With the recent completion of my 12 month contract wih O2, I decided to try to get a better data tariff for my Himalaya.
Best O2 could manage - 50mins talk, 200sms, 11Mb gprs for £24pm on a 12 month contract.
Vodafone - 200mins talk and 1000sms (or equivalent amount of mms / gprs) That's equivalent to 50Mb of gprs usage!!! And, it only has a 1 month cancellation period.
I sure hope I'm not missing something, because the SIM is already on its way!
Has vodaphone said that the smsi are equivalent to to GPRS? That's a really good package, 50mb of gprs. Is it all for £24 as well? ex vat?
V
The Vodafone rep specifically told me that 20sms = 1Megabyte data, and I was quite specific about the fact I wanted a good data tariff on my XDA2 for browsing, email, etc... and as the call was recorded.. it *should* work out OK.
This is great! Means I can use traffic update on Tomtom as much as I want. Might even buy a Backpack so I can email images from my Canon 300d. 8)
The guy was really very persistant though, I have to say. I'm sure these call centre guys must get some SAS training in interogation. Had its plus side though, he made a point of sifting through the available phone numbers until I got one I liked :lol:
Not sure about inc/exc VAT, but in my limted experience of mobile companies to date, quoted prices are inclusive.
I can't understand how an SMS would be 50KB. I was under the impression each SMS would be around 256 bytes - hence the 160 character limit.
I know, the sums were flying through my head faster than treacle up a shovel when I was on the phone to vodafone
But at the end of the day, 50Mb is 50Mb, and £25 is £25. So, as long as I can genuinely use 50Mb of gprs in any given month for £25 (plus, use 250 minutes of talk-time), then wayhey! Let's see if i can make Vodafone introduce a 'fair usage' policy! :evil:
Yeah O2 suck. I unlocked my Orange M2000 (Blue Angel) and they won't give me any GPRS Pay and Go settings that will work, I have tried everything. Orange are now offering the same tariff I am on with o2 with 300 free texts, 1mb free GPRS when you top up £10 a month. They also offer a free Sim Card if you apply before Wednesday and free calls to Orange customers for 5 years. Is anybody on this tariff with Orange? Would you recommend me trying it? Do you think I will be able to access GPRS even though I am on Pay as you go?
Many Thanks.

@ Waddington..Have you tried all this?
I take it you've been through all this??(below) I just got 2 free sims from O2, 100minutes free to any mobile, 1MB GPRS (on pay n go), 100 free texts or mix n match what you want.
O2 Xda IIs GPRS WAP Pay and Go settings:
Make sure that when entering 'O2' into the settings that the letter 'O' is selected and not a zero.
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within Tools > Connections in the O2 Active UI on the Xda IIs - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the Xda IIs with an O2 Pay and Go SIM the WAP settings will need to be changed manually. Note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
Important: Once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again.
Note: Only WAP services are possible with a Pay and Go SIM. For services that need a web connection (web browsing, POP3, MSN Messenger), a Pay Monthly SIM would be required.
1) Tap Start
2) Tap Settings
3) Tap the Connections tab
4) Tap the Connections icon

Hi, Yeah I have tried all of that. A number of times. I managed to get my PDA to say connecting but then it says disconnected. It’s a shame really because I really like O2 but not being able to access GPRS on this mobile especially because it’s a PDA is not good. I will defiantly keep my O2 Sim card just in case they give support for GPRS on the blue angel sometime. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
There may still be hope..
@Waddington..There may still be hope. Register with www.simalert.com They email you the second they get any FREE SIMS deals, from VODA, ORANGE, O2, T-MOBILE etc. I just got 2x O2 Pay n Go Sims for free, 10pound topups , 100 free texts , 100free minutes to any mobile, 1MB free GPRS downloads, plus your 10pounds of calls. O2 should REALY treat there Pay n Go customers equaly as Contract customers :roll:
The O2 XDA 2's is a high end piece of kit, and a good sale for O2.
It's only fair that O2 should treat us with more respect and service.
Seeing how these new Pay n Go sims support GPRS, and O2 should be helping you out with your Sim. Is it an XDA issue or a Sim issue?
If its a SIM issue then they should send you a new one with your exiting number, it's no big deal to them, it's just a few keystrokes to them. And you pay them at least 10pounds every month plus Bolt-Ons.
A simcard must cost O2, 0.002p to mass produce. good luck! :wink:

