O2 PAYG internet access downgraded

#1 (**permalink**) 08-31-2007, 03:06 PM

Until recently, I could check my Yahoo mail on my Nokia 6230i just by going
to www.yahoo.co.uk and logging in. Now that has stopped working. I put
this down to new Yahoo security features until I found that other sites have
stopped working too.

I phoned O2 who said that I can't expect anything more in the way of
internet access than what I can get through the O2 Active portal on PAYG.
Whilst I can sort of understand this, it's irksome to have the service
downgraded like this. Anyone else noticed this? Anything I can do about it
other than go on a contract or change service provider?

I have just tried checking my Yahoo mail account using O2 payg with a
Nokia 5140i and it is working fine.

The address I use is http://uk.m.yahoo.com
