With the recent completion of my 12 month contract wih O2, I decided to try to get a better data tariff for my Himalaya.
Best O2 could manage - 50mins talk, 200sms, 11Mb gprs for £24pm on a 12 month contract.
Vodafone - 200mins talk and 1000sms (or equivalent amount of mms / gprs) That's equivalent to 50Mb of gprs usage!!! And, it only has a 1 month cancellation period.
I sure hope I'm not missing something, because the SIM is already on its way!
Has vodaphone said that the smsi are equivalent to to GPRS? That's a really good package, 50mb of gprs. Is it all for £24 as well? ex vat?
V
The Vodafone rep specifically told me that 20sms = 1Megabyte data, and I was quite specific about the fact I wanted a good data tariff on my XDA2 for browsing, email, etc... and as the call was recorded.. it *should* work out OK.
This is great! Means I can use traffic update on Tomtom as much as I want. Might even buy a Backpack so I can email images from my Canon 300d. 8)
The guy was really very persistant though, I have to say. I'm sure these call centre guys must get some SAS training in interogation. Had its plus side though, he made a point of sifting through the available phone numbers until I got one I liked :lol:
Not sure about inc/exc VAT, but in my limted experience of mobile companies to date, quoted prices are inclusive.
I can't understand how an SMS would be 50KB. I was under the impression each SMS would be around 256 bytes - hence the 160 character limit.
I know, the sums were flying through my head faster than treacle up a shovel when I was on the phone to vodafone
But at the end of the day, 50Mb is 50Mb, and £25 is £25. So, as long as I can genuinely use 50Mb of gprs in any given month for £25 (plus, use 250 minutes of talk-time), then wayhey! Let's see if i can make Vodafone introduce a 'fair usage' policy! :evil:
Yeah O2 suck. I unlocked my Orange M2000 (Blue Angel) and they won't give me any GPRS Pay and Go settings that will work, I have tried everything. Orange are now offering the same tariff I am on with o2 with 300 free texts, 1mb free GPRS when you top up £10 a month. They also offer a free Sim Card if you apply before Wednesday and free calls to Orange customers for 5 years. Is anybody on this tariff with Orange? Would you recommend me trying it? Do you think I will be able to access GPRS even though I am on Pay as you go?
Many Thanks.

@ Waddington..Have you tried all this?
I take it you've been through all this??(below) I just got 2 free sims from O2, 100minutes free to any mobile, 1MB GPRS (on pay n go), 100 free texts or mix n match what you want.
O2 Xda IIs GPRS WAP Pay and Go settings:
Make sure that when entering 'O2' into the settings that the letter 'O' is selected and not a zero.
It is not possible to select the 'Prepaid' option within Tools > Connections in the O2 Active UI on the Xda IIs - 'Postpaid' is selected as default and cannot be changed.
To use the Xda IIs with an O2 Pay and Go SIM the WAP settings will need to be changed manually. Note that it will not be necessary to carry out a hard (full) reset in order to complete this.
Important: Once the WAP settings have been changed, if a hard reset is carried out at some future point, then the settings will automatically be re-configured back to Postpaid and they will need to be manually changed again.
Note: Only WAP services are possible with a Pay and Go SIM. For services that need a web connection (web browsing, POP3, MSN Messenger), a Pay Monthly SIM would be required.

Hi, Yeah I have tried all of that. A number of times. I managed to get my PDA to say connecting but then it says disconnected. It’s a shame really because I really like O2 but not being able to access GPRS on this mobile especially because it’s a PDA is not good. I will defiantly keep my O2 Sim card just in case they give support for GPRS on the blue angel sometime. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!
There may still be hope..
@Waddington..There may still be hope. Register with www.simalert.com They email you the second they get any FREE SIMS deals, from VODA, ORANGE, O2, T-MOBILE etc. I just got 2x O2 Pay n Go Sims for free, 10pound topups , 100 free texts , 100free minutes to any mobile, 1MB free GPRS downloads, plus your 10pounds of calls. O2 should REALY treat there Pay n Go customers equaly as Contract customers :roll:
The O2 XDA 2's is a high end piece of kit, and a good sale for O2.
It's only fair that O2 should treat us with more respect and service.
Seeing how these new Pay n Go sims support GPRS, and O2 should be helping you out with your Sim. Is it an XDA issue or a Sim issue?
If its a SIM issue then they should send you a new one with your exiting number, it's no big deal to them, it's just a few keystrokes to them. And you pay them at least 10pounds every month plus Bolt-Ons.
