@ten18: I also got MSN to work without the proxy server as well. I tried changing status a few times and it seemed to work OK so I wonder why that works but nothing else works without the proxy server. If I turn it off in OSX preferences then I cannot get to any web pages (at all).
The proxy is only an HTTP proxy but it is good for HTTP or HTTPS traffic on any port, but no other type of traffic (FTP etc.) Apart from the download restriction the only other problem with it is that it doesn't seem to support cookies, so no signing into web based e-mail, forums etc. If you have a cookie saved on your computer for say, a forum login, then the forum should recognise it until it expires though.

with the p8s internal browser it just knocks off, no warning or nothing, it does seem to be about the 1mb limit but when its in a real bad mood it does it whenever it feels like it.
at the beginning i dont mind, its when its towards the end it winds me up.
its like back in the day when the original napster was running and these idiots waited until 99% of the download was done then decided to cancel it!

That's a thread and in it there are details of how to get past the dl limit, written by rick87: Quote:there sure is!would have taken me ages to shift the amount of data i've shifted over my phone otherwise. head over to
www.speedbit.com and download DAP(Download Accelerator Plus) awesome piece of software, with the added bonus of not only can you download greater than 1.5mb, but it also accelerates it - i have had speeds of 7-8k on my gprs connection with it. however, bear in mind that not all downloads are compatible with it, due to the scripts some sites use to download the files. a way around this usually is if you can find the file address the script points you to and put the URL directly into DAP, it will download it quite happily. good luck!
@Rhino8: Are you after info on how to connect or how to get it free? I'm still struggling on the connection part myself but I'm sure someone round here knows how to do it. If you're stuck on the "free" part, then all I can say is try the settings mentioned above, keep troubleshooting and good luck.

Do o2 know about this?
if they was to catch ppl using the free gprs trick would they do anything anyway?
dont really care if they block my sim for it because i dont use that sim for anything else anyway. (its an old payg one)
but i wouldnt want them trying to charge me for all the gprs ive used....

@david:
I have managed to connect quite easily a T630. First you need to make a new GPRS data profile in the "Data Accounts" area of the T630. Use the following GPRS settings:
APN: payandgo.o2.co.uk
Username: payandgo
Password: password
Then you need to make note of the SID ID of the GPRS connection. Your phone should display it in the "Data Accounts" area (I'm assuming you're using a T610 or similar). It's just a single digit number.
Then it gets a bit trickier depending on how you want to make the connection with your computer. The basic idea is that you have to make a new entry in Dial Up Networking that allows your computer to dial your phone. I use Bluetooth and the software that came with the adapter created a new connection automatically.
Once you've made the new modem entry in Dial Up Networking, you need to set it to dial *99***SID# - so if the SID is 2 then your phone number is *99***2# ... username is "payandgo", password is "password". If you've got it all connected right then your phone should dial the GPRS connection and Windows should display it's usual flashing computers icon.
Then make sure in your Internet settings (in Control Panel) that you have the proxy set up and switched on for HTTP and HTTPS traffic (193.113.200.195 port 8080), and it should just work.

@dragon2611: I really wouldn't worry about it mate, O2 don't seem like the kind of company that are going to bother checking up on it any time soon, but just as a precaution I'd use a sim that you haven't paid for with a credit card or anything like that, something where they don't know it's you. Besides they can't complain, they're the ones that left it free...
@jonat18: Thanks for all the help you've given, that step by step version above is just brilliant. The only problem I have is that I'm using a usb datacable and I can't seem to get the phone to show up in phone monitor just yet. I think the solution might be just to get a BT dongle eh, and then I'll be putting those steps above into practice and reporting back on whether it works for me or not.