Cheers but..
Thanks Daz but I have been on the I-Mate site and could not register as I have an O2 XDA serial number etc.. Also I tried everyhting Waddington did and I can't connect either I'm sending O2 this thread, may they hang there heads in shame! Orange do a good new sim dont they? I've orderd one and it was FREE. To O2 : You know what you can do with O2. :wink:
Now on Vodafone
Update... received vodafone sim (day later than expected, but hey), but it wouldn't register on the network.
3 calls later to customer services (twice cut off) and it transpired that the phone number didn't match the sim. Fixed, but now with a phone number consisting of random digits (not the 'magic' number I had been promised).
Few days later, I receive sms messages for someone else. Another call to customer services reveals that someone at vodafone has inadvertently entered my sim number into this other person's account. So, had to collect a new sim from the local vodafone shop and call customer services to activate it. However, did get a months free line rental and free number change (now have a decent number).
Just as well I'm in a good mood this week!
Vodaphone, O2, Jokers!
OMG! they are all as bad as each other, employing staff fresh out of Burger King!!! No wonder they make so many mistakes.. I just got a FREE Voda Sim , do I dare try topping it up? I think not after reading that last post.
I have some of them new O2 GPRS enabled (or so called GPRS enabled) sims. I think I will email O2 again and see what kind of automated reply I get. with all these cards looks like I have a pack of JOKERS!! OK gang it's time to FLAME ON! i'm gonna email the crap out of O2 until I get some service! because of the NON SERVICE OF GPRS originaly offered to me and Waddington etc etc :: [email protected] - has anyone got the cutomercare email address for VODAPHONE? ORANGE? this would be helpful as I can't afford to phone them.
21-11-05 COMPLAINT TO O2 MANAGEMENT.
TO: [email protected] ("DIRECTOR" OF O2 CUSTOMER SERVICE)
Dear Sir/Madam, I am absolutly disgusted that your company can't figure out a way to make the O2-XDA-lls WAP work properly, so many other people with the same problem now get this pre-made message saying that "The O2 XDA 2s can't be WAP enabled to Pay as You Go sim", and thats after you put us through all the previouse setup instructions that takes ages knowing that it wont work anyay!. All that so you can offer us MMS messages which no one uses!. And the tarrif includes WAP access and or 1MB of WEB SURFING on my Newer Sims, and these wont work either! This is a flagrant breach of your terms and conditions. And trying to make it alright by offering us MMS messgaes? well I dont want MMS messages , AND THEY DONT WORK ANYWAY even if I did want them! and I DONT.
O2 should hang there heads in shame! at the total disrespect of Pay n Go Customers! treated like third class citizens after buying High End Flagship O2 XDA PDA phone..
I NEED WAP or GPRS ACCESS!. I suggest that your Management look at this thread:

