My son as broken his Lg U400 that is on a Three £15 675 contract and is not insured


I have taken his Sim and put it into an old K800i 02 contract phone that as been upgraded

As the 02 don't lock their contract phones , or do they ?
It works perfectly

Two questions , will Three or 02 know or care which sim is been used in which phone

And as its an 02 it doesn't have the planet 3 dedicated button to check his balances , is it possible to allocate a key to connect to Planet 3 or any easy way to check balance by dialling a certain number or even dedicating a key to accept this shortcut

It is registered at "My Three" so his balance can be checked online if need be , but he wanted a simpler method without the need for computer access


Thanks

Anyone help ?

[broonale]

Can't help fully as I have an outgoing restriction (til I pay the bill) just now. But I assume you can get online with the phone. If so do a search for my3 (google) and bookmark the site. Mine already had it as a bookmark when I got my phone.

You will need to get the wap and MMS settings sent to your phone from the SE site.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...te=ps1&zone=ps

Or if you phone three they will send them.

This will also set the wap homepage, which is presumably planet 3.

Then it's just a matter of accessing this page, on nokias you just hold down '0' don't know about SE.

In the phone's set up you can presumably sonfigure what some of the buttons do from standby, if you just set one to 'internet' or 'wap' or whatever SE call it that'll work.

Thanks , I followed the link and there is NO option to choose

" Three" from the network selector drop down .

Maybe its because the K 800i is a recent new addition to Three and on the cheap £15 / £20 for life tariffs

Reckon I'll need to contact Three for them to send info to the phone

hi there I dont think 3 will send you the setting but if you search Google for the settings you can put them on yourself,I have just done it with an unlocked,unbranded V3X and everything is working including video calling,planet3 and mms.

The K800i has been available for 12 months on 3!
Mind you, you're absolutley right about if just now hitting the £15 plans.

Have you had any joy yet?

Not yet , I am away from home and the phone until Monday , I will be ringing Three on my return to see if they can help with set up and talking me through it.

I have seen a few google webpages about settings that relate to different phones

The K800i must be only a recent addition to the cheaper three tariffs , if it had been available in May my son would have chosen it , instead he went for the LG U400 , unfortunately.

[coopermanyorks]

I rang Three they are not interested to help

I found some settings on the www for setting up the Samsung Z500

I was wondering if they would be same or similar

these are the settings

Quote:

After hours of playing, I've found settings that work with THREE that allow you access to THREE's services (as if you pressed the Triangle button on a THREE phone) and MMS on THREE with the Z500.

Menu-Settings-Connectivity-Connections
Options-New
Set Name - Three
Access Name - three.co.uk
Auth type - None
Protocol - HTTP
Home URL - http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/vtb/HutchKey
Proxy address - 0.0.0.0
Port - 8799
Linger time - 3000
SAVE

Still in connections:
Options-New
Set Name - Three MMS
Access name - three.co.uk
Auth type - None
Protocol - WAP
Home URL - http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc
Gateway address - 217.171.129.2
Secure connection - Off
Linger time - 3000
SAVE

Menu-Internet-Network Settings
Choose Three from the list

Menu-Messages-Settings-Multimedia message-MMS profiles
Choose Three MMS from the list

Now, when you connect to the Internet from your Z500 you will be presented with Three's Today screen as normal. Choose Go To Services and you will get all Three's services as usual. Note, though, that some pages won't display properly - some banners and images are missing, but the content is still available. Most pages work perfectly OK though. You can now also send and receive MMS and Video messages.

Craig.

Anyone help , before I start messing with settings

I am not bothered about a button for planet 3 just access to mms and www

I can't be the only person to put a 3 Sim into an 02 unlocked phone , can I ?

[alanjrobertson]

Hiya

The URL above is for the SE Corporate site - try this one instead as it's direct to the UK site and it seems to list 3 as a mobile provider.

http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?...s1_1&pid=10407

Let us know how you go.

Cheers

Thanks , sorted he can access internet and send mms now


Is it possible to dedicate a button to planet 3 without three software ?


thanks

[alanjrobertson]

Under the default SE K800i SW the two soft keys under the screen are Calls (L) and Menu (R). There is however a web key on the left of the keypad just below and to the side of the left softkey and above and to the left of the back button (the backwards arrow) - it should by default load the browser and the homepage.

Do you have the standard SE firmware? If it's an O2 one you should do as they're really good at only minimally branding their mobiles (as opposed to the rubbish that many of the others, esp. Orange, put on their phones).

Cheers

Hi
I have an LG KS10 which is a 3g phone.
I have managed to get it to send and receive voice amd video calls on three but cannot get mms or planet 3 up and running.
Can anybody help?

[riaz]

well... i dont beleive you can use planet three from non 3 software handsets. however if you want to check usage why not ring 333 option 1.... thats easier and free also
