o2 WAP settings

o2 Online offers WAP access via dialup or GPRS. In mid-2003, o2 launched "o2
Active", a WAP service that offers messaging, chat, news, sport, games, a search engine and an entertainment service. O2 online customers qualify for an inclusive GPRS WAP allowance on most tariffs. This page provides some basic information, plus the settings needed to connect to o2 WAP.

To get WAP access, you need the following:

1. An O2
   online SIM card (which gives you free text messages and an inclusive GPRS WAP allowance)
2. A mobile phone with a built-in modem (such as a Nokia 6100, Nokia 8310, Nokia 5210, Ericsson T68, Siemens S45, Siemens S25i or
   Ericsson R320)

You can also connect with a PDA or communicator. See below for setup instructions.

Problems?

The most common
reason for failure to connect to a Wap service, is that your SIM card
may not be "data enabled". Check with your network operator to ensure
that your SIM allows data calls as well as voice calls. There’s normally
no charge for data-enabling a SIM.

Some other things to consider:

• If you’re finding that you can’t
  access Internet or email over o2, but you can access WAP, it’s probable
  that you’re trying to access a service that you’re not supposed to –
  WAP access is provided by o2 for access to online WAP content. For access
  to other Internet services, o2 prefer you to use Mobile
  Web, their GPRS data service.
• If connecting
  from a PDA over infrared to a mobile phone, ensure that the phone’s
  Infrared is switched on, and check the
• distance (ideally
  between 5 – 15cm… too close may swamp the IR eye), and that there’s
  a clear line of sight.
• Under some
  cases, we’ve seen "Page not found" messages when trying to
  connect to the http://wap.o2.co.uk/ address. We’ve been able to resolve
  this by using a slightly different address, wsp://wap.o2.co.uk
  of you’re having problems this could be worth a try.
• There are two
  dialup access numbers for o2. The short code number of 915000 and the
  full number 07712927927. If you can’t connect, try the alternative number.
  If you’re connecting in from outside the UK, don’t forget the international
  prefix, i.e. +447712927927
