http://charts.moneyam.com/Chart.asp...SV=0&YFormat=g&XFormat=hh&Fix=1&E=UK&Code=UKX
Save to ppc favorites and it should work
Magic!
I've put a PaG O2 card in my old Himalaya (flashed to WM5) with my contract card in my Artemis, and now my wife can use it for GPRS thanks to thoose settings.
Thanks very much
thanks a lot for the settings, this is the only place i could find these settings, o2's website is no help whatsoever. without wanting to hijack the thread have u ever got mms working? i upgraded windows mobile and dont have the o2 active add on bits so i was wondering how i could send/recieve mms? thanks a lot again.

please can any one tell me how to put the settings into my htc p3300, for O2 gprs, i have looked every where and cannot find any help, sorry if i am a bit thick but i am a "o.a.p just trying to keep up with all this tech " ( ps never posted before-first attempt Thanks
Here' cab file with full o2 settings
Htc P3300/o2
zen, thanks for the reply and help, i put the cab file on the phone all o.k BUT it will not allow pre-pay, paygo i have rang o2 but they will not help unless i have a contract with them,then they will set up my phone. am i doomed
Strange...it should let you let you have the option of choosing pre pay or contract.
O2 UK have never allowed auto setup of pay & go because they don't sell xda machines on pay & go and don't support it.
You can web browse with an O2 pay & go connection, but you can't do pop3 email, MSN or tomtom traffic. You need a contract sim for those.
Here's the settings you need for O2 pay & go.
Start > Settings > Connections > Connections.
Under ‘My Work Network’ tap ‘Add a new modem connection’
In the ‘Enter a name for the connection’ box, enter any name of your choice.
Change the ‘Select a modem’ drop-down box to ‘Cellular Line (GPRS)’
Tap ‘Next’
Enter the access point name as payandgo.o2.co.uk
Tap ‘Next’
Enter the username as payandgo
Enter the password as password
Tap ‘Finish’
Tap ‘Proxy Settings tab
Tap ‘Advanced’
Tap ‘WAP’
Delete the IP address in the Server field and tap OK
Tap ‘HTTP’
In the Service box enter 193.113.200.195
In the Port box enter 8080
Tap OK 4 times to exit
Thanks a lot, thats worked a treat, but i didnt know o2 is no good for TomTom traffic i have a paygo Orange sim, would that work? if so i will need settings for that ( thanks for any help)
I'm sure this has been answered before but I cannot find it.
I got just got hooked up with Cingy moving from T-Mobile. I have checked all internet settings carefully according to the instructions received from Cingy.
Everything works except I have to click send/receive to get email. It does not automatically download as it did when I was using T-Mobile.
I am not using Cingy's Xpress Mail. I'm using my mail2web.com account.
Any help would be much appreciated.
*HINT*
Maybe something like activesynch
I just went through this. However, I am using Exchange Server. You need to call Cingular, get yourself escalated to a higher level 'data' tech, and talk to them about provisioning your account for diect push.
*SIGH*
Umm no this has nothing to do with Cingular..
Launch ActiveSynch and click Menu/Schedule
Make sure its set to 'As items arrive'
You may want to check off 'Use above settings when roaming'
MrDsl is correct. I use the above setting for my work account eamail and schdeule the hours for business hrs. Btw you will want to have PDA connect plan for this because you phone will convieniently not turn gprs off at the end of your scheduled sync time.
Gentlemen:
Thanks for the info. I have the activesync settings right. I have the PDA plan for the 8525. I'll call Cingular. So far I'm impressed with the data speed, but the voice quality and number of dropped calls far suppass what I had with T-Mobile.
Maybe i'm retarded, but I cannot for the life of me find the Menu>Schedule as MrDSL described. I've checked on the phone, on the pc... I'm guessing that I am just overlooking it constantly, but where is it?!

