I just bought a new phone after spending years with very basic ones (I have a history of breaking things and don't really trust myself with decent ones yet)

Bought one that was locked to tesco, got it unlocked and then found out that 02 don't have the settings for it. Typical.

I've looked at a few other forums and nothing has worked so far, it is a samsung C3530. I would really appreciate any suggestions.

Btw I am useless with technology, please help!

Text ACTIVE to 2020 as it uses the O2 network. This will send you the configurations for your handset. If it's an iPhone then use 1010 (sorry, I realise you don't have an iPhone. This was just my text book answer).

I can see no reason why the settings would not work. Presuming this is a Pay as You Go contract.

Forget to say, after you install the settings. Restart your phone for the settings to be fully initialised.

I would arrange an exchange then as it seems your phone is not fit for purpose.

Make sure you have opened your browser and found options / settings / advance and set your browser to use your new manually installed settings as the default.

 

You should be able to get most devices running with just the apn, username and password (payandgo.o2.co.uk payandgo password).

 

If you are still having issues, just book an appointment with your local O2 guru, I am sure they will be able to get you up and running.

 

Good luck and hopefully you will be up and running shortly.

On Xperia all you have to do is download network settings from the network menu.
