Web browser through GPRS

4 replies · 1,886 views · Started 15 March 2004

Is there any free web browsers that will allow me to use GPRS not a dial up account that costs a pound a minute ?

Not free, but all these work with a GPRS Internet Access Point:
Anygraaf Doris
Access NetFront
ReqWireless WebViewer
Opera

Due to the limited amount of memory in the 7650 all of them may not work on it. Try Doris or WebViewer.

Tried Opera and it wouldn't work through O2 PAYG GPRS 😞 Did work through my Virgin dial up though but that was way to expencive 😞

They (the browsers I listed) need a GPRS Internet Access Point & won't work with a GPRS WAP Access Point (except WebViewer).

GPRS Internet Access Point tariffs are usually higher than with WAP Access Points.

Also, some operators/carriers (or specific subscription plans of theirs) may not provide access to any Internet host/server through their WAP Access Point (requiring you to use the more expensive Internet Access Point instead, if they offer that at all).

Ask O2 what their PAYG (whatever that is) Internet Access Point settings are (if they're not on their website).

PAYG is Pay As You Go, you top up your phone with money before you use it, so I probably think there is no other option but WAP access points through the Dial up option 😞 Oh well, i'll have a look at that Webviewer id if had a demo

Thanks
