Standard Wap Not Working Anymore

[hardtarget]

My GSM wap has stopped working in the last few days,
i used to use that instead of GPRs as it used to be taken out of my minutes.
Have virgin stopped that wap now or is it just my connection and i need new wap settings?

Its still available, you might need your settings reset.

Try the following:

Call: 789 and select option 0 in the main menu to speak to someone.

Online: www.virginmobile.co.uk/youraccount (http://www.virginmobile.co.uk/youraccount) You can get them to send the settings on there website.

Also the cost of using Virgin Mobile GPRS was reduced on the 23rd June, its now 60% cheaper.

Try the following:


Not doubting you, but are you sure? Virgin resell t-mobile bandwidth, and t-mobile shut down their own WAP service a few days back.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean VM have.

Is it definitely dead already? This article (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/06/11/t_mobile_csd/) reckons it'll still be running until the 9th July.

Not that it helps the OP much - just puts the problem off for a week or so!

That's what I was thinking of... I have to admit, I haven't used a WAP phone since about 2001, so have no way of checking.

Yes it is working at my end.

They have no real reason to shut it down because it could be used as a back up.

I've checked it with the old one2one settings on a t-Mobile sim and it works perfectly fine.

I know i've had a drink,but i'm not imagining it LOL

Btw, T-Mobile CSD Wap is very very expensive!!!!

T-Mobile is harshly expensive.

No the GPRS service is cheap its just £1 per day or £2.50 for 5 days.

Also from 1st July, here are the new prices on T-Mobile:

Mates Rates and Text Appeal:

Calling other T-Mobile phones and UK landlines goes down from 30p per for first 3 minutes of calls each day to 25p per minute. Calls after 3 minutes remain at the usual 5p per minute rate.

No changes to....

Text messaging prices
Free Voicemail on Relax Pay as You Go and Standard plan
Pay as you go everyone 15p per minute call rates
GPRS prices
Customer service prices
40p per minute rates to call 08 numbers

Rather than using Pay as you go everyone, I would suggest using Virgin Mobile Daily Bonus Tariff,benefits are:

15p per minute to call anywhere at anytime even 08 numbers
Free Voicemail
Cheaper minimum call charge
10p to talk to there team
5 minutes of free calls and 5 free texts everyday

Forget that, Virgin Mobile now offer GPRS internet on your phone for a flat fee of 30p and Orange offer free GPRS on the Dolphin pay as you go and Panther Pay Monthly plans.
