Hi,

So i just got an iPhone 3G 16GB. I inserted my SIM Card and got a txt message from QTel saying that my phone cannot accept the settings and that i should call QTel...

Fair enough - So i call QTEL to get the settings and enter them manually but they dont know the steps to enter them...

Can someone pls pls pls help as i cannot even send text messages. I think its coz i havent entered the Message Centre Number but i've looked everywhere and cant find where i'm suppose to enter this. Also checked in the manual to no avail.

PLS PLS PLS...

Cheers!

It is not locked,

as long as it got signal and you made / receive calls this mean it is unlocked.

you just need the settings for sms which are:

Message Center : +9745589955

character encoding: Reduced support

Message validity: Maximum time

Message sent as: Text

Prefered connection: GSM/UMTS

Mmmm... I can make and receive calls and can also receive sms's but cant send sms's - could this still mean that it is locked? The shop i bought it from did tell me they unlocked it when i bought it...

You have to unlock your IPhone, so that you can use with Q-Tel Network...

Call me 6025877

you can send text msg and receive also.

the setting the Qtel sends you normally on a cell phone are of Mobi net and moziac and they dont have the setting for Iphones means you cant send or receive multimedia messages.

So you can setup your emails on iphone and use them for sending songs or pic through wifi connection no edge. if you ue edge that will be costly.so enjoy surfing. i got both 2g and 3g and am using them smoothly i dont need any qtel seting for that. its better without it too.
