Does anyone know any PAYT sim cards that will give free access to GPRS (that I can use with a GPRS data card)?

Vodafone PAYG is permanently free to browse - I've spent ages on news, sport, music charts, ringtone previews etc. and it doesn't charge you a penny until you buy something (like a tone or graphic!)

Only Vodafone Live! is free.

External sites are still chargeable at 0.73p per Kb or 0.1p per Kb in the case of Vodafone Mail, Chat and IM.

o2 Online Payg gives you 1MB of free GPRS each month and they also offer an excellent value GPRS/Mobile Web Bolt On, which offers 5MB for £4.00, much cheaper then the other networks.

You can find Orange GPRS settings here.

MMS ones here, should you need them as well.

Still doesnt work.

I have even gone on the Orange website and they have sent me the update thing for my phone.

Is there an actualy network problem with Orange at the moment because i am unable to register on there website at the moment as well?

Thanks
