I have been using mobile web GPRS (not wap, but HTTP browsing) for a few months....i use about 40mb a month....but i have never been charged....does any1 know when they will start charging for this, as ill want to cut back my usage when im paying £2.35 a mb.

I think mobile operators need an "all you can eat" package. 100mb for £20 for example.....

Thanks

I have read in this forum that is suppose to be january. But these dates are always rumors. I get WAP GPRS free and that has been going on since last august. Some people have said they get charged but i have never been charged for one byte. What type of SIM do you have? Mine is contract and my PAYG is also free. I have never tried the mobile internet settings, but i am just assuming that they would run the same kind of promotion with all their GPRS products This message was posted from a T610

Could you please check in the control panel> connections> internet acconts> mobileweb> edit> advanced> and the address is mobile.02.co.uk

@redbull
You need to call your service provider and activate the gprs to use it
