    I thought there was no reason for the settings to be different for 3G handsets alright..

    Regarding the goals etc, it might just be something temporary or it could be due to the fact that the handset has not been officially released here yet..



    While you are at it, could you have a look here and add a comment maybe?

    Actually, have you had your account provisioned for the extra services that 3G offers. I know you have ths sim card but a few things need to be added.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭Gangsta
