It should have been charged from July of last year but hasn't for two reasons: 1. O2 do not know of a way to stop unregistered (never topped-up) sims from accessing O2 gprs and 2. O2 keep extending their free wap offer to maximise publicity.

What ever,
. I'm just using to hell and will see if it takes stuff of my balence on the 1st of April. Also, for those of us on O2 online, I think you will be able to swap those lovely WAP minutes of ours to 1MB of GPRS, is it worth it?

I have used it quite a bit in the past few days with my laptop, not sure how much but has to be at least 35Mb...
Only troubles are that the proxy server doesn't seem to support cookies so you can't log into forums, web based e-mail and so forth.
And, from my un-scientific tests, it seems to kill all transfers over 1.5Mb, i.e. it will grab the first 1.5Mb then either the transfer will error or say "Download Completed" when it hasn't. But if you have a download manager that supports resumes then that isn't much of a problem.
I got a text message from "O2-UK" this morning, my heart sank as I thought it might be some message telling me off for over-using their service but it was only some junky text about a bolt-on.

I've used a good 3-5 MB's, sending pictures, using MSN and Esato on WAP and downloading stuff!

I've been using it for about 5 months now. The way around the cookie problem is to disable proxies and use some of your credit to log in using your gsm settings, storing the cookie on the device. Then disconnect, change back to gprs, enable proxy again and your cookie should still be there.
ps-I use it on a mac though.