A simcard must cost O2, 0.002p to mass produce. good luck! :wink:

Thanks Daz but I have been on the I-Mate site and could not register as I have an O2 XDA serial number etc.. Also I tried everyhting Waddington did and I can't connect either I'm sending O2 this thread, may they hang there heads in shame! Orange do a good new sim dont they? I've orderd one and it was FREE. To O2 : You know what you can do with O2. :wink:
Now on Vodafone
Update... received vodafone sim (day later than expected, but hey), but it wouldn't register on the network.
3 calls later to customer services (twice cut off) and it transpired that the phone number didn't match the sim. Fixed, but now with a phone number consisting of random digits (not the 'magic' number I had been promised).
Few days later, I receive sms messages for someone else. Another call to customer services reveals that someone at vodafone has inadvertently entered my sim number into this other person's account. So, had to collect a new sim from the local vodafone shop and call customer services to activate it. However, did get a months free line rental and free number change (now have a decent number).
Just as well I'm in a good mood this week!
Vodaphone, O2, Jokers!
OMG! they are all as bad as each other, employing staff fresh out of Burger King!!! No wonder they make so many mistakes.. I just got a FREE Voda Sim , do I dare try topping it up? I think not after reading that last post.
I have some of them new O2 GPRS enabled (or so called GPRS enabled) sims. I think I will email O2 again and see what kind of automated reply I get. with all these cards looks like I have a pack of JOKERS!! OK gang it's time to FLAME ON! i'm gonna email the crap out of O2 until I get some service! because of the NON SERVICE OF GPRS originaly offered to me and Waddington etc etc :: [email protected] - has anyone got the cutomercare email address for VODAPHONE? ORANGE? this would be helpful as I can't afford to phone them.
21-11-05 COMPLAINT TO O2 MANAGEMENT.
TO: [email protected] ("DIRECTOR" OF O2 CUSTOMER SERVICE)
Dear Sir/Madam, I am absolutly disgusted that your company can't figure out a way to make the O2-XDA-lls WAP work properly, so many other people with the same problem now get this pre-made message saying that "The O2 XDA 2s can't be WAP enabled to Pay as You Go sim", and thats after you put us through all the previouse setup instructions that takes ages knowing that it wont work anyay!. All that so you can offer us MMS messages which no one uses!. And the tarrif includes WAP access and or 1MB of WEB SURFING on my Newer Sims, and these wont work either! This is a flagrant breach of your terms and conditions. And trying to make it alright by offering us MMS messgaes? well I dont want MMS messages , AND THEY DONT WORK ANYWAY even if I did want them! and I DONT.
O2 should hang there heads in shame! at the total disrespect of Pay n Go Customers! treated like third class citizens after buying High End Flagship O2 XDA PDA phone..
I NEED WAP or GPRS ACCESS!. I suggest that your Management look at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=183547#183547
And this one..

flame O2 DIRECTOR CUSTOMER SERVICE: [email protected]
This has been a terrible experience O2!
Dear Viveck (director O2 customer service), I awoke to find my "G" symbol stating that GPRS is now setup? so I tryed to connect and it said It was connected, great I thought. So I tried connect to a WAPSITE , nothing, I tryed to connect to several other WAP WEBSITES, nothing, AND I'm getting charged for it! I recieved a message form O2 to say TopUp or loose your allowance, so I topped up just earlier, and got nothing in return! my number is 07*********, I have just recieved another text message, its saying My TopUp is taking longer than expected??? and we are sorry for the inconvenience??? what is going on?? I have still not recieved my topup.
This is completely unacceptable, I would like some kind of compensation for the complete incompetance and run around i've had with O2's lack of service.
The reply from my last complaint from O2:
Currently you are subscribed to the free allowances of 300 text messages and 300 WAP minutes and you will be "charged" to access WAP via GPRS.
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network.
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can someone tell me how to connect using GSM?? As O2 have failed to tell me how. I seem to recognise the above +447712927927 I'm sure thats the one thats always been in my sim settings. any help would be appreciated. I have had no reply from Viveck Dev. good grief
This might work, but I'm not gaurunteeing anything..
From O2 : Re: No free WAP and or GPRS.
A) Your mobile number 07********* has a free allowance bundle of 300 text messages and 300 GSM WAP minutes. This is why you are charged for accessing GPRS WAP.
I request that you immediately call 2425 free or text 'ONMSG' to 21300 to change your free 300 GSM WAP minutes to 1 Mb GPRS WAP.
