I have a three phone which I got unlocked and am now on O2 - Nokia 6500 slide.
Every time I send a message my phone bleeps back with another message showing my balance. Is there any way to stop it bleeping every time it shows balance ???

    Are you requesting a text balance, or are you being sent one, everytime you text a friend?

    If you want to change the text alert tones, then you will need to look into settings-profiles, should be an option in the menu on the phone.
    Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.

    There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies

    Its set by the network, you need to contact customer services.

    Ring 3 customer services from your mobile - they unlock it while you are on the phone by giving you various things to key in - costs £15. Apparently non of the unlock codes you get online work for these phones.
    Took about 20 mins for them to do it - they actually were quite helpful in talking me through.
    I changed to O2 as all my friends/family are O2 so works out much cheaper for me personally.

    Ring customer services 4445 from mobile or 08705 678678 (https://www.saynoto0870.com ?) from home and ask for them to switch it off. I changed to o2 recently and got them to switch it off today too - so annoying!
