What was the old phone?

Here's how to get your c5 settings;
•Press Menu, and then select Messaging
•Press Options, and select Settings
•Select Text messages, and then select Message centres
•Select SIM message centre, and then select Message centre number.

change whatever you find in there to tel:+447802000332 and you should be good to go:)

Hi 

have tried disconnect from 02 then back again - no change

have run thru your list back on pressing option there is no option to change message centre

the sim must be ok as works in old phone so must be some setting on the phone itself?

thanks for help so far

Hmm wierd.

Ok where'd you get this other phone from? Is it locked to O2?

got the phone from my wife who had 02 pay monthly
she got from 02 web site on 2 year contract but know has a new phone so i get the old one
dont know if locked or not

Shouldn't be locked I was just wondering if it was for another carrier.

Ok well your both pay monthly so have the same message center number.

Yet phone doesnt recognise the correct one.

Is the software the latest iteration?
