sony ericsson k750i problem

Hello, i was just wondering if anyone else has come across a problem my wife is having with her phone. on start up her phone (k750i) tries to connect to the internet (the little world icon appears for about 10 seconds) it then disappears without any internet appearing but crucially it takes 14p off her balance.
she doesn't use the internet on her phone and hasn't been on any dodgy websites.
any ideas ?

    has she got any picture messages that its trying to download?

    if not, try deleting the internet settings in settings > connectivity > internet settings > internet profiles > and delete all of the setting that are there.

    if you need to get the settings back, you can use the settings wizard on the SE site to get the settings back
  • Hmm very strange. i deleted everything in the internet settings and switched the phone on. it loaded and a message came up asking "use secondary account" i pressed no and after 20 seconds it asked me again so i pressed yes but it still keeps asking me to use secondary account
    no money was taken though.

    Haven't a clue & I've got a 750i.....ask a teenager would be my suggestion!:D
  • If not already on O2....Get hold of an O2 sim card, insert it and switch on the phone. After a minute or so you will get a couple of texts and then a download of O2 internet settings...when asked if you want to install these settings click yes.
    When finished remove the O2 sim and refit your original sim.

  • Was the phone given to her by a previous owner? If so, check if there are any email accounts set up in the email client. I believe it has an auto-download setting to collect mail, it may be trying to do that.
    If this has been of any use please click on THANKS, it makes me look good.
  • no it hasnt had another owner, well i bought it new from carphone warehouse. i will try to download the o2 settings. its on o2 so i'll try that

    have you tried a settings reset?

    Settings > master reset > settings reset
  • if i do a master reset will all the phone numbers in my contacts be erased.
  • The k750i has two resets- a settings reset and a master reset. Try the settings reset first, and if that doesn't work try the master reset. The settings one prob won't delete contacts, the master one prob will, but don't quote me and make sure you copy them onto the sim either way just to be safe.
