Yes you can. I use my freeserve pay as you go dial up settings on Opera, as well as the Vodafone GPRS service (for when I'm abroad in countries that don't have GPRS) Although I really don't see the point of having a P800 if you aren't going to use GPRS. Its so much quicker, cheaper and more stable.

You'll need to set up your ISP dial up settings under internet accounts. You can get them sent for the Sony Ericsson site.

ALSO SEE...

Ive now managed to get email and opera etc to work! They were related as i assumed. I'm not quite sure what i did but i called up vodafone customer services to enquire about the GRPS tariff i was on and to see if he could assist with the problem

BTW - to avoid going thru eight thousand departments b4 u get to the right one this is the number to the ppl who at least kno 'something'! - 08701504566

The guy said i was using the right settings:
i.e. APN (labelled 'address' in the P800 connection settings) set to: internet
user: web
password: web
connection type: GPRS

all other settings remaining the same (default).

He then mumbled something about needing to have a dialup number of: *99#

i couldnt find a text field in which to enter this so i tried creating a dialup account with that as the number (ie just *99#) - but this did nothing - errors came up and the connection was dropped.

I then tried just dialling this number - and i just got cut off.

The guy also said something about me being on a higher price gprs tariff than i needed so he changed it to the lower one (from £7.50 / MB to £2.50 / MB - such a rip off!) but he said it would take at least 24hrs to take effect.

After trying out all this stuff i created a new connection with the actual name: internet
as well as the APN (address): internet
and all the other settings the same.

AND.... It suddenly worked!!

Email, opera etc etc!

So...
It cudve been:
- the guy changing my tariff (tho he sed at least 24hrs)
- dialling the *99# number in some way
- or changing the name of the gprs connection to 'internet'

but upon changing the connection name to something else (eg 'wales' - yes i am Welsh) it still works!!

Confused ???? - me too!

so try all this b4 phoning customer services:
connection type - GPRS
make the actual name of the connection 'internet' (lowercase)
check the tick box to activate the username and password fields then enter
username: web
password: web
address: internet
now try dialling *99# as if calling a number
now try using the connection

If this seems to work 4u let me kno!!!!

if all else fails call the operator on the number above and see what they can do!

AND...

OK... sorry if my post sounds confusing.

This is what i did...
- Go to Control panel in ur phone
- Click the connections tab at the bottom of the window (middle tab)
- Click INTERNET ACCOUNTS
- Click on NEW
- Type (or write!) in the name: internet
- Connection type should already be: GPRS - if not make it GPRS
- Now press the ADVANCED button
- In the "address" text box type: internet
- Now tick the box at the top of this window "username and password required"
- In the USERNAME field type: web
- In the password field type: web - should turn to *** when done
- Leave all other settings the same and press DONE

that should be it for the connection!

- now press DONE again on the window which should now show ur connection called 'internet'.
- now, still in the connections tab, click MESSAGING ACCOUNTS
- Click NEW
- Type the account name u want to call ur email account (eg 'my email box')
- Type YOUR NAME in the box below it
- Enter your email address in the box below that
- Set the connectipn type to either POP3 or IMAP (usually POP3 but some accounts only support IMAP)
- Set the INTERNET ACCESS to your newly created connection: internet
- Now press the inbox tab at the bottom and type in your username and password and the incomming server address - (eg: pop.wherever.com or mail.whatever.net)
- Now click the outbox tab
- type in the outgoing server name here (eg: smtp.wherever.com or mail.whatever.net)
- tick the SMTP authenticate box if ur server requires this (BTW they usually do!)
- if the username and password are different form the inbox mail (btw - they usually are not) type them in here else check the 'same as inbox checkbox.
- Now click the DONE button
- and the DONE button again in the window which should now display ur new email account

thats it - ur email account should now be in ur messages section.

Now if this doesnt already work try dialling *99# (im not sure y!!) from ur handset as if making a call.

If all this fails u will need to contact the technical ppl at vodafone on the number i posted earlier.

Hope this helps!!

You *can* use Opera with a non-GPRS (ie GSM) dial-up connection, and with your Vodafone free minutes... I do so!

The 0845 and 0870 numbers for most ISP's are not included in your free minutes. However, I have a free internet account with Claranet, who have an 0207 dial in number (included on Vodafone free minutes!) and you just create a dial up account on your P800 then you can access your POP3 email (from any POP3 account, doesn't have to be on Claranet) and also surf the real internet, (ie not WAP).

I have the SE internet browser set up to use Vodafone WAP, and use Opera for Claranet internet access. Easy.

If you need further info please reply

thanks
Helen.

Just sign up for a free internet account with Claranet. Then use their 0207 number. It doesn't matter if you have freeserve broadband - you won't be able to use it on the P800. All you want is a dial up connection to a "free-minutes" number, that's what the Claranet account will give you. You should still be able to access freeserve's pop3 server for your email from that account anyway.

cheers,
Helen.
