Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / May 2008O2 Genie WAP not working
Hi all, Just wondered, is it just me who the genie wap is not working for at the moment? I do connect, but dont appear to have any dataflowing to view webpages etc. Ive checked settings, dial 915000 geniewap etc and all seem normal. was working ok yesterday evening. thanks > Hi all, > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > thanks Genie WAP !!! It is probably just you still using it > <hunkyla...@yahoo.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > It is probably just you still using it Why would i not want to use it? Its free and i cannot get GPRS with my nice and cheap £10 a month contract.? Any other original genie wap users experiencing a problem? Or any ideas on other numbers to try? Thanks >Why would i not want to use it? >Its free and i cannot get GPRS with my nice and cheap £10 a month >contract.? >Any other original genie wap users experiencing a problem? >Or any ideas on other numbers to try? >Thanks I have a Genie PAYG sim, it's been a long time since I used it but I thought that I originally had 300 mins WAP and then they changed it to 1MB gprs. Of course 1MB gprs is nowhere near as good as 300 mins WAP. What do you get for your tenner a month? regards, IanM > >Why would i not want to use it? >>Its free and i cannot get GPRS with my nice and cheap £10 a month [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > IanM If i remember correctly, the original genie contracts for just £10 had unlimited text and unlimited wap service. These come out before the days of GPRS, hence thats why its not included. Seeing as GPRS and other WAP providers charge like 10p a minute, yes i can see why its important the genie wap is working!

Have you tried the direct GSM dial-up number for wap +447712927927 in place of 915000. Should be charged the same, but not completely sure so be careful, test first then check bill. Sadly there is very little left, of what was Genie these days, officially it doesn’t exist anymore, though I have a jacket with the genie logo on it : - ) which I was sent, plus an old email address, which still works thanks to us & for the many others still out there. I’ve had dealing with them in the past, or what’s left of it now, more involved on the internet portal side, Genie email, dial-up etc. If it involves Genie I’m the man, esp. if you have a U.Genie email account/ problem as I can get them looked into, having access to internal technical contacts. Support which I offer is now the only way as o2 don't support U.Genie email. (Sorry contacts can’t be made public or given out in anyway for obvious reasons). And no I’ve never worked for them or o2. For those that can remember it, I’ve uploaded the old Genie logo here to see: http://www.u.genie.btinternet.co.uk/genielogo.gif -- Dan Support for u.genie.co.uk email & dial-up, visit http://www.u.genie.btinternet.co.uk/ please stop calling it genie!!!!! > please stop calling it genie!!!!! Daz, I think your find it IS called GENIE !! The original GENIE package which come out in 2001, was very popular for only £10 you got unlimited texts and wap ! I had out my genie package paperwork out only today, which was a green style logo and had a booklet with a camper van on it. very flash! There is a photo of the original SIM card here ... http://www.brightmobile.com/pp/Sim_Cards/O2_Genie_300_Free_Text_Sim_Card.html Admittedly, some people do refer to the 300texts per month sims as Genie which is incorrect!, just like brightmobile! Cheers I'm an original genie customer with the £10 deal and my wap also stopped working about 3 days ago, as did my sisters (same deal). Anyone else? >I'm an original genie customer with the £10 deal and my wap also >stopped working about 3 days ago, as did my sisters (same deal). > >Anyone else?
