GPRS and ringtones - help

[oshta]

ok, im a bit of a mobile noob, but i got a Nokia 6610i with o2 PAYG

- i mate told be if i wanted to get a new ringtone, i could download a .mid, host it on my website, and then type the url into my Wap browser and DL the midi file

- but that didnt work, it just sayed "page could not be found"

- then when i tryed to get onto the o2 Wap homepage, i got the same error "page can not be found"

- and when tryed to DL a game i got "no data bear avalble" or what ever


whats going on, do i some how have to enable my GPRS or something??

It's likely. Your best bet is to give O2 a ring and check whether it's enabled. If it's not then you can ask for it to be enabled, but watch out for how much they charge to use GPRS. I'm on an O2 pay monthly contract and they charge me a whooping £2.35 per MB. You might get a certain allowance free though.

[oshta]

yeah, ok - i'll give them a ring

- i might have anther look on there website as well

[oshta]

Well, i had to go one there site to find a phone number, and while i was looking i had a look tosee if i could save my self a phone call, and after trawling thought the crappy website i managed to fine a FAQ section that linked me too a thing that asked me my service/number/name/etcetc and then sent me a setting message, and after i saved the setting it worked fine

-and i've successfully DL three ringtone off my webspace, and it hasnt ocsted me a penny, dont know why not, but im not aguing - i think it might be free for my first 30days??

anyway, its fixed, thanks anyway

If its o2 PAYG from one of the free sim cards then you get 1mb free gprs anyway. I dont know how much it costs after that.

[Twigman]

1mb free then £2.35 per mb iirc.

[Howard]

Yup. But 1MB is an awful lot of WAP data.

Until you're on contract with Mobile Web ability and you're browsing using a PDA or PC

[oshta]

1mb free then £2.35 per mb iirc.

yeah - i think thats what i sayed

- so far, 3ringtones and 2 walpapers is 0.0MB, lol

[Twigman]

Actually I find i go through the 1mb quite quickly. Its not that much especially when they put pics in etc. Its enough for the average user i spose though.
