Go into settings >wireless and networks >mobile networks and find APN's (access point names). Check you have a green dot or a tick next to the O2 internet apn.

Thanks, I've just checked this and I do have a green dot next the the O2 WAP Prepay but when I long press the power button on the side, the Data network mode is still deactivated

It's driving me mad ;o)

When you press the power button on the side you can touch on the data network line to activate it.. It will only show your data connection if wifi is off, BTW.

It doesn't seem to do anything when I touch it !! I simply returns to my home page and then when I press the power button again, it's still deactivated

I've just checked and I don't have WiFi enabled

Any other suggestions... thanks

That should work fine, maybe phone is faulty?

Pretty much everything you can try is on this thread.
Have you worked through everything here carefully....?
Are you contract or PAYG and which apn is active?