Open ActiveSync. On the left is Sync, on the right is Menu. Schedule.
And as everyone here has stated, this has absolutely nothing to do with Cingualr, period. If you DO decide to call them, you (and they) have more patience than I.
Also, one needs never use their PC to configure AS for push mail. My PC is used only to flash new ROM's and copy a cab.
ah, thats why i wasn't seeing it before, it's greyed out. now just to figure out why it's greyed out and everything will be kosher.
sorry for the retard question, thanks for the answer.
Does any of you manage your own exchange server?
I have pretty much trouble getting directpush / activesync to work .. OWA works, OMA works..i'm running out of options here ..
I know this is not the place to ask but just giving it a shot.
TIA, diem

Push Isn't Pushing
I've read this thread completely and I still cannot get the push email to push.
Facts:
1) I am using Dutty's WM6 Premium v. 2 on an 8525 on Cingular USA with the $44.95 PDA plan.
2) For internet settings, I have tried both the MediaNet Settings with all the proxy settings they suggest, and the more simple settings (My ISP) where one just uses wap.cingular and the User name of [email protected] and the CINGULAR1 password, but not proxy stuff.
3) On the Active Sync/Schedule settings, I have chosen "as items arrive" for both settings.
4) My Exchange Server is mail2web.com. Previous to buying a Cingular SIM card, I used the BA, a Wizard, and my 8525 to receive push email using a T-Mobile Sim (so I have a little experience).
5) I can get a 3G internet connection. It shows two 3Gs on the top of the today screen and then Two H's (for HSPDa) when downloading data. When the icon is tapped it shows how long the connection has been live.
6) I can get my email off the exchange server by clicking send/recieve, but I WANT PUSH.
7) I can put my T-Mobile Card in the 8525 and change the WAP settings to wap.voicestream.com and get email pushed instantly (The internet Icon at the top of the today screen shows two Es for edge network).
8) I can put my Cingular SIM in my Blue Angel and get push email (via GPRS).
9) This all makes not sense, I've got a live connection, I can download the email but it won't automatically show up.
Any clues would be greatly appreciated.
Have you tired isp.cingular and [email protected] (no proxies). These are for the PDA access plan (not MediaNet((=wap)) which runs through proxies)

1.) Delete your exchange server on the 8525.
2.) Start fresh as far as connection settings go so either uninstall all connections or start the os fresh(best option).
3.) Run attached .cab. It will be automatically set with the isp.cingular no proxys as default.
4.) Launch ActiveSynch and setup your exchange server again.
Any luck?
MrDSL
Thanks for the advice. I tried that. I finally reflashed the ROM and it all works perfectly.
Thanks Again
Okay,
I got my P3600 yesterday, CID Unlocked it and have ran several rom's on it.
But I have noticed that the MMS Sending and Recieving facility does not work.
I have checked my settings with my Service Provider (O2 Ireland Contract)
And have used the Network Wizards that are on some ROM's to no avail.
Basically what happens is the MMS goes to 99% and then fails and stays in the Outbox and incoming MMS does not come in at all.
I have also upgrade to the 1.50 radio and this has not made a difference.
Is this a known issue, currently using the most recent Bepe rom so hopefully a solution can come up for this as it is a very nice and versatile rom.
same issue here on o2 ireland, mms with the same sim card in another phone works fine, but on the trinity it just stays in the outbox with the little clock in the top left corner of the message icon..tried 3 or 4 latest ROMs, even the official dopod 3600i ROM, same difference.
any help appreciated
At least I'm not on my own, thanks for the feedback dude
Network Wizard may have some configuration error.
For example MMS setting for WIND (ITA) are wrong, it uses for the gateway 212.245.244.1 but the correct one is 212.245.244.100.
Double check your MMS settings to see if there are some errors.
For cookers:
The file provision.zip can be modified, inside there are operator settings for various conuntry.
The password of the archive is 1234, modify the wrong entries, then repack and remember to reprotect the file with the same password (1234).
If anyone needs the correct entries give me a shout I have all the screen shots for WAP 2.0 and WAP 1.2 settings but the darn MMS dont work.
I am certain it is something very simple bu what is the mystery
I'm afraid I'll have to mirror you again here mate, settings are not the issue, tried every possible combination, old ones, new ones, old ones mixed with the new ones, etc....no joy...
I had a similar problem with an SP5 last year after a lot of fiddling I got it.
It seems to be not as straightfoward as I thought.
If anyone has a P3600 with working MMS for O2 Ireland can you post your settings here, it is most likely some straight port and IP combination
Actually has anyone here used MMS on any rom sucessfully especially on Irish Networks ?
Reply I got from HTC :
Wont work for me can you test :