This has been a terrible experience O2!
Dear Viveck (director O2 customer service), I awoke to find my "G" symbol stating that GPRS is now setup? so I tryed to connect and it said It was connected, great I thought. So I tried connect to a WAPSITE , nothing, I tryed to connect to several other WAP WEBSITES, nothing, AND I'm getting charged for it! I recieved a message form O2 to say TopUp or loose your allowance, so I topped up just earlier, and got nothing in return! my number is 07*********, I have just recieved another text message, its saying My TopUp is taking longer than expected??? and we are sorry for the inconvenience??? what is going on?? I have still not recieved my topup.
This is completely unacceptable, I would like some kind of compensation for the complete incompetance and run around i've had with O2's lack of service.
The reply from my last complaint from O2:
Currently you are subscribed to the free allowances of 300 text messages and 300 WAP minutes and you will be "charged" to access WAP via GPRS.
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network.
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone tell me how to connect using GSM?? As O2 have failed to tell me how. I seem to recognise the above +447712927927 I'm sure thats the one thats always been in my sim settings. any help would be appreciated. I have had no reply from Viveck Dev. good grief
This might work, but I'm not gaurunteeing anything..
From O2 : Re: No free WAP and or GPRS.
A) Your mobile number 07********* has a free allowance bundle of 300 text messages and 300 GSM WAP minutes. This is why you are charged for accessing GPRS WAP.
I request that you immediately call 2425 free or text 'ONMSG' to 21300 to change your free 300 GSM WAP minutes to 1 Mb GPRS WAP.
Your Anniversary date is the **nd of every month.
B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07******** in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been reactivated.
"ACTUALY I DID TOPUP AT 10.A.M. I RECIEVED MY TOPUP AT ABOUT 1PM"
Please let us know which top-up method was used. E-TOPUP WAS USED
I ASKED FOR SOME COMPENSATION:
C) You are eligible for a free Joining Treat AND an O2 Treat.
Please click the links given below for more details:

O2s unbelievable incompetance.
MR.****** ***** 07********* SCOLIOSIS SUFFERER WITH NO LANDLINE PHONE. THIS IS MY LIFE LINE.
Dear Sir / Madam, I topped up at approximatly 9.30 AM on the 22nd of November after getting a reminder text from O2 that very morning, PLEASE enable my text and WAP as I am being charged again I have done everything you said to the letter and still I'm getting charged, There was a delay from O2 adding my credit due to a problem with O2 not me. I recieved 3 text messages saying "we are sorry for the inCONvenience etc..."
YOU SAY:
>B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07*********
>in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been
>reactivated.
THIS IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH O2, NOT ME. I HAVE A RECEIPT TO PROOVE THAT I TOPPED UP ON THE MORNING OF THE 22nd NOV, IF YOU WANT A COPY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have also reluctantly made the GPRS changes from GSM WAP to GPRS at 1MB
that you have told me to do, I will wait another day and try it. I dont expect it to work, even though I've spent ages along with many other people trying to make our XDA phones to work at www.xda-developers.com ,
QUESTION: Can you tell me the correct "connection settings" for FREE 1-MB GPRS from an O2-XDA-2s-PDA-PHONE? as the last ones didn't work.
RE: XDA-DEVELOPERS Sorry for multiple posts BUT this may help some of you complain and get some kind of compensation.
o2 and net connection
OK team reading the thread I m not too sure what service is availiable through o2 .
I have an Alpine ( XDA 11i) and use a number of sims . I only use the P A U G sim for net access and limit my self to £10.00 per month , which at their rates of £ 2.35Mb is almost nothing , but it works .
In the past I have also been able to connect to the net on the 927 no but not at GPRS speed ( cellular line , not cellular line GPRS), at a real catapillar speed . Now this wont work at all and I get a no modem at this No dialoge box !!! . however , if you dial the No on a normal phone and listen there clearly is digital traffic ( ie a modem ) .
Any thoughts
Astro1
I still need correct settings , I CAN get GPRS to connect but NOTHING surfs up at all WAP and WWW. sites. I choose 50 minutes to any mobile, then they sent me a text saying I have the free minutes everymonth till 23 02 06 - I guess its better than nothing (FOR NOW!), BUT my problems havn't been resolved like you I still can't surf up anything, I wonder am I only supposed to Surf WAP sites via GPRS, all the sites I tried said The Page Is Unavialable,yeh right so Google Mobile is unavailable?? I think not. Plus I own a few domains and it can't find them either, I will see what I can find on latest settings emails..
THIS IS UNREAL CHECK THIS OUT: (BIG TYPE IS ME, IM NOT SHOUTING
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network. OK LOOKS FINE SO FAR..
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
THEN THEY SAY THIS DIRECTLY BELOW!! :
We do not have the Pay and Go GSM WAP settings for your O2 Xda IIs.
SO WHAT WAS ALL THAT LAST INFO ABOUT??? ABSOLUTE JOKERS!
THEN SAYS THIS DIRECTLY AFTER??
Please find below the generic GSM settings for your phone. You may enter these settings to see " if " the services work.

