I had the same problem as you mate, one shop said they had no "hand me down" simcards left...

the other store said "by giving you a iphone simcard mate, you'll have the internet free for a year!".....

i just bought one from ebay in the end, was £3.50, if you have no luck at your local stores, let me know and i'll give you the sellers id

Nice one guys, spot on!

when you finished putting the settings in did you make sure it was your default connection?

**thelace** · 18th July, 2009, 09:51 AM

yes i made it the default connection.
just cant seem to see where im going wrong

**dasteph** · 18th July, 2009, 10:30 AM

the settings i put in the connection manager seem to differ to those in yours mine are-

name-iphone

num- *99***1#

user name-payandgo

pass-password

apn-payandgo.o2.co.uk

with the other settings as stated.

**-Hox-** · 18th July, 2009, 12:06 PM

I just set it up on a PC in my workshop, and all I did was name it iPhone (doesn't matter what you call it), and put the number as *99#, with the user and pass being "payandgo" - all other settings were on auto detect as normal - Works fine!

I don't know what the difference is, but the number I entered on my laptop was *99***1# - which also works fine?!

**thelace** · 18th July, 2009, 04:46 PM

i tried the settings from hox first with the *99***1# dial number which said i was connected but wouldnt let me open any web pages but then changed the dial number to *99# and this now works. very slow though i must say. have used mobile broadband before and was much quicker. possibly just the signal.
one last thing though. my modem is flashing red led. it states this is active data transfer in roaming status.
would this be because of poor signal as i notice the blue led refers to the 3g connection. sorry if this all sounds a little thick.
but top marks to all the brains behind this scheme

Hi, newby here

I went to an O2 shop and they gave me a SIM described as "IPhone-pre SIM and Bolt on" on the receipt (Part number 5038262010890). I added £10 top up to it at the shop. Is tis the right SIM? They said something about having to top it up £10 every month in order to gain web access. Is this right?

Thanks in advance
