To use Mobile Web you will need...
A subscription to a Mobile Web tariff.
Any of the following PDA devices:
Pocket PC: Windows
®
powered Pocket PC – CE 3.0 or Pocket PC 2002 (Service Pack1). 400KB free disk space.
Palm
Handheld: Operating System 4.0.
100KB free disk space. Palm
Handhelds are not supplied with a web browser – this must be downloaded (for more information visit www.o2.co.uk/ mobileweb). Please note that not all browsers are supported for use on Mobile Web
Any of the following GPRS phones:
Ericsson T39 Ericsson T68 Ericsson R520 Nokia 6310 Nokia 6510 Nokia 8310 Siemens S45 Siemens ME45
Before you can access Mobile Web, your PDA will need to be set up so that it can talk to your GPRS phone, and connect to the O
2
network and the Internet. You can do this using the Mobile Web ‘Getting Started’ CD-ROM. Setting up is a simple step by step process.
A copy of the CD-ROM should be included in this pack. If it is not, you can download the latest version from our website – visit: www.o2.co.uk/mobileweb
Items 2 and 3 may be combined into an ‘all in one’ device (with built-in phone) eg. Trium Mondo.
First, connect your PDA to your PC
Following your PDA manufacturer’s instructions, check that your PDA can ‘sync’ with your PC. To ‘sync’ you will need the cable or cradle supplied with your PDA, together with software enabling your PC to talk to your PDA.
You will need to ‘sync’ to transfer Mobile Web settings from the PC to your PDA, and also to download a copy of your PC emails and calendar.

The set-up process is now complete.
Note: If you have an ‘all in one’ Pocket PC (e.g. Trium Mondo) or a Pocket PC with Bluetooth (e.g. Compaq iPAQ
H3870) you should turn to page 28 for an additional step required to set up Mobile Web.
Once you have followed the simple set up instructions you are ready to use Mobile Web.
Connecting
Tap Start, then Programs.
If you have used O2 Mobile Web recently you can simply tap ‘Start’ then the ‘O
2
Icon’ at the top of the start menu without having to go into the Programs folder.
Tap O2 Mobile Web.
Activate: your phone’s infrared port (see pages 31-34), and ensure that it is aligned with the infrared port on your handheld PC/PDA;
or, your PDA and phone Bluetooth ports (see pages 28 and 35). Note: you must have ‘paired’ your Bluetooth phone and Bluetooth handheld PC/PDA first.
Tap Connect.
In a few seconds the connection and Internet Explorer will open – and the O
2
PDA
homepage will appear.
On Pocket PC CE3.0, an ‘O2Mobile Web Email’ wizard will pop up the first time you use Mobile Web. The Wizard lets you create an email service in your inbox, so you can use your inbox to send and receive emails online (see page 9). To set up an email service in your inbox, follow the instructions. If you don't want to do this now, you can do it later. Tap ‘Cancel’.
You can also connect via GSM – if, for example, you are overseas, in a country without GPRS coverage. To do this select O2 Mobile Web (GSM pay per minute) and click Connect. Standard minimum charges apply. Please visit www.o2.co.uk/mobileweb for details of call charges.

De-activate the infrared port on your mobile
phone (see pages 31 - 34).
If the infrared link between your phone and PDA is interrupted, your Internet connection may be dropped. If this happens, close all programs and repeat the steps shown on the previous page to reopen the connection. You may have to reboot your PDA.
Internet-based email
You can access your Internet-based email with Mobile Web. To access, for example, Connectedmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, simply enter the url of your email provider’s site via Mobile Web and ‘log in’ as you normally do.
Work email
It is also possible to send and receive your work email online using Mobile Web, if your workplace supports POP3 or IMAP4. You will need to discuss this with your IT Manager. Your Pocket PC ‘inbox’ can also be used to read and reply to email off-line. You can do this by synchronising it with your PC. Refer to your Pocket PC user guide for more information.
An easier way to use email
Mobile Web lets you create an email service in your Pocket PC’s inbox, and use it to read and send your emails. This avoids having to open your web browser and go to your email provider’s web site each time you want to check mail. It’s a more convenient way of accessing your emails as they are downloaded to your inbox.
To help you set up an email account in your inbox, an Email Wizard (for Pocket PC CE3.0 only) was installed on your Pocket PC during the setup process.
Pocket PC 2002 users should follow the manual set up instructions on the following pages.

If unsuccessful, you will need to contact your ISP for server type and POP3/IMAP4 server name and then follow the instructions below.
The wizard will pop up automatically the first time you use Mobile Web. If your email provider is included on the list, you can follow the on screen instructions to automatically set up a POP3 email 'Service' in your inbox.

For Freeserve, and other POP3 email providers not included in the Wizard, you can manually configure an email account using the instructions set out in the 'Manual setup of POP3 and IMAP4 services' (pages 11 and 12). Please note that there is a separate section for both Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC CE3.0.
You can also access the Email Wizard from the programs menu, Add Email Account.

account from the list displayed, and enter the following information: – Account name – Email address
You can create additional accounts by
ticking: I want to set up more Email accounts.
Add the new name and email address, and
then click Finish.
If you do not wish to set up any further
accounts, click Cancel.