THEY TELL ME TO CONNECT TO THE PREVIOUSE SETTINGS WE HAVE BOTH TRIED A WEEK OR SO AGO, WELL SINCE 22 OCT! Sad
I HAVE A DATASUPPORT EMAIL ITS: [email protected]
UPDATE 28-11-2005 :: I have emailed the above details to them and a link to this thread, I hope O2 techies can resolve this problem soon.
God help us all.
Here we go again..
My Reply from, O2 DATA SUPPORT TEAM.. O2 XDA IIs / 2s
From looking at the settings you have below, they would seem generic
settings and not totally applicable to the XDA, I have placed both GPRS
WAP and GSM WAP over Pay and Go below which will get you connected to
the WAP services.
What I would mention is that over WAP we offer this is a WAP service,
but on the XDA you can add an extra port number so in theory you can use
web over wap, for this I have placed extra details below. (note this
isn't supported by us but we have found it to work).
The reason you won't have been able to go to a wap site is that the
settings you have below don't advise you where to enter the proxy
server, which is the part that directs you on to the internet.
To make the XDA choose a particular connection over another, you will
need to go into start, connections, connections, under My Work Network
tap manage existing connections. Within hear, if you have GPRS WAP and
GSM WAP, you can put a dot next to the connection you wish to use, and
this will prioritise itself over the other.
If you have any further queries regarding the devices, do not hesitate
to write again.
Regards,
Paul

I'm not going to try this until O2 have paid me enough CASH in compensation as My FREE MINUTES, TEXT & CWAP awarded to me as Compensation for the last cockups they made have all been discontinued as from last night before I could even use them!! :evil: , so that I can go on Holiday and RECOVER!! and when I return, then, maybe then i'll try this, when I have calmed DOWN!!
I have been going to Anxiety Management for the last year due to a traumatic experience, O2 have put me back to square one!
and thats no joke.
I am now going to www.holymoly.co.uk/cc and posting to C#NTSCORNER!! regarding O2.. because they are without doubt the biggest bunch of C#NTS! I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH!! - British Telecom and BT are already in there I wonder why?

Hello everyone,
Got my Touch Pro yesterday, first impressions were good but I just realised that there is no way to get my exchange to sync through 3G (or even GPRS).
I'm with 1and1, my parameters are fine (they work on my Vario III with the same SIM card). I'm with T-mobile (I know the 3G reception is not good on the TP, I had to switch to 2G to avoid getting cut off during a call, but I get 4 bars from my desk in a loft, so that shouldn't be a problem!).
I tried the default t-mobile parameters setup by the touch, and I tried to configure the connection manually with the parameters that work well with my Vario III:
APN: general.t-mobile.uk
User name: user or nothing (instead of T-mobile)
Password: pass or nothing
Still a no go. I get the same error message:
Activesync cannot reach the server. Check that the server address and proxy server settings are correct.
Support code: 0x80072F78
I've called 1and1 and they say they support WinMo6.1.
Anyone with T-mobile able to sync an exchange account on 3G/GPRS?
Would you mind sharing parameters?
I could live with the Touch Pro with 2G until they release a better rom/radio, but I can't live without push email/exchange!
By the way, there is no problem with the server itself or the exchange parameters, it synchronizes fine on wifi, so it looks like it's a touch pro (works on Vario III), winmo6.1 (works on Winmo 6.0) or t-mobile (works on wifi) issue!
Thanks for your help!
PS: before you ask, I did a hard reset to make sure there is no problem with third party software, this is after a hard reset...

