It is slightly different for VM. If you want settings sent to you phone for VM, find the SIM applications on your phone. In there look for the menu to "Request settings". That should trigger the system to send you the settings.

If this explanation is not clear enough or you still have a problem, reply here and I will try and find out the details and sort you out.
 
Nephew could you post the mms settings for windows mobile devices? I got my smartdata working through the Leaf site, but my mms isn't working.

Thanks
 
We send the settings out via our server. If you PM me your number and the IMEI and/or exact device make and model, I will send the settings to you.
 
seriously

Hey

We all know about *141# for balance enquiries and 14302.

whats stopping CellC to make it easy and quick to receive settings?

Vodacom and MTN are light years ahead here... 2 minutes and you have got wap and gprs settings!!! and anyother setting you would like to have with lots of options.

Eish man!

Get the sms menu thingy and all CellC customers will be happier. Because phoning for settings sucks big time :-P
 
Yes, it is not best to have to phone for settings. That is why we are in the final stages of providing a subscriber request via USSD. I will post details here.

B.t.w. Not so sure if VC is ahead. I have been trying for 2 months to get MMS going on a VC sim, no luck :(. Cant request settings from website, down all the time, phoned, no luck.

Just dial *147# and the settings will be sent to your phone, you need to accept them and save them to a slot, default pin is 1234 for the settings.

There 2 settings that come down, one for surfing via the internet APN and another for MMS, once you have them both and saved on your phone turn your phone off and back on again, it is important to reset the phone otherwise you will not be able to use the new settings.

Once it's back on again after a minute or 2 you will get a G or an E on the top right of the screen meeinging that GPRS or EDGE network is available to you.
 
CellC has a big problem . I am in Soweto . When I have complained in the past I have been told that it is because of the reception area ie Siweto . But even in Bedford Gardens I frequently get : Poor signal , no connection to the internet , calls dropped and people complaining I have switched off my phone , when I nevr do .
 
Has anybody gotten CellC mms working on a Palm Treo 680? I got the internet settings working, but mms... No go, tried all manner of settings from here and other forums/webpages...

And if I dail *147#, I get a browser message as a normal sms - that's how Palm OS sees it... Dam...
 
Hi All

We have discontinued the SMS request service detailed at the top of the page. The Cell C network now will automatically identify new handsets joining the network, send out GPRS/MMS settings to the handset and provision data access.

This service can also be manually initiated via USSD by dialing *147# on your handset.

Cheers

I have been a cell c customer for a long time and I have never been able to connect with EDGE. I live in midrand, so I assume that it is available here. I have a SE K800I. Does anyone have some advice? :confused:
 
From your phone key in *147# the press dial. This will activate you and send you the settings. Save it. Switch phone on/off to force a location update. Now try to surf. If you don't come right then PM me.

The service is working but why is connecting on GPRS and not EDGE. This is difficult to pick up as EDGE is an enhancement of GPRS and uses the same infrastructure.

Just wanted to let you know, I found the problem... a Bit embarrassed to say it, but the SE K800I doesn't support EDGE, and that is why it is only connecting to GPRS on Cell C.

Had my sim in a Nokia 6300 and it connected to EDGE, no problem. :-)
 
HOWEVER IF YOU HAVE CHANGED HANDSET AND HAS NOT RECEIVED THE SETTING UPON SWITCH UN, OR AFTER REQUESTING VIA USSD *147#, YOU WILL NEED TO PHONE IN, ALL THEY WILL REQUIRE IS YOUR NEW MAKE, UPDATE ONCE, AND VOILA
