We're constantly adding more phones to this list, so please check here regularly.
If your phone isn't on the list, you will still have O2 Active.
What is O2 Active?
O2 Active is the best of the net at your fingertips. You can use it to access mobile versions of all your favourite sites, like Napster, Facebook, MySpace and the BBC. It's also your gateway to the latest Movie and TV listings and the hottest celebrity gossip from Heat, Glamour and GQ. You can even use it to send and receive emails or personalise your phone with thousands of the freshest ringtones, polys and wallpapers around. O2 Active is all yours and it’s all here - so make the most of it.
How do I get it?
Mobile internet is available on a number of high end phones, whilst most other phones offer O2 Active. Once you know your phone is capable, open the browser by pressing the right shortcut key from the phone's home screen (labelled 'O2' or 'O2 Active'), or by going into the phone's main menu and pressing 'Web', 'O2', or 'O2 Active'.
How much does it cost?
If you're a Pay Monthly customer and you joined O2 or upgraded since the start of 2008, you're on our Web Daily tariff - this means you'll never pay more than £1 a day.
If you're on Pay & Go, you're charged depending on how much data you use, at £3 per MB.
*If you think you'll use mobile internet or O2 Active a lot, especially for things like watching videos, we recommend our Web Bolt On. You get unlimited usage for both, as well as mobile email, for £7.50 a month.
Safety, Control and Access
We respect our customers' freedom to choose what material they access. But equally, we want to protect children from seeing things they shouldn't. So our approach to controlling access is strict.