Use the settings the connection manager applies automatically....untick the proxy server and you should be good to go, i also am on tmobile UK, same settings and use an exchange server. The proxy has been messing which alot of stuff recently, im sure theyve changed something on it since this happened on my Hermes aswell.
Perhaps flash the newer radio onto your Raph....update to HardSPL first then flash Radio 1.02.25.31 to your device from the wiki pages. Read everything to the letter and ul be fine.

Not yet, trying to get the basics to work first. Used to do this with my Vario III (BT PAN) and was very happy with it. I'm hoping it will be faster with the TP.
Forgive me if I'm being think, but the radio you mentionned is listed as coming form Cingular in the wiki. Will it work with UK T-mob, and will it improve the 3G reception issue?

Ive had some improvment with the reception yes, calls dont seem to drop as much, it works fine with tmobile.
it is possible.
Hi, I got a pro, use it on the dutch tmob netwerk, both G and H work fine with the (free) mail2web exchange service.
t-mobile uses standard proxy to bring webpages faster .. unfortionatly it doesnt map all other ports so youtube and such wont work either.. it keeps trying to connect when one plays a video. since it is not neccesary to have a proxyserver it is best practice to turn it off.

Hi MrVanx!
I've tried to setup my BT Pan as usual with my Vaio TZ11, and although the pairing and setup goes fine, when I try to connect I get a "connection is denied" error. Does the BT PAN work out of the box on the TP or do you need a tweak like on the Kaiser?
Sorry I'm afraid this was a "RTFM" case...
As the internet sharing option has disappeared from the comm manager, I assumed the connection was automatic...
Of course you need to launch internet sharing and select BT PAN...
It works great, I get 400-500kbps down and 300-400kbps down, 130-140ms ping. Far from my home broadband, but still good enough.
I tried with my Vario III, I get about the same results (with 3 bars on HSDPA on Kaiser, 4 on TP).
So two questions now:
1) Do you get better performance with T-Mobile UK on the Touch Pro (I'm in Salisbury)
2) Any way to bring Internet Sharing back to comm manager?
This worked for me
Man I wasted 30mins - had already read this post before I ordered and forgotten. XDA dev is the best!

Hi everyone, I have a HD2 running Windows Phone 7 but I am having problems and I want to check with anyone on Giffgaff if they have the same problems.
I have my phone setup correctly and all the bars have been lifted by Giffgaff, my email works, I can watch Youtube fine and I can surf without fine and I can remote desktop to servers at work.
But the problem I have is I cant use XBox live and I cant download anything from the marketplace (I can browse the marketplace fine) I just get the dots across the top of the screen then after a minute or two it says there is a problem and to try later.
If I connect via WiFi then everything is fine and if I pop in my old Orange sim card and configure accordingly that works also. So I know there is nothing wrong my my Live account or my phone its something to do with Giffgaff.
So does anyone here have a WP7 phone on Giffgaff? does everything work for you?? I have tried on the Giffgaff forums but no luck. You guys are my last hope.
Thanks in advance.
Hi mate,
I have an Omnia 7 with a GiffGaff SIM in the phone and its running fine. Not sure why it wouldn't work on your considering you've got browsing and youtube working.
Anything you need me to check, give us a shout.
Cheers
Jas
Thanks Jazzyuk, did yours work straight off? did you have to configure Giffgaff manually and did you have to get anything changed on your account?
I ask because at first I could not access the marketplace at all and when Giffgaff lifted the adult bar I can browse the marketplace but not purchase anything. XBox live has never worked for me.
Thanks again.
Hi mate,
I didn't have to do anything related to my account. I got the giffgaff sim on Wednesday, put it in my phone, setup the APN details on the phone and it worked from there. Didn't have to do anything else.
Sorry not much help other than that...
Jas
Ok thanks for your help
you have to activate your phone
wp7 licence is bounded to the device. hd2 wp7 emulates hd7. you have to call microsoft to get it activated. live services needs this activation. it does not have anything to do with your sim.
its a port and basically you are using illegal copy of wp7. you need to call microsoft to activate the phone. how to do this? use the search button or just browse the hd2 wp7 forum.
p/s: in my country, calling to activate will not work anymore because they are asking you to bring your phone over - so no dice there.
I have activated with Microsoft (twice I did not keep the code first time) and as mentioned via WiFi or Orange everything is fine and tried with different roms which is why I was looking at my operator as I have eliminated practically everything else.
But thanks anyway
Just in case anyone else is following this thread, I flashed one of the new NoDo HD2 roms and everything works
Thanks for everyone who helped.

