    They didn't come. I left it for a couple of hours then rang them using the number on their website. They said it can take up to 24hrs but she put it on for me.

    Aaagh! I've spent an hour going through various foreign departments and now they're shut until tomorrow.

    I guess I'll have to try then.

    You know how you unlock the phone. If you drag it the wrong way it will silence the phone. Make sure you haven't done that first, if you have the speaker picture will be red. To unsilence it drag it the opposite way you would to unlock it iyswim :)

    Or press the volume button at the top of the right side of your phone.

  • Hi,

    Not sure if these are still available but before I try to order please can anyone help with a few questions:

    1. Will I be able to unlock this phone to use with a Giff Gaff (or other SIM)?

    2. Would be interested in using it as a car SatNav, should it work okay for this? Noticed the page says you only get a "one month" trial of the SatNav. Is there a free download SatNav app which works well?

    3. Am I correct in understanding that you get the 6 months free internet even if you don't keep topping up after the first £10 top up?

    4. Sorry to be dim(!) but never used wi-fi hotspots before - how do you connect to these and is it completely free, do doesn't use your topup credit?

    Thx in advance.

    Hi,

    Not sure if these are still available but before I try to order please can anyone help with a few questions:

    Never tried unlocking and found the satnav terrible prefer google maps so won't answer those 2.

    3. Am I correct in understanding that you get the 6 months free internet even if you don't keep topping up after the first £10 top up?

    Yes I have and the credit is still there months in

    4. Sorry to be dim(!) but never used wi-fi hotspots before - how do you connect to these and is it completely free, do doesn't use your topup credit?

    You set the phone to tell you when there are networks available and it switches to these when in range some times you have to connect to them. It uses my home network when at home and I was using the virgin rail one last weekend on the train. It must have been using them and not the t-mobile network itself as I could not get a mobile connection for data (said 3g but because of number of users could not get a connection) in centre of London. I also connected to my sons network when in his flat that required a passwprd so I knew it was connected to that and the speed improved.

    Just make sure you are using a free connection not a paid for one but these have paywalls in front of them before you connect free ones do not.

    I have yet to use any of my credit with all the time it has been connected to the free net deal, used a £ when it was not connected to that when I did not know I had to set it up!

    New phone arrived at 9 this morning rest of day is my own!
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.
  • Hi, i wondering if anyone can help me. I have not been able to download any apps, it is stuck on starting download. Also, does anyone know the number to call to get free internet? I have been charged around £2 already, not cool! Thanks in advance.
