Hi,
I had my trusty Nokia 6100 Stolen and I use an O2 Contract with no line rental ever for life (old BT cellnet).
The only way to replace my phone as I was not insured was to buy a Pay As You Go phone so I chose a Nokia 6230i, it worked out at £120 to buy the handset on pay as you go and £10 to put a new contract SIM in it with my old number. If I bought the same phone SIM free unlocked or direct from O2 to upgrade my existing contract phone it would have been £210.
Anyway I had to have my new 6230i unlocked as I use a Virgin Pay montly SIM for daytime calls when away from home and a Tele2Comviq Sim whilst working in Sweden...
What annoys me now is the O2 branding and features in the phone software I constantly get "non INbox" Text messages on screen bleeping away telling me that "the O2 Service I have selected is unavailable on this network" Even the O2 screen saying "Goodbye thanks for using O2" on shutdown annoys me somewhat.
What I want to know is:
How can I cleanse the phone of the O2 branding, and features? Does anyone out there know how to do this and what would be required?
Anyone out there know anything about this?
All help appreciated
TY
