Hi all from a newbie to these things.
I just acquired a P900 (on O2, nework unlocked) and since we often go to Italy and I have an Italian PAYG SIM (WIND bought on Italian eBay) I have a couple of questions: 1. will SMS work and what settings do I need to put in for Italian networks (or is the SMS centre number set in the SIM and the phone will know to use it)? 2. The same with GPRS, although getting SMS to work is a higher priority. Any help would be very useful. Best wishes, V. |

Visit www.sonyericsson.com and use the online configurators to get the settings before your trip. |

Thanks for this. So I can just load the GPRS settings off the SE website before I leave (for say WIND prepaid as they call it on the SE site) and then load O2 postpaid on return? Hoping it will be working again? :-) They have a number of settings there, the meaning of which I do not quite get: WAP configurator Email configurator MMS configurator What's what, if you are so kind ... ? Do I just run all? Won't it botch the O2 settings I have in the phone, which sort of works at the moment, being only mine since Thursday ... I know you can't promise me anything, but I know also that the Customer Serice on O2 is not that good. Worried V. |

You juts go into control panel and change the default Data account from "O" GPRS WAP" to "WIND GPRS WAP" or whatevery they are called. > They have a number of settings there, the meaning of which I do not > quite get: > WAP configurator > Email configurator > MMS configurator > > What's what, if you are so kind ... ? Well, er, WAP is for setting up WAP access, Email is for configuring the phones email client and MMS is for setting up Photo Messaging. > Do I just run all? Won't it botch the O2 settings I have in the phone, > which sort of works at the moment, being only mine since Thursday ... No, you'll be fine. The phone can handle many different settings at once. Do em all! > I know you can't promise me anything, but I know also that the > Customer Serice on O2 is not that good. You won't need to invlove them atall. |
