you need o2 to send the gprs settings to your phone. when they do it will show in your messages under auto setup. then all you do is tap on it and select save new settings This message was posted from a P900

GPRS availability is indicated by a blue triangle just above the green triangle (which indicates signal strength) in the top left hand corner in flip closed and bottom left hand corner in flip open

to be sure the indicator is enabled go to control panel, connections, internet accounts, other and check that the preferred mode is automatic

try turning your phone off for half an hour. o2 say it can take up to 24 hours for the network to be updated and sim card. This message was posted from a P900

thanks masseur i do have the blue triangle, although getting hotmail through opera is still not working. it keeps coming up could not connect to remote server.

here are the exact settings i have:

in internet accounts i have o2 wap gprs and that is preferred. when iclick edit and go to advanced these are the settings i have.

account name - o2 wap gprs
connection type - gprs

SERVER -
user name and password required - ticked
username - payandgo
password - password
address - payandgo.o2.co.uk

LOG IN -
get IP address automatically - ticked
get DNS address automatically - ticked

PROXY -
use proxy server - unticked

OTHER -
enable PPP extensions - ticked
authentication - normal

oh an on QoS i have

precendence - subscribed

peak rate and mean rate are both subscribed

are these right or do they need to be changed because evertime im on opera i get "couldnt connect to remote server"

thanks

unfortunately, as I mentioned in a different thread yesterday, I don't know much about o2 but I do see that is a wap data account whereas opera requires an internet data account
