Stick your head out the window? :lol:


I haven't used it before, but go have a look at Vodacom4me
Free registration is required. EVERYTHING on Vodacom goes via these pages - your call balances as well.

Look under news & info - weather is there.

Been there, they just show it on the website... :-( they dont provide a code where yu can put in your info-message display settings...on your phone...
I googled this...

This is what i am looking for,
Cell Broadcast
While Short Message Service (SMS) can be configured as a personal service, Cell Broadcast is a general service which is designed for subscribers of a specific cell or topic. For example, a subscriber to cell 050 in England will receive information on the GSM tower currently being used by their phone. This new concept brings a whole new meaning to the term mobile communications as the phone is now able to receive information such as share prices or weather updates without the need of data cards and computers. At present the following message types exist (note: this may vary from carrier to carrier and some carriers may charge for this service):


Code Title
000 Index
010 Flashes
020 Hospitals
022 Doctors
024 Pharmacy
030 Long Distant Road Reports
032 Local Road Reports
034 Taxis
040 Weather
050 District
052 Network Information
054 Operator Services
056 Directory Inquiries (national)
057 Directory Inquiries (international)
058 Customer Care (national)
059 Customer Care (international)

NOKIA 6234 Proxy settings

Post by garp »

Hi all

I have a friend overseas who is trying to setup the internet settings on their Nokia 6234. I have given them the settings that worked on the one phone, however they can't seem to find the "Proxy settings page" on the 6234. Can anyone point me in the direction on how to get to these on that phone.

Thanks

I know ;) I managed to get the settings off the vodafone website (for some reason, they expect you to put them in manually...No OTA) Just for some more info.. there 2 phones, a Nokia 6120c and a Nokia 6234. I managed get him through setting up his own phone and that works now with internet (mxit), however his brothers 6234 is a problem because they can't find where to enter the settings I found. I really just need someone with the same phone to tell me where to go. like Menu - settings - ... :P

Hold down * 3 and green phone and turn the phone on while kepping those buttons pressed. Release when it asks for the Pin. Voila

Hi All...

I have a Nokia 6234.

A certain someone tried to update the firmware and got denied.

Now it won't update. Ever.

So I figured, let me try reset it, then update. But it won't accept my security code.

So...

1) Does anyone know how to force my phone to update its firmware (Whenever I try to update, it says its on the latest firmware, when it isn't).

2) Would anyone know how to reset the phone?

Doing this:
Hold down * 3 and green phone and turn the phone on while kepping those buttons pressed.
Does not work.

Thanks so much!

[Hopes for the best]

That trick will only work for the new Symbian phones (S60 V2 fp2 and upwards iirc)

Code: Select all

*#7370#
That should work


@Riax: the nokia is the most powerful one there, even tho its a bit old.

Lost cellnumber

Post by SoulBlade »

Hi Guys

This Saterday I managed to lose my cellphone. It's was an MTN prepaid phone.
I just decided to move over to Vodacom. Is there anyway to retrieve my old numer although I don't have the sim?
Since it's an MTN number will Vodacom be able to do it?

Thx

Delayed reply FTW :lol: :lol:
You probably gonna have to get a SIM swap from MTN, and then port your number over to Vodacom. Otherwise see what Vodacom can do, but afaik if you have SIM insurance MTN can give you a new SIM with your numbers on and all

Is there anyway to download large files, like a 700mb file, using my cell phone, without the use of my pc (cell as modem for pc).
I have a SonyErricson W910i with a 4GB memory card.

Doubtful, though I wouldn't anyway. If it drops the connection, the phone is not going to be able to resume form the dropped point, so will do the whole thing again.

Rather just use a PC?