Your Anniversary date is the **nd of every month.
B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07******** in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been reactivated.
"ACTUALY I DID TOPUP AT 10.A.M. I RECIEVED MY TOPUP AT ABOUT 1PM"
Please let us know which top-up method was used. E-TOPUP WAS USED
I ASKED FOR SOME COMPENSATION:
C) You are eligible for a free Joining Treat AND an O2 Treat.
Please click the links given below for more details:

O2s unbelievable incompetance.
MR.****** ***** 07********* SCOLIOSIS SUFFERER WITH NO LANDLINE PHONE. THIS IS MY LIFE LINE.
Dear Sir / Madam, I topped up at approximatly 9.30 AM on the 22nd of November after getting a reminder text from O2 that very morning, PLEASE enable my text and WAP as I am being charged again I have done everything you said to the letter and still I'm getting charged, There was a delay from O2 adding my credit due to a problem with O2 not me. I recieved 3 text messages saying "we are sorry for the inCONvenience etc..."
YOU SAY:
>B) I cannot find any top-up attempt for your mobile number 07*********
>in the last 30 days. This is why your free allowance bundle has not been
>reactivated.
THIS IS BECAUSE THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH O2, NOT ME. I HAVE A RECEIPT TO PROOVE THAT I TOPPED UP ON THE MORNING OF THE 22nd NOV, IF YOU WANT A COPY PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I have also reluctantly made the GPRS changes from GSM WAP to GPRS at 1MB
that you have told me to do, I will wait another day and try it. I dont expect it to work, even though I've spent ages along with many other people trying to make our XDA phones to work at www.xda-developers.com ,
QUESTION: Can you tell me the correct "connection settings" for FREE 1-MB GPRS from an O2-XDA-2s-PDA-PHONE? as the last ones didn't work.
RE: XDA-DEVELOPERS Sorry for multiple posts BUT this may help some of you complain and get some kind of compensation.
o2 and net connection
OK team reading the thread I m not too sure what service is availiable through o2 .
I have an Alpine ( XDA 11i) and use a number of sims . I only use the P A U G sim for net access and limit my self to £10.00 per month , which at their rates of £ 2.35Mb is almost nothing , but it works .
In the past I have also been able to connect to the net on the 927 no but not at GPRS speed ( cellular line , not cellular line GPRS), at a real catapillar speed . Now this wont work at all and I get a no modem at this No dialoge box !!! . however , if you dial the No on a normal phone and listen there clearly is digital traffic ( ie a modem ) .
Any thoughts
Astro1
I still need correct settings , I CAN get GPRS to connect but NOTHING surfs up at all WAP and WWW. sites. I choose 50 minutes to any mobile, then they sent me a text saying I have the free minutes everymonth till 23 02 06 - I guess its better than nothing (FOR NOW!), BUT my problems havn't been resolved like you I still can't surf up anything, I wonder am I only supposed to Surf WAP sites via GPRS, all the sites I tried said The Page Is Unavialable,yeh right so Google Mobile is unavailable?? I think not. Plus I own a few domains and it can't find them either, I will see what I can find on latest settings emails..
THIS IS UNREAL CHECK THIS OUT: (BIG TYPE IS ME, IM NOT SHOUTING
Please connect to WAP using the GSM network. OK LOOKS FINE SO FAR..
The only free WAP calls we offer are those made via the dial-up numbers of 915000 or +447712927927, otherwise your WAP connection will be chargeable as a cross network call.
THEN THEY SAY THIS DIRECTLY BELOW!! :
We do not have the Pay and Go GSM WAP settings for your O2 Xda IIs.
SO WHAT WAS ALL THAT LAST INFO ABOUT??? ABSOLUTE JOKERS!
THEN SAYS THIS DIRECTLY AFTER??
Please find below the generic GSM settings for your phone. You may enter these settings to see " if " the services work.

I HAVE A DATASUPPORT EMAIL ITS: [email protected]
UPDATE 28-11-2005 :: I have emailed the above details to them and a link to this thread, I hope O2 techies can resolve this problem soon.
God help us all.
Here we go again..
My Reply from, O2 DATA SUPPORT TEAM.. O2 XDA IIs / 2s
From looking at the settings you have below, they would seem generic
settings and not totally applicable to the XDA, I have placed both GPRS
WAP and GSM WAP over Pay and Go below which will get you connected to
the WAP services.
