Nokia C3 keeps connecting to o2 mobile web

Just purchased a Nokia c3 a few days ago and need some help. Phone was unlocked and currently have an o2 sim card in the phone.I am trying to use the phone for internet access via wi-fi only using my home broadband connection, i have wi-fi enabled but every time i connect using browser it connects me via o2 mobile web and even after a minute or 2 seems to be costing me £1 a day for access,i have tried deleting some settings but it keeps connecting via o2 and not my home network,any help appreciated, i thought there would be a setting to block data access on the phone but i guess that would have been too easy

  • It sounds like it is prioritising your O2 Mobile web over your Wifi - I have this when I get a firmware update from Nokia for my Voda network E72.

    If you go into your "Internet Browser" and into Options > General > Access Point, then you can force it to ask what connection you want everytime you access the Internet browser.

    then go into Menu > Control Panel > Settings > Connection > Destinations > Internet; and youshould find your WIFI connection listed where you can move it to Priority: 1


    Note: These are the steps for the E72 and may vary slightly with your C3 although its a very similar handset.

    Hope this helps.

    The C3 uses a completely different operating system. You want settings>configuration and remove any reference to O2.
  • I stand corrected. Apologies as I thought the C3 was a Symbian handset.
