    I bought a new Sony Ericsson K800i off a member of boards the other day, have been delighted with the phone and now 3 have thrown a spanner in the work's.

    It is an O2 phone, but unlocked. I called 3 customer support last night and tried to explain that i would like to set up the mobile for plane three which is their MobWeb.

    ... edit: as it isn't a 3 supplied handset, there is no assistance being offered

    Can they do this? Are the other networks like this in relation to not buying their own locked phone? Also, is it possible to obtain these settings from another source?

    Am I missing something about settings? I just put my 3 sim into an unblocked N95 and it worked. I never entered any settings?

    Thanks guys for the replies! Yeah 3 are a joke, pitty it has taken me a long time to figure that out.

    I'm undecided as to whether install the above mentioned settings or just call head office tomorrow, and give them a piece of my mind and a harsh goodbye, then perhaps switch to Meteor or O2.

    I'm thinking the latter