What I would mention is that over WAP we offer this is a WAP service,
but on the XDA you can add an extra port number so in theory you can use
web over wap, for this I have placed extra details below. (note this
isn't supported by us but we have found it to work).
The reason you won't have been able to go to a wap site is that the
settings you have below don't advise you where to enter the proxy
server, which is the part that directs you on to the internet.
To make the XDA choose a particular connection over another, you will
need to go into start, connections, connections, under My Work Network
tap manage existing connections. Within hear, if you have GPRS WAP and
GSM WAP, you can put a dot next to the connection you wish to use, and
this will prioritise itself over the other.
If you have any further queries regarding the devices, do not hesitate
to write again.
Regards,
Paul

I'm not going to try this until O2 have paid me enough CASH in compensation as My FREE MINUTES, TEXT & CWAP awarded to me as Compensation for the last cockups they made have all been discontinued as from last night before I could even use them!! :evil: , so that I can go on Holiday and RECOVER!! and when I return, then, maybe then i'll try this, when I have calmed DOWN!!
I have been going to Anxiety Management for the last year due to a traumatic experience, O2 have put me back to square one!
and thats no joke.
I am now going to www.holymoly.co.uk/cc and posting to C#NTSCORNER!! regarding O2.. because they are without doubt the biggest bunch of C#NTS! I HAVE EVER HAD TO DEAL WITH!! - British Telecom and BT are already in there I wonder why?

Hi guys,
I have the Palm 750v unlocked with my T-mobile sim in. I have setup the Internet connection etc but the new MMS/SMS package sets up different and I cannot set up MMS .
Need someone who knows the password for T-mobile UK MMS
Anyone with any idea , even if you copy down the vodafone settings that would give me a guide of what is different.
Cheers
moved to treo section
Try this works for me
Thanks Chrisboy
Have you managed to get the device to send an MMS?
I havent tried to be honest but i did with my Tytn and it didnt work, i assumed it had to be switched on by Tmobile
Chris
mms I can't get working currently.
A network error (0x150) has occurred.
First things does anyone know where the automatic settings are linked too?
They must link back to a file in the registry or maybe in the windows file.
manual settings I have tried (same settings that work on my tytn still no luck)
The menu settings are different to the ones on my TyTN.
Menu,Options,Advanced
auto / manual
select manual then edit
If anyone gets it working on tmobile please post.
Thanks
speed tests are fantastic currently getting 1.1 megabits per second.

Is that on your Tytn or the 750V ???
Treo 750v chrissyboy6969. I love the device.
Dude how do you get 1.1mb/s on the device, HSDPA is not enabled the most i can get is 300kb/s
Not enabled a thing just did a speed test on the device and I am getting over 1mb always best so far is 1.1mb tmobile uk sim card. I know the phone doesn'y have wifi but I can live with these speeds over GPRS.
Very strange, i am on tmobile and i had the tytn before this and my speeds were around the same with the tytn but with this i can only get 300kb/s do you have the vodafone standard rom as well and what do you use to test the speed
Thanks
Chris
Guys Paul at Modaco sent me this . Its from the registery I guess the Vodafone part is hard set into the registry.
I have tried this and it doesn't work . If I open it with Notepad the Tmobile settings seem wrong . Is it simply just entering the correct values and you are done?
Treo 750 Clear MMS Settings
Today just got an "unlocked" Treo 750v (Vodafone Version).
The MMS settings are buried in the registry. Cannot get to them via typical set up options.
There is no way I can replace Cingular MMS settings with Tmobile (My carrier).
If I go and make change manually, the changes do not take effect. The next time I reboot/restart phone these settings disappear.
I have found registry import files in different forums, but none seem to make change properly.
Any ideas?
Yea , it seems an issue and it does come from within the reg. I have to date no none fix . Maybe some of the other more techy guys could help on the other forums.
I received my unlocked Treo750v yesterday.
So far I have been successfull in getting everything working except MMS messages.
Currently, I have aquired what I believe to be all the necessary information in order to send T-Mobile USA MMSs:
Message Center Number: +12063130004
Email Center Number: 500
MMS Gateway address: 216.155.165.050
MMS URL: http://216.155.165.050/servlets/mms
Network Profile: Default
Some people have stated they were unable to get these settings to stay after restarting their phone. I am not experiencing that problem. The closest I can get to reproducing that error is that when i turn off the cell capabilities, the Message Center Number disappears. However the correct number reappears when I turn the cell functions back on.
