Question
Hi I just purchased a cect online and am very pleased with the phone. My only issue is that I cannot send mms or connect to the internet because it keeps saying gprs not activated. When I went under the settings menu, I thought I activated the gprs to always be active. Can you help me?

Thanks

Answer
Hello Wallace,

The phone you purchased is an unlocked phone and it is not configured to the At&t network that is why you can not use the internet feature on the phone and you can not receive pictures or videos on the phone. Here are the settings for the phone if you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.

Email will not work with any server that requires smtp authentication (which is pretty much all of them here)

There is no java in the browser. Forget it. There is also no java loader so there is no downloading java games. Copying them to the SD card won't work either. No java loader so the file will be unrecognized.

Wap services like gmail, yahoo email and wap based instant messagers work fine. Make sure you have a good unlimited feature so you do not incur overages from over using your new toy.
