O2 prepay WAP/GPRS expensive?

TYCO · 24-01-2009, 11:34

There is either something wrong with my phone settings or O2 have really put up their prices since I last used it.

For example I just went on for 2 minutes to download a new theme from nokia.com and it cost me nearly £4. I remember an incident a few weeks ago when I downloaded a game and it said you pay£3 for the game and you don't pay for the kb's but the whole procedure of logging on to the website finding a game and downloading it cost me in total like £8, so that was £5 worth of browsing.

Can anyone tell me the right settings I should have? I;m using an o2 prepay nokia 6300. Do you think it could be anything to do with the fact that my sim and number used to be on contract?

Hi I think its because you left the o2 gprs area and it redirected you to Nokias own services which are normally really expensive.
