Hiya, my first post!!

Ok I have got myself an unlocked N70 phone that used to be on Vodaphone I have put my 3 sim in it and this is where the problems start.

I cant get into the 3 web service bit by pressing the swirly button I think I have done the settings but it still wont work, maybe I missed something.

I also cant send or recieve multimedia messages. I did phone up 3 and he went thru some settings but it doesnt seem to have worked

please help
:(

nudge, welcome to Talk3G!

First things first, because it would be silly to put first things second... you've got yourself an unlocked n70 that used to be on Vodafone you say?! Can you tell us all how you managed that? Do you know if Vodafone supplied the unlock code for the handset or if was done by a 3rd party?

As for your 3 settings, if you have a look at this post: https://talk3g.co.uk/showthread.php?t=396&highlight=3+handset+settings

It should help you out, if not let us know and we'll see what we can do :)

Hello nudge, welcome to Talk3G!

In addition to what 3g-g says, if you can install the Nokia PC Suite and hook up the N70 via your USB cable (that should be included) then you can install the Settings Wizard (http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,76742,00.html?model=N70) (thanks to MORPH for reminding me this existed for download).

Settings Wizard is a program that, once on your phone, helps you automatically configure your handset for whatever SIM card you have inserted.

Best of luck.

thats great I will give it a go.

The phone was unlocked thru vodaphone customer services. I phoned them up and said could they do it and they did.

I will let you know!!

[nudge]

ok put the setting wizard on when it asks for country I put UK

now the operator I have:

C&W
JT GSM
Manx Pronto
o2 - UK
Orange
T-mobile
Tesco
Virgin Mobile
Vodaphone UK

and thats it no settings for Three unless one of them is a disguise!!!

:confused:

[Hands0n]

Did you use the Settings Wizard that came on the Nokia CD or did you download the latest and greatest from Nokia's website? http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,76742,00.html?model=N70

Just a thought - and perhaps easier - the Nokia website has a facility to get the settings sent to you via SMS.

Try this link, select what you want, your phone model and Nokia will SMS you the settings http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,77073,00.html

[nudge]

Thankyou for your help but again there is no listing for the 3 Network on that link.:( Every other network on the planet except for 3!!!!

waaaaaaaaaaa :(

[MORPH]

Don't know if this would work....but try taking it to your local Nokia service centre (http://www.nokia.co.uk/nokia/0,,77483,00.html) and see if they will re-flash the handset for you with 3's settings and menus.

[Ben]

How bizzare... even my 6680's settings wizard correctly configures the handset for Three :(

Ok, I think the best solution if you need someone to talk you through the settings is to call Three again. Ask them to walk you through setting up access to Three's services and to Three's MMS.

Alternatively, if you know your way around your mobile, try inputting these settings:

For the web browser:
Access point name: three.co.uk
Homepage http://mobile.three.co.uk/

In MMS:
Data bearer - packet data
Access point name : three.co.uk
Homepage - http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc

Any options not mentioned can be left as no/none or n/a.

[nudge]

Found out the problem so I will post the answer for anyone else.

data bearer packet data
access point name three.co.uk
usname none
password prompt no
authentication normalhomepage http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc

advanced
proxy serv add mms.three.co.uk
port no 8799


I didnt have the advanced settings entered did that works a treat now.

Thankyou for your help, just trying to sort out the Three webpage bit now for downloading free games tones and news etc.

NOT recommended at all. Three hide parts of the network menu on their phones and this could be a problem if you are in a fringe coverage area - your phone will keep dropping calls but with the hidden menu you can switch the phone onto 2G.

[Ben]

Of course you could get around that by using the Field Test software, if needed.

How did you get on with the settings. I also am changing to three using an n70 that was locked to vodafone. I contacted them and they are unlocking thr phone on monday so Ill need to get the settings too.

Hello, welcome to Talk3G!

Apparently the settings below worked fine (posted by nudge):

Let us know how you get on!

[nudge]

yes put those settings in and that works for sending MMS messages. I also have the settings for setting up to the 3 webpage if you want them just let me know

nudge:)

[Ben]

Posting them on this thread would be a big help, nudge, if it's not too much trouble :)

[nudge]

OK this is what I added first of all the MMS settings.

I created an access point for 3 MMS for this

data bearer packet data
access point name three.co.uk
usname none
password prompt no
authentication normalhomepage http://mms.um.three.co.uk:10021/mmsc

Options button then choose advanced:

proxy serv add mms.three.co.uk
port no 8799



THis is the settings that I used for the Triangle button for the 3 webpage

Create a new access point just called 3 for the websettings. Do this as follows to do it

menu> web options> settings> click access point> new access point>
connection name 3
data bearer packet
access point name three.co.uk
homepage http://mobile.three.co.uk/hb/n70/HutchKey

then select that as the access point and that will work for the triangle key or if you just hold down the button 0

This all worked fine for me! Hope it does for you:D

[mindmedic]

those settings worked fine. Thanks. Now if I could just get the email settings I'd be ecstatic:)

[cyberkid999]

Whats wrong with the Nokia Settings Wizard instead of all this manual typing.
It has all the settings you could want for all UK networks plus many others and has all the settings for O2, Orange, T-Mobile, Virgin, Vodafone, Manx Telecom and Three. It also does the email too so cant see what you are all messing about at....its not new either I had it on my 6600....

Is there only me heard of this tool....:D

It's mentioned various places elsewhere, but it seems Three's settings have been removed? SE no longer list Three UK's settings either.

Edit: It was advised earlier in the thread: https://talk3g.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10606&postcount=6

just checked and its def there on mine.... theres nothing in the link you gave about it being removed!

[Ben]

It's there on my 6680's (old) generic version also, I was very impressed when I inserted my 3 USIM and everything just worked without me having to change a thing.

[nudge]

it doesnt have the settings for 3 network, all other networks cept that one!