Palm™email
Palm™Handhelds are not supplied with an email application pre-installed. You will need to load an email application such as ‘MultiMail’ (free with the bonus CD provided with every new Palm
Handheld) before you can use an ‘inbox’. Please refer to your Palm user guide for details of the Palm website. http://www.palm.com/software/multimail/ mmpro-faq.html
Internet-based email
You can access your Internet-based email with Mobile Web. To access, for example, Connectedmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc, simply enter the url of your Internet-based email provider’s site via Mobile Web and ‘log in’ as you normally do.
Work email
It is possible to send and receive your work email online using Mobile Web, if your workplace supports POP3 or IMAP4. You will need to discuss this with your IT Manager. MultiMail can also be used to read and reply to email off-line. You can do this by synchronising it with your PC. Refer to your MultiMail user guide for more information.
An easier way to use email
Mobile Web lets you create a new email service in your email application (e.g. MultiMail), and use it to read and send your emails. This avoids having to open your web browser and go to your email provider’s web site each time you want to check mail. It’s a more convenient way of accessing your emails as they are ‘popped’ through to one central place in your inbox.

Mobile Web usage indicator.* Available online for you to access at any stage, your Mobile Web usage indicator will keep you up to speed with your MB allowance – how much you’ve used and what’s remaining. It will also give information about your free inclusive bundle as well as any usage outside your free bundle.

Mobile Web charges are based on the amount of data you send and receive over the O

GPRS network. This may include charges for resent data, and additional information required to control data flow.
To minimise costs – and maximise the speed of data transmission – the total amount of data carried over the network is substantially reduced by intelligent data compression.
Some web sites may attempt to send you information you have not requested. You can press ‘Stop’ at the top of your screen to stop this downloading. You can also turn off ‘cookies’ in your browser’s advanced settings to stop unsolicited information being sent or received while you are online.

charging and data usage
Pay for what you do – not how long it takes
Mobile Web charges are based on the amount of data you send or receive – rather than the amount of time you are connected. Once you’ve downloaded a web page or an email, you can take as long as you like to read it – it won’t cost a penny more.
As your data usage increases you can choose a more suitable tariff at the end of any monthly billing period.
Use your unused MB next month
If you don’t use your inclusive MB allowance in any single month, you can carry over to the following month
. Your rolled over allowance will be used first before you start using the current month’s allowance.
‡ Any surplus data allowance can only be rolled over for one billing month.
You’re in control
There are a two ways you can monitor your usage of Mobile Web.
Mobile Web text message.* No need to wait until your bill arrives to tell where you are with your free MB usage – you can find out beforehand. We’ll alert you with a text message when you’re close to the limit of your inclusive monthly data allowance, and another when you have used it all.

Linking your PDA to your GPRS mobile phone is easy, but first you will need to activate your mobile’s Infrared or Bluetooth port. To make an infrared connection, it is essential that the ports of your PDA and mobile phone are accurately aligned.
Note: We have included information on the phone models recommended for use with Mobile Web. This information is accurate at the time of printing, but you should refer to www.o2.co.uk/mobileweb for the latest information on recommended phones.
Activating your phone’s infrared port
Infrared ports can use a significant amount of battery power. If the infrared port on your mobile does not de-activate automatically (see your mobile’s user guide), we recommend switching the port off, once you have finished using the Mobile Web service.

Can I access my company LAN with Mobile Web?
No, the service does not provide LAN access, unless your company provides Internet access to your LAN. If your company has POP3 or IMAP4 access into your company LAN-based email, you may be able to use Mobile Web to access your email over the Internet. You should ask your company IT Manager whether you have this technology in your company.
O
2
also has a range of services that provide email and LAN access to company systems, including ‘Blackberry’ – a handheld device that gives mobile access to company email and other services. You should talk to your Service Provider about the options available from O
2
to
access LANs on the move. Mobile Web does enable you to have access
to Internet-based email and the full Internet through a range of devices. You can also choose to read and reply to work based email offline.
Need help with Mobile Web?
If you have difficulty connecting to our Mobile Web service, please contact your Service Provider. Alternatively, you’ll find detailed information on setting up your laptop and using the Mobile Web service on our web site.

