Question
I saw on your site that you answered this lady's question about the LG Chocolate KG800 from overseas and how to make it work on AT&T.  I had the same problem and was able to make it work with AT&T with all its features.  However, I am now selling it and I am trying to get it to work with T-mobile.  When I put in the T-mobile card I can call and text fine but the Browser and MMS don't work.  Do you know what the APN settings are for the browser? And everytime I find the MMS settings so I can send picture messaging it is always something like : 123.45.677.mms/server, but the phone won't let me enter letters, just numbers. PLEASE HELP!!

Answer
To use this device with T-Mobile, you have to program T-Mobile's MMS and WAP settings. If you go to T-Mobile's web site and do a search for WAP settings or MMS settings, you should be able to get the proper settings. You can also search for any LG phone when looking for the settings because it will be the same programming as with any other LG phone. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN.