I've taken a brief look at the reg file in T_Mobile_750v.zip

Network Profile - Tmobile GPRS
I use the same profile as my GPRS Internet but some people just add one under connections called Picture Messaging or something along them lines.
I took a look at the registry file and changed it and got everything working but when you restart the phone settings default to the original ones which cause message to stop send and receiving.
I also took some pictures of some speed tests as I am getting over 1mb speeds.
I am so happy with my Treo 750v it was a good buy everything that I want is now working. more pictures in my next post.
Tried what yo have and still sits there at 10%
Can you put some screen shots up of your network settings
I am visiting Australia for 3 months this summer and was hoping to use my TP2 with a Virgin Mobile Australia SIM card for voice and data. From searching the forum it looks as if I am going to need some setting for data access, and possible to disable CMGuardian.
When I have used my UK Orange or Italian TIM SIM in my Motorola Razr under Tools I see some SIM specific menu items for checking credit, recharging etc. Will I see the same things in the TP2 once it make a connection?
I would appreciate any suggestions for anybody who has used a GSM SIM for data access.
Thanks
No you need to contact the provider and find out the settings for data
GSM Overseas settings
Now in Australia, I have had to adjust several settings and I want to pass on what I learned. After inserting the Virgin Mobile SIM, don't forget to switch to GSM only. There are some CDMA services in Australia and you don't want to roam onto them or you will be paying the Sprint Roaming rates. The Virgin SIM did not show up as an icon under settings and tools the way that other SIM cards have.
I found my phone worked as a phone, GPS worked and it would go on the internet thru Opera. However, at first it would not access my email and required me to dial local calls in Australia as if they were long distance.
I found I needed to change the Global Smart Dialing settings which can be found under Phone, Menu, Global Smart Dialing (need to scroll down to see this option on the Menu). Change the "dialing from" to the correct number required before country code. So for Australia, where you dial 00 before the country code when dialing out internationally, selecting Australia will change the 011 (used when dialing from the USA) to 00.
Next I needed to change the dialing rules. Go to Start, Settings, Menu, All Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced Tab, Dialing Rules. I ticked the box for "use dialing rules", and edited the rules for Mobile, Work and Home to use the Australia country code of 61 and blanked the area code. I think I could have got the same result by editing the dialing pattern for local calls to remove the E and the F so that local calls did not have the country code or area code prefixed to them.
To fix the Email issue, I had to go to my email accounts by going to the Inbox, Menu, Tools, Options and tapping on each email setup in turn. Once in an email setup, select "Edit Account Settings" and tap Next 4 times to get to Advanced Server Settings. Here there is a drop down list of Network connections. I had to change mine from "The Internet" to VirginGPRS.
NOTE: Have not had a chance to try this, but probably the easier way to fix the email issue is to go to Start, Settings, Connections, Connections, Advanced tab and under Programs that automatically......should connect using "VirginGPRS" or whatever service you are using.
At this point I have phone calls, local SMS, internet and email working. I still have a problem with international SMS.
I am sure somebody understands this better than me and perhaps their is a more elegant way of doing this, but at least it worked.
I have quite a few questions some hidden settings I found while using ANYcut app.
My phone is the Epic 4G and on Gingerbread leak EH17 if that matters.
1) MSL code. I did some google searches and found that is an algorithm to determine the ESP and other things. What is the algorithm? If a phone had a bad ESP could you change the MSL to make Sprint think there is a clean ESP?
2) Cell broadcast SMS. What is this? And what is it for? some of the settings are Emergency broadcast, administrative, maintenance, local weather, area traffic reports
general news:
local
regional
national
international
And those same options for other types of news also
3) Data Create. I think this one is self explanatory. But is this for the maximum number of each I can store on the phone before it deletes them. So if i set the maximum number of texts in my inbox to 500, that is the maximum I can store?
4) Dial up networking. I thought this was going to be the 3G but I was wrong. What is it? I turn it on and click on the connection settings but nothing happens why?
5) Dock settings. Its obvious. But I herd that you can connect your phone to the a computer via USB and have it act as a dock and play songs or videos through the speakers on your computer. Is this true?
6) DUN. It has a picture of a computer with 2 green arrows. And 2 progress like bars, labeled, RX and TX. Any ideas? I was thinking it might have to do with USB activity.
7) EVDO settings??? I am on the Sprint network. Why would they not opt this options out of there SDKs? Isnt EVDO T-Mobile network? But I am on a leaked build so maybe they haven't removed it yet?
