Any way, I need to guarantee that I’m not connected through ordinary GPRS (not as a fallback for UMTS) and pay 9,27 EUR/MB to O2.
Perhaps call O2 support to get to know if this case is possible at all when having a UMTS PC card and a UMTS SIM card and a UMTS enabled contract. That is: if I have a UMTS PC card and a UMTS SIM card and a “UMTS Standard” and “Surf Option” enabled O2 Genion Card-S-Online contract and GPRS APN is set to surfo2, and set up a GPRS connection, what are the costs? Can they be 0,09 EUR/10KB in any case?
Normally, this is set on per-connection basis by the software that uses the card. It’s e.g. possible in the Vodefone Connection Manager for the Option GT 3G+ card (for download on http://www.mobileconnect.vodafone.com ).
Perhaps there is special Linux software that can make this setting.
Also, it would be a solution to know that the O2 “Surf Option” pricing applies when setting up a GPRS connection (not necessarily fallback from failed UMTS connection), having the GPRS APN set to “surfo2”.
The solution is to use the command: comgt 3G2G
