okay... here we go. Firstly let's start off by saying that quite a lot of SIM cards have not been provisioned on the systems for use with GPRS. All you should need to do is call up and ask for GPRS to be provisioned.

I know that most of the call centre staff are useless but I'm not

If you have a GPRS enabled handset then you need it provisioned on the SIM... THEN you need the settings aswell. If you want to send MMS you need that provisioning on the SIM also.

If you are having problems with sending SMS then you need to call up o2 and ask them to call DATA SUPPORT/SERVICES and have your number added to a system called "nap"... after half n hour a power cycle of your phone should remedy the problem solved.

Currently GPRS is NOT charged on prepay [payasyougo] on o2 and when charging DOES come into place it will be charged at 2 pence for the first downloaded page and then 1pence per page after that.

If you have a SHARP GX-1 you are screwed... only kidding but really they are naff phones. It is possible to access WAP via GPRS and also use the phone for sending MMS... however most of the time the MMS never reaches destination. Adding the number to the "nap" system as mentioned above SHOULD fix this.

Any more information just post here asking for anything... happy to help.

It's also funny to note that o2 have dropped the GX-1 too, no longer is it our flagship mms phone

I never liked it anyway - I got to play with one while helping a member out and it stank teh biggun.

I phoned up just now and i was told that they would enable my phone for both MMS and GPRS and it worked, although i'm getting a user barred message when trying to send MMS. :-( This message was posted from a T68i

user barred is because your number isn't on the nap system... This is because the nap contains a list of all the SIMs which were sent out as pre-provisioned for use on MMS.

Call up o2 and ask them to call DATA support and add the number to the system called nap

Good luck

Well gee, that'll get you good service...