How much does it cost to send an email?
An email is charged on the basis of how much data you send or receive. You may need to click through a few pages to get to your Internet based inbox, so the amount of data (and therefore cost) will differ depending on the nature of the pages. A typical PC-sized text only email page should take approximately 10KB to download.
How much does it cost to look at a web-page?
Web pages are also charged by the volume of data you send or receive. You may need to click through a few pages to get to the page you want, so the amount of data (and therefore the cost) will differ depending on the nature of the pages. One typical PC­sized page with images should take approximately 35KB to download.
What happens if my PDA loses all its memory?
If, for example, your battery runs out completely, you will have to run through the complete set-up procedure again.
Do I need to have an Internet Service Provider (ISP), to use Mobile Web?
Not at all. O2 is your mobile service provider – though you may wish to continue using your existing ISP for services such as email.
How can I update the O2Mobile Web application when a new version comes out?
Every 30 days your PC will automatically check to see if a newer version, or new handset modem drivers are available. You can choose to run the ‘Auto Update Agent’ when it appears, or click ‘Cancel’. If you choose to proceed the new version or drivers will download and install automatically when you next ‘sync’
How is Mobile Web different from WAP?
Mobile Web gives you access to the full Internet. Using an Internet browser, you can view literally millions of different websites – in full colour – on a PDA or laptop screen. WAP screens enable you to view text-based information, only.
How does surfing the Internet via Mobile Web compare to using GSM?
Because Mobile Web uses our GPRS service and advanced data compression technology, you can expect speeds up to 5 times faster than with GSM. With GPRS, you are only billed for the amount of data you send and receive. So, you pay for what you do, not the amount of time it takes you to do it. In addition, with GPRS, if you are online when someone calls, your phone will still ring and you can take the call. When you’ve finished, you’re immediately back online.
How does surfing the Internet over Mobile Web compare to using High Speed Circuit Switched Data (HSCSD)?
With Mobile Web, you are only billed for the amount of data you send and receive, not the time it takes you. With HSCSD you are charged for all the time you are connected. And with HSCSD, you can’t take voice calls while you’re online.
Why charge per MB and not per minute?
Because, this way, you’re effectively charged for what you do, not the amount of time it takes you to do it. After you have downloaded a web page or email you can take as long as you like to read it – it won’t cost a penny more.
frequently asked questions
What is Mobile Web?
Mobile Web is a new service that enables you to access the full Internet, on the move. You can access any web site, including those you currently visit on your work or home PC. In addition, our special portal designed for PDA users – O
2
PDA homepage – contains a
wide range of handheld PC/PDA-friendly sites.
How does Mobile Web compare to the Internet service I get at home?
Mobile Web is very similar to the Internet experience you get at home
– it’s just more convenient. With the right devices, you can access Mobile Web, whenever and wherever you want.*
† compared to standard PSTN dial-up line * subject to network coverage
How does Mobile Web work?
You can view the Internet on your handheld PC/PDA or laptop using a GPRS device to access the Mobile Web service. You need to subscribe to Mobile Web, and go through a simple once-only set up process before you can use the service. Once you are set up, it takes only seconds to connect to the Internet.
What is GPRS?
GPRS stands for General Packet Radio Service. With much higher data transfer speeds than the GSM service used for voice calls, text messages, and WAP services, GPRS is ideal for mobile Internet access.

Trouble using Mobile Web with Bluetooth?
Bluetooth devices must be ‘paired’ before
they can talk to each other. The steps for pairing are different for each kind of Bluetooth device – for detailed instructions, refer to your phone or PDA user guide.
Make sure that your mobile phone’s
Bluetooth port is activated (see pages 35), and that the Bluetooth port on your handheld PC/PDA is also on.
Power off your phone, and turn it back on
again. This will let your phone reset, and may fix the problem.
Close all applications, then re-boot your
handheld PC/PDA, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Note: do not perform a full reset as this could delete all stored information!
Trouble with Email?
To send or receive POP3 or IMAP4 email, you
will need to have an open Mobile Web connection, and have set up a POP3 or IMAP4 service on your handheld PC/PDA (see pages 9 - 12 for Pocket PC, or pages 19 - 20 for Palm Handhelds).
Your email service provider or IT department
will need to support POP3 or IMAP4 email access. Check with them to make sure.
Still not working?
If none of the previous steps work, try
uninstalling the Mobile Web application from your handheld PC/PDA by following the steps on page 30, and then reinstall.
We hope that these tips have been helpful. If, however, you are still unable to fix your problem, please contact your service provider.
Before you can access the Mobile Web service from your handheld PC/PDA, you will need a subscription.
Have you got the right devices?
Mobile Web is not accessible from all phones
and handheld PC/PDAs. To check whether you have a suitable phone and handheld PC/PDA, visit www.o2.co.uk/mobileweb.
Can’t find the O2 Mobile Web application on your PDA?
Before you can install the O2 Mobile Web
application from the ‘Getting Started’ CD, you must be able to ‘sync’ your handheld PC/PDA with your PC. To set up a ‘sync’ relationship, refer to your PDA manufacturer’s instructions.
Before you can run a ‘sync’ session, your
PDA will need to be in its cradle, or connected to your PC via a cable. The application will only load after a ‘sync’ session has occurred.
The application can be found under start,
programs, O2 Mobile Web on a Pocket PC,
and under the applications menu from home on Palm
Handhelds.
Trouble using Mobile Web with Infrared?
Make sure that your mobile phone’s infrared
port is activated (see pages 31 - 34), and that it is aligned with the infrared port on your handheld PC/PDA.
Power off your phone, and turn it back on
again. This will let your phone reset, and may fix the problem.
Close all applications, then re-boot your
handheld PC/PDA by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Note: do not perform a full reset as this could delete all stored information!
