Solved: How do I change internet settings on Huawei E5573B...

Paul56 · ‎31-07-2018

Evening.

Nothing urgent, just need a little help please.

Bought a Huawei Mobile E5573B from O2 last week. Not contract, pay and go

Bought a £40/12gb simcard and all seems okay, suprised myself by setting it up with my laptop and tablet.

Only problems are, 1), can't connect to some Internet sites or pages, and would like advise, in as simple terms as possible, on how to change the settings, and 2), the device says I have a email message but I have no idea how to find or open it.

As I say, not urgent,but would like help.

TIA,

Paul.
