How to set up GPRS for O2 uk?

I would like to use Fishtext on my phone with O2 pay & Go. I do receive settings from O2, but still my phone is not able to send messages with fishtext. What can I do? I tried both a nokia 6300 and a N73. I especially would like my 6300 to work.

I'm in the Netherlands by the way, no idea if that matters.

First make sure you can actually use GPRS with the settings you have. If you can, then try to figure out what fishtext is not working.

Fishtext is a Java-midlet. First of all Java-midlets often cannot communicate through WAP proxies, so you should try using a internet APN, which offers direct http-connections.
Secondly you must define in your phone, which APN to use for Java-midlets. In my Nokia N95 this is made under System/Settings/Connection/Packet Data