8) Preconfig? I really not sure what this is. It says sales code and then an input field. And at the bottom a button that says install and one for cancel. What would this be for?
9) License settings. most of the options are obvious but there is one for expiry reminder. whats that? reminds you when your DRM content is going to expire?
10) MMS Provision Settings. some settings are transaction logs, optional field attendance, UA string, UAP url, and test modes. Anyone know what this is for?
11) Now one that is just called advanced. Some options are home orig. vocoder. homepage vocoder, roam orig. vocoder. whats this for?
12) USB Logging(DM) One section is Function, with the options of, enable and disable. And other section called Type. the options are CP only, AP only, CP+AP. No idea about this one
13) WiMAX CT. there is a button at the top that says open device. then options of max num of used FA, FA Index, BW, FA index. Are these settings for WiMAX networking?
14) WiMAX Mode Change. The options are, SDIO, WTM, DM, USB, Auth modes. What are these different modes and what do they do?
15) WiMAX LineTest. Optioins are, write eeprom, power on, power off, write mac with and input field, and read mac. any ideas??
16) Work mode. it says Work Mode :2 and then a button that says set work mode. and i can set it to 1, 2 or 3. what are these different modes for?
Bump - Anybody want to jump in and help the op?
Wow, with all the brilliant minds on here no takers? Or is the question too big for anyone to take a stab at?
First off, as someone who somehow burnt out my 4G chip, I would suggest that anyone reading this be very careful, search here and google before fiddling with settings. lol
Since I am doing research to see if I can get my Wimax to work better I will answer a couple of questions a day, however anyone feel free to jump in.
1) MSL code. I did some google searches and found that is an algorithm to determine the ESP and other things. What is the algorithm? If a phone had a bad ESP could you change the MSL to make Sprint think there is a clean ESP?
The MSL code or (Master Subsidy Lock) is how a phone carrier keeps the phone from going to another network, however some phones including the E4GT can be found through using Android Debug Bridge (adb) a command line tool that lets you communicate with an emulator instance or connected Android-powered device - or even easier just go to the market and download, for free, Get My MSL which will display your Master Subsidy Lock code.
2) Cell broadcast SMS. What is this? And what is it for? some of the settings are Emergency broadcast, administrative, maintenance, local weather, area traffic reports general news:localregionalnationalinternationalAnd those same options for other types of news also
According to Wikipedia:
Quote:
Cell Broadcast is not as affected by traffic load; therefore, it may be usable during a disaster when load spikes tend to crash networks, as the 7 July 2005 London bombings showed. Another example was during the Tsunami catastrophe in Asia. Dialog GSM, an operator in Sri Lanka was able to provide ongoing emergency information to its subscribers, to warn of incoming waves, to give news updates, to direct people to supply and distribution centres, and even to arrange donation collections using Celltick's Cell Broadcast Center, based on Cell Broadcast Technology.
All for today. Peace
Hello. I have a problem with my phone, which i did not faced before on other Windows Mobile devices (this is my firs 6.5 one).
Samsung Customer support, lighlty saying, did not helped me redirecting me to my carrier, which i do know is not faulty.
So, when phone have established 3G data connection (neverthless is it internet or mms) i cannot send text messages. Phone acts like there is no range or number was invalid.
When i switch band from WCDMA to GSM, full duplex works like charm. In my opinion i've paid (it's second hand device, but who cares) for fully featured phone and switching band does not solve my problem (in my place only WCDMA works, on GSM band voice calls are choppy and signal still gets lost).
I would me more that gratefull is someone can help me with this strange problem. Phone is used in Polish network Play Mobile (260 04), is sim unlocked (don't know was is locked at all earlier).
What i've done: i've changed sim card to other provider (T-Mobile), did hard reset, upgraded to latest ROM (upgrade_tool_for_sph-i350_ver.1.4.1.0), and lurked in registry searching 3g-, data-, duplex- related keys and values.
Someone faced similiar problem in this device or system?
edit. After checking some settings on SGH-i600 i've found that there's setting to change SMS sending method. It's called 'Send SMS Option' in Connections,and it has 'Network seletion' (not selection ;p) with options 'PS preferred' and 'CS preferred'. In my opinion it's Nokia's coresponding option 'sms over GPRS', which makes on Nokia device to send messages faster.
Anyways, changing this option to PS changes value in HKLM/Comm/Cellular/SMS/Router/ServiceOption from 4 to 8. Changing this value on target device (i350) does make smses not to send at all, regardless if data connection is on or off.
