I put my pay monthly 3g sim which has data plan into a iphone 3gs but can only connect to internet via wifi. How do i get it to connect to internet away from my home.

It's because you aren't on an iPhone tariff so your phone needs the standard settings
go to;
Settings - general - network - mobile data network and change the apn at the top to mobile.o2.co.uk and the mms apn to wap.o2.co.uk ( in o2 its a letter o, not a zero).
Change nothing else
Save changes
Restart iPhone.
This will now work.
