I have purchased a PAYG Three SIM which I can use in my (unlocked) Sony Ericsson W850i.

I have signed up to the £2.50 per week internet access and have been trying out surfing the internet using my Nokia 770 tablet connected to the w850i via bluetooth.

I've read about there being problems with pop emails but I have read a few threads now so I think I can find a way round this.

I do find though, that the web pages I see on my nokia 770 tablet appear to be all wap style pages - I dont seem to be able to get full web pages that I normally see with my £1 a day browsing with my t mobile or Orange USIMS.

(Note that for orange I use "orangeinternet" as the apn for full internet, they also have an apn for orange wap services)

Is there seperate wap and full internet apn's for three?

Is there any option on 3 PAYG or Pay monthly that will allow me to render full internet pages on nokia 770 internet tablet?

I think that on 3pay all web pages get sent through a proxy that adapts the web pages for mobile viewing (this is also the case with pay monthly if you use the search dialogue on 3s internet page but except for that you do get full internet access on pay monthly). Payg internet access is more restrictive as you can only use your mobiles inbuilt browser (you cant use opera Mini) and most other apps that need to access the internet will not work on payg.
