Debranding & Rebranding K850i mobile

cindyhove

I have ported a mobile number from T Mobile to 3 on a SE K850i handset.
the phones settings are, of course, all programmed in by T Mobile.
Can someone explain to me how I change the WAP settings to enable me to get 3 instead of the now dead T Mobile web?
Thanks

That should then be you sorted.

just bear in mind that the above options are for the k800i, so some of the menu options may be different.

also, change the link with k800 in it to k850

Thanks so much for trying but those settings are so different from mine that I can't follow it!

they may not work properly for non-3 phones. they didnt on my debranded k810.

however, it may be different for the k850 as it uses the db3150 platform (with newer software) compared to my db2020 k810
