[Emperor Visari]

Hi guys.

I recently got a Nokia 6500 Slide from Carphone warehouse .I cant get onto the internt .On Access point's it gives me Virgin and T-Mobile. It says my GPRS is on T-Mobile right now so that could be the prob?

Any help would be appreciated

TIA

Not sure what exactly you are asking? You may need to clarify.

Well GPRS is the internet right? When I go to the browser, it says "subscribe to packet data first". Dont know what it means but maybe you guys could help

Yip, have no idea what you're trying to ask here. Clarity: you're in UK...

Do you have gprs and mms access points on your phone?

I have a Nokia N78 and it asks for permission to access packet data, not a specific subscription.

Here's the thing. I bought it in the UK last week. I am now back here on Vodacom. I cant get onto the internet.

Default config setting = T-Mobile??

Preferred access point = Virgin??

I think it has something to do with being bought in the UK

Network locked to T-Mobile?

Can't Vodacom 'unlock' it for you?

Did you try calling Vodacom and asking them to send you the Vodacom settings? It's trying to use the wrong settings, clearly. You can call them, or register the number on the www.vodacom4me.co.za website, and then send the settings directly to your phone from the website itself. Give that a shot and see if it works...

Can you make calls on the phone using the Vodacom sim card?

If you are not going back then maybe you should flash the phone or let Vodacom flash it for you.

Ok thanks guys. I'll give Vodacom a call and ask them.

Cheers

AFAIK the number to call them on is 155...
