Just purchased a C3 phone, moved my old sim over to it, called SO and got the 2 months of free data. Received the text from them to say it is activated.

Now this is where I get stuck. If I try to use Opera or check my email or do any sort of browsing, it asks if I want to connect to WLAN or G Internet. Obviously I don't want the WLAN right now, so I pick G Internet. It gives me "Connection Failed. Unable to connect. Please review your network settings."

I'm lost. I would appreciate it if anyone could walk me through this. I read the manual and can't figure out what I do for network settings. I guess I sort of thought it would just be setup already and work.

Ok, never mind. Turned it off and then back on and it did the trick. Not sure why I didn't think of that earlier. Would have saved me some headache.

My Phone keeps doing this. I have to turn it off and back on once or twice a day. I also have an issue with the mail app. Some times it only downloads the header but not the email it self.

I find if it is only downloading the email header, select options and Refresh, this will download the emails. Then select the email and the body of the email should be there. Let is finish downloading everything before selecting the email. Mine shows a checkmark when done.

Thanks for the email tip. That seems to work for me.