Hi,
I have HTC TP2.WinMo 6.1
I am a user of PUSHMAIL from Etisalat(U.A.E). The service provider provides pushmail software for using pushmail. the software uses the seperate access point i.e. pushmail and for using internet, the accesspoint is different.
I want to use internet and wants Pushmail to be always connected simultaneously, i.e. internet and pushmail should work together.
here is the help and explanation from HTC Customer care:
Settings of the Direct Push Mail for Etisalat: Kindly note that there's a small problem in the software that Etisalat has released, and this problem is that you can't choose the default modem or network that you are connected to, thus you have to make the modem of the Push mail the default modem of all programs on the device. And as long as you can't connect to two modems at the same time, you won't be able to use the GPRS (internet) at the same time with the Direct Push Mail. The solution for this problem is to manually switch between the Direct Push Mail modem (GPRS.ae) and the GPRS modem (Etisalat.ae), (or incase of smart phones, switch between the Direct Push Mail Network(Etisalat Push Mail) and the GPRS Network) and this might be acceptable because you have to be connected to the Push Mail 24/7 while you only use GPRS and internet browsing for a couple of hours.
• Go to http://www.etisalat.ae/pushmail and click on the "Download Client/Software" icon OR Directly go to http://personal.pushmail.ae/download
• Choose the model of HTC Mobile, or even the closest one (All PDA's have the same software) • Download the software (a Zipped file almost 2.5 MB) and install it on your device using the Activesync.
• To install the software on the device, go to start ProgramsFile explorer, and search there for the file that you have just installed (You'll find it in the same place that you copied the file to from the PC)
• Tap on the Zipped file, and it will automatically start installing (Choose Memory card if available as a location for installing it)
• After installing with the required language, the phone should be restarted.
• After Restarting the phone, go to start Programs Etisalat Push Mail (The green icon of Etisalat)
• If you are asked for an "Access Point Name", Choose "Push mail" from the list you have.
• If you didn't find "Push Mail" in the list, or if you are not asked for an access point please do the following:
• Tap Start Settings Connections Tab Connections.
• You'll find 2 tabs; tasks and Advanced, tap the Advanced Tab.
• Tap "Select Networks".
• Under "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using", Select the default network that you use for the GPRS Service, and tap Edit.
In the Modems Tab, tap New.
• Enter any name for this connection (for example: Etisalat PushMail)
• Under "Select a modem", select "Cellular line (GPRS)", and tap Next.
• Under the "Access Point Name", write GPRS.ae, and tap Next.
• Leave the Username, Password, and Domain blank, and tap Finish.
• You'll return back to the modems tab where you have a table of "Name / Number", long press the modem you've entered till a drop down menu appears "Delete / connect", and choose connect.
• After connecting to the correct modem, choose whether you want to set up a personal Email or a corporate email, and enter all required fields for your mail.
Someone please help me to make both internet and pushmail work at the same time on my htc tp 2.
There is a blackberry connect thread on here somewhere that tells how to activate multiple APN's
thanks for the reply. i already had a look at that, but it will work for blackberry i think. plus i am a noob and this is my first ever windows phone. there are a lot of genius techies out here, i wish some one colud help me out with it.
thanks.
can anyone help me in acheiving this.
everytime when i need to use internet on my tp2, i have to select and connect etisalat internet accesspoint,which results in disconnecting pushmail services.
someone plz help me.
I had this problem on my BlackBerry, too, and I figured it was some stupid RIM thing. But now I'm having it on my Touch Pro 2.
I want to run on WiFi but with the radio off -- like when I'm roaming someplace expensive, but in a hotel where there's WiFi. When I do this, I can browse just fine, but the Inbox (standard WM mail program) says it can't make a connection. When I turn the radio back on, the mail comes through... but I don't know which connection it's using.
Anybody know how to fix this? Or at least, what's going on?
I dont know exactly what the problem is here, but i've always had this problem, I actually havent even tried just wifi in a while. I would say just use the http version of your email when you turn the radio off to save the frustration
I found the answer.
The connection that the Inbox uses to contact the server is set in the server settings -- so you can have a different approach for each server, I guess. Anyway, it's:
Tools > Options
Then tap the name of the server you want to change. On the next screen, tap Edit Account Setup. Then it's Next, Next, Next, Next, (4 of them) until you get to the screen that says Outgoing (SMTP) mail server: and lets you set up an outgoing server. At the bottom is a link that says Advanced Server Settings. Tap that, and look at the pull-down for Network Connection. There should be one called The Internet, which does NOT exist in Start > Settings > Connections. As far as I can tell, that's the WiFi. If you choose that, then tap Next until you tap Finished, Inbox will retreive E-mail via WiFi even if the radio is turned off.

Thanks!!! That works well on every pop-email-account for me!
But how can I choose the connection for my hotmail-account in the inbox? I found no way to prevent using the GSM-connection without switching the radio off, when I try to update my hotmail-account.
Anybody knows how to fix this?