Here I found the solution: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-gb/howto/wp7/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq.aspx
I hope it will help future WP7.5 users and giffgaffers!
Add the apn settings manually, that worked for me
Copied from the GiffGaff pages...
Connection Name: giffgaff - GPRS
APN - Access Point Name: giffgaff.com
Proxy Server Address: 193.113.200.195
Proxy Port:8080
Login - Username: giffgaff
Password: password
MCC: 234
MNC: 10
Open settings, mobile network then add apn and fill in what you can, also make sure the adult bar has been removed from your account.
Same problem here, new to GiffGaff and can't download any apps. Can browse to them but just hangs installing.
Only thing I haven't done yet is remove the adult bar as the web page doesn't appear to be working.
What is ''Giffgaff'' ?
Giffgaff is a new mobile operator in the UK (check my sig)
Get the adult bar removed and make sure you have the apn settings correct

GiffGaff is one of the UK's newest and best sounding PAYG network around. However, it isn't worth anyones time or money. The service is constantly messing up, I have had several weekends over the 9 months with them were I couldn't call in or out and couldn't send receive text messages, I get text messages coming through at random hours, literally days after they were sent. My girlfriend is on it too, we once tried to make a call from my phone to hers in the same room and it kept going to her answer phone. '3' offer essentially the same thing as their £10 deal for £15, and I was more than happy to fork over an extra £5 a month for a network that worked properly.
GiffGaff is good for kids, but for an adult who uses it as a business number also? Not in the slightest. Their customer service consists of a forum (one of the reasons they can be cheaper) where people spam you with the same reply and tell you that you are wrong because theirs is working fine ¬¬ it was one massive nightmare. I'd strongly suggest everyone stays away from their crap.
Not wanting to take away from Siksik6 problem but here's my twopece worth.
Ive been on Orange, Vodaphone, O2 and Virgin mobile and out of all of them Giffgaff has worked the best.
I had no connectivity one weekend in November last year but that transpired to be an O2 issue and it was just data only. Calls and txt were fine and the few times I have used the forums for help I have always got help from other members.
I personally would recommend Giffgaff to anyone

This is the problem with the network.
People are so quick to get £5 through a refferal sim (they pay you through paypal to tell other it is a good network and get them to order a sim from your link) that they are willing to pretend it's "better" than any other network. I'd believe you if you said it was a good network, but better? in what ways? the 3G isn't even as fast as O2's!
I seriously suggest everyone go take a long at the mess of a 'customer service' forum there before even considering going there (every single thread is a mess of 20 things saying the same thing, people telling new members they are wrong and that the service isn't bad and is 98% total illiterate gibberish)
You know what a proper mobile networks forum has? Hardly anything because they don't constantly have problems from everything from sign up to complete phone blackouts.
And yes, sorry to steal the thread, but people shouldn't believe it is good. £5 more on any other network for the same deal will seriously do you more good. If you have problems you press a button and sort it out.
