> Free O2 GPRS coming to an end May 01
Bookmark topic
O2 are sending 'courtesy messages' to say that O2 GPRS is coming to an end, they quote the period that they haven't been charging individuals and that it's all over.
Anyone else getting them? I know of three people now.
"O2 Courtesy Message: We have not charged you for data calls outside your bundle since DATE. You won't be charged for these but normal charges will commence on 1 May."

I think they are running a bit scared. I also have an old Genie tariff and they're offering an upgrade without having to change the tariff to a new one, which they never would before.
Customers must be dropping like flies so charging for data is a sure fire way to lose some more!
I'm not sure I agree about the price plans though. The online ones are really quite reasonable when you look at the likes of orange for example. O2 could do with a bit more customisation at contract level. They concentrate far too much on their pay as you go customers.

There price plans are to expensive (for me) I used to pay £13 a month with tmobile for 750 free anytime mins a month and 50 free txts.
But with o2 its £20 for 100 mins (off peak) and 50 free txts. Cant wait till my contract runs out!!!

i dont think any1 using port 8080 should be worried.
it hasnt been mentioned in the txt messages.
i think its a case of pay monthly ppl using thier allowance then still getting it for free that are gonna be affected.
can any1 on payandgo confirm wether or not they got this txt?
i havnt!

are people still getting free GPRS on o2 UK PAYG? Have just got a sim and have been trying all manner of settings (have seen posts on various websites detailing port, username, pwd and IP etc) but as yet no joy. Id figured it wasnt free through port 8080 any longer as all the posts ive read are quite old.
Are people here still getting it for free at the moment - if so i will persevere with getting it to work.
Cheers
