I just brought a new mobile,and need some help with it.Could anyone put me in touch with a Thai in the Pattaya(or Bangkok) area who is a wizard at this sort of thing.

I keep getting stuck when I have to call support numbers for settings.

ah barkeep?

would you like to post the model you have?

if you got a new fandangled machine you can do heaps

What are you trying to set up ?

Its an ericssonK700i,its only been out a few weeks,and nobody in orange seems to know the settings for internet browsing,and to use the phone as a modom for my PC,laptop.

A friend of mine is a techie and he just

bought that phone. PM or email me and

I'll get you in touch with him.

Hi -- go to this URL http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&...ate=ps3&zone=ps and select the K700i product. Then, it will step you through asking your country, provider, bearer type...and phone number. Then it should send your WAP and EMAIL settings to your phone as an SMS.

I haven't tried this, but it is "supposed" to work.

Good luck

Thanks I have PMed you.

Yes I have tried that one already twice,but never received the text,so I had to call the support center.That when I started to get in a mess.

I am going to Si Racha today,the orange shop there is supposed to be very good.

Go to any of the millions of mobile phone shops in Thailand and ask them to call the operator helpdesk (AIS, DTAC or whatever you use) to get the settings updated. If the first shop doesn't know, try another, God knows there are enough of them around...

Its not as simple as that,its a new modle,and non of the supports are familiar with it,the orange shop in Si Racha has had it for over two hours trying to sort it out.I'm still waiting now.

looks cool mate.

if it is symbian OS you can do heaps.(doesn t say on the spec sheet, though all the new sonyericssons seem to be symbian OS 7 )

there are several different internet browsers out there (opera and netfront)

a few good movie players ( smartmovie especially)

games galore both symbian and java

just realised your phone does not take a memory card....limits your fun

Just called SE,does not support Opera,will try the other one,thanks

K700 uses the same configuration settings for GPRS and MMS as SE T610.Just call the orange customer service and ask them to send u the GPRS and MMS automatic configuration settings of T610.They will send u the settings,just save them on your K700.

Regarding using K700 as Bluetooth GPRS modem,you just search google for Keywords such as K700 modem,K700 connecting blue tooth modem,Just use your common sense and you will able to find my website explaining the ways K700 can be used as a wirless modem for connecting any external device such as your PDA,notebook or even desktop computer.

Sorry,not mine website,I meant many websites explaining the K700 modem settings.Just to add,K700 is not a symbian phone,it just supports Java applications.So you can't use opera on it,Opera just can be used on Symbian Phones such as SE P800,P900 or Nokia 7610 6600 3650 7650.

Thanks,I am now connected with orange,but it seems a very basic browser in the phone,text only.

I just tried to change to AIS,but after putting in the new sim card the phone started crashing after about 2/3 minutes,it was ok again when I put the orange sim back in,I really wished a had brought the Nokia 6600,as a friend has that,and it seems a lot better.

Thanks for the advice on using it as a modum,I have all the software,but can't get it to work.

Yes,Nokia 6600 is a lot better,if you wanna browse the real web just as your desktop computer.On K700,u can just use wap,very simple text sites.In order to use your K700 as a modem helping you to connect internet in your notebook or desktop pc,you have to buy a bluetooth USB dongle.Normally costing 1000-1100 Baht.After that you can use your K700 at your wireless bluetooth GPRS modem.and You can connect net in your notebook virtually anywhere in thailand.

regarding you changing SIMS from orange to AIS.Orange and AIS are 2 different operators,so different settings of GPRS and MMS.If you changed SIM from orange to ais,and still wanting to browse WAP pages,you need to call AIS and ask them to send you their automatic configurator settings for SET610.Just follow the same procedure like u did with orange.Your phone crashes coz it's got GPRS MMS settings of orange and u tryin' to access them from a different operator's SIM.YOU NEED SEPARATE GPRS MMS SETTINGS FOR AIS.Once u got the settings,your phone won't crash.

Although the phone has many gadgets,I'm really disappointed in the browser,Its much the same as my 5 year old phone i would have thought a new model would be the same as Nokias 6600.It was really the browser that i wanted to free me up from the PC,I should have done more research.

Thanks,I guessed that might be the reason for the crash,it ok when I have orange sim in.
