paging Burnt, or anyone else who knows about phones

In her defence, I also did this as a child.

No, on second thoughts that really doesn't help her case at all, does
it?

Firstly (as others have probably said) O2 will need to provision the
service.

Secondly, the phone will (probably) need to be configured (to use the
proper access points). An APN (Access Point Number) is basically a
specific connection that's made within the network for Packet Switched
services.

You could have, for example, an APN for the WAP services. This will not
necessarily have direct connection to 'the internet' for your mail
services. I would suggest you got on the phone to your SP (or O2's
customer care) and asked them to provision an APN that gives you
internet access.

This probably helps more...

Peases is for noses and earses, surely.

 

They don't know about calculators in the Forest. The preferred tool is
the abacus, which is surprisingly advanced for them but the alternative
would be to switch to base 12.

 

At a guess, I'd say it's a Sony Ericsson P900, unless the make and model has
already been dsiclosed elsewhere in this thread.

err, yes - OP. Nokia 6600.

SE P900 was considered but ditched on the grounds of being too big and
too expensive.

 

You're rarely camp /on here/.

 

You - you fucker, don't get me started on a tirade about you and your
poxy mobile phone. If you weren't such a lovable moron, I'd hate you.

 

I wouldn't have had you down as a blackmailer.

 

two words: "direct debit".

**** all that buying little scratch cards and having to pay your bill
before you actually make the call.

 

well, that's one of the things that it's for.

 

[snip useful advice]

and thanks, if for nothing else, for using "provision" as a transitive
verb.

Direct debit is one thing, having the money in there is quite another. I
use payment books and Giro slips at the bottom of bills because it gives
you and extra day or twos grace. Sure it's a PITA, but it beats the hell
out of a £25 charge for being a couple of quid short in your bank
account, and if you're using a payment book etc, you can't get clobbered
by the finance company for missing as well.

Credit cards. YKIMS

 

this is nothing to do with not having the money, and all to do with
bad money management.

 

Scratch cards? You're behind the times, man.

Cool. I've only *ever* used it as a phone so digging out the manual and
reading it might be a good thing ;-)

 

well, maybe - it's more the fact, I don't have a PAYG phone, and never
have had one.
