some help with the i600 PLEASE!

[newgirl]

i need URGENT help! i bought the Samsung SGH i600 2 weeks ago and started using the net on there and ever since then, my airtime finished like really fast! i mean like +R10 per day by me only going to check my mail. I know it must have something to do with my settings or maybe its my service provider (vodacom) and the book it came with is TOTALLY uninformative!
ALSO...
when im browsing, it constantly disconnects and doesnt reconnect until i switch the phone off. My D500 worked much better than the i600-in comaprison to the whole GPRS thing and staying connected.
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!

Problem with the Samsung is that they don't include the manual for the phone in the box, you gotta download it. Go to
http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/productsupport/download/
and search for the SGH-i600 and then download the manual (about 1.9MB).

How are you checking your email? With Outlook, Internet Explorer or a downloaded application?

When you are finished checking your mail, press the power button at the top of your phone quickly to display the "Quick List", select Wireless Manager, press the "Menu" button and then select "Disconnect Cellular Data". This closes the data connection and ensures there are no extra bytes being sent in the background. Also remember to hold in the "Home" key until the Task Manager opens and then go to your email program and select "Stop". You should do this because very few applications are actually closed when you "exit" them, they are just minimized. (Sorry, I don't know how clued up you are when it comes to Windows Mobile devices, if you know all of this, just ignore it, I'm not trying to insult you).

Does the disconnection problem happen when using the phones built in browser or are you using the phone as a modem (connecting it to a PC)? Bluetooth or USB? My i600 has not done this before, however some apps have caused it to "freeze".

I have a cellC contract and have not had high data bills, so might be a Vodacom issue, i know of someone who's bundles were messed up at Vodacom and ended up paying R2/meg instead of having the data "charged" to his bundle.

Also make sure that the data connection you use is a "pay per meg" connection and not a "pay per minute" connection.

Hope this helps. Let me know if it does (or doesn't). Cheers

Sorry, the link above won't return search results when you try to search for the SGH-i600 so rather use the "Select you model, step by step" section, select: Phones->Mobile phones->Mobile Phones->SGH-i600 then download the manual.
