morning all (or not for those who are elsewhere in the world)
I have an O2 orbit with a T-mobile PAYG card and I'm unable to set up call waiting. Whenever I try it just tells me that the settings cannot be saved to the network.
I was wondering if anyone else has a similar set-up and has been able to activate this feature??
I would phone up T-mobile and see if it's possible but I wonder whether they might not help me as I have an O2 branded phone and not their own MDA III.
Well, go through us with your procedures on how you set up the call waiting?
Or, use another phone to set it up, then switch it back. It should be phone indenpendant.
never thought about trying another phone...will have to borrow one and try it.
basically, on the Orbit. if you go to
start
settings
phone
services
then select call waiting and hit get settings you get two options..notify me and don't notify me.
on my phone don't notify me is ticked. If I try to select notify me I get a message that says
Unable to save your changes to the network. Try changing settings later or disconnect data connection and try again.
I've tried it several times already and don't have any data connections active.
but I'll try and borrow another phone and see what happens
Hi,
to answer ur question, call waiting is not supported on any pay as you go (UK), not sure about the rest of the world

Hi guys,
I really hope you can help me here. I have an M2000 which I have unlocked and am running with a VF SIM. All good - calls and SMS working fine. WiFi works fine.
What DOESN'T work fine is connecting to the internet, running msn etc. I have searched multiple sites, changed my settings to what people seem to suggest, and it says that it is trying to connect to Vodafone Internet, GPRS, yet always have the following message display:-
Dialed: Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documenatation and try again

I am wanting to set-up Goodlink (through work) to receive emails, and if I cannot sort this out, then I'm stuck. I can only use msn or connect through grabbing onto a Wireless area through WiFiFoFum.
Could anyone please take a second to tell me what I need to do?
Do I just need to install something?
Have I got some Orange files hidden away somewhere causing it to get confused?
Please help - getting desperate.
Your account might not have access to the internet APN.
Call customer services and get the "intenet" added to your account.

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place; but I've gone just about everywhere else looking for help...
I'm in the USA; and I've got an O2 Cocoon - I'm trying to find out if it's got a simlock on it, or if it's just messed up.
The major problem is that it absolutely refuses to make or accept calls, texts, mms... anything.
The phone is set up for my network (Unicel) with what I'm reasonably sure are the correct settings. It gets bars of signal, and when I search for available networks, it finds a 2G Vstream. When I have new voicemail; the new message icon even displays on the Cocoon, and after switching the sim to a phone that does work & checking the voicemail, the new message icon on the Cocoon goes away.
It constantly displays "SOS Call Only" underneath the signal bars; even though it's usually getting 3-5 bars of signal, and whenever I try to connect to the 2G Vstream that it sees in Network Connections, or make a call / send a text; it says "Network Failure".
Does anyone think the phone might actually be simlocked, even though it's not asking for a subsidy code or anything? If so; how do I access the area of the phones software where I can input an unlock code once I buy one?
I'd really like to get this phone working; however I don't want to spend the $40 on an unlock code for the thing if I'm not even sure that it's going to solve my problem.
I work for o2 mate, its locked to network you should be able to unlock though

Sweet! That's exactly the type of answer I've been looking for. I've been shooting emails back & forth with O2 support; the one I most recently sent them I straight out asked for the code & explained my situation - if they don't give it to me in their reply, I'll just buy one now.
Chris, Do you know the sequence / code whatever that I have to enter in order to get to where the phone asks for the code?
My only experience with unlocking is a couple of Motorola Razrs; and those won't let you do anything at all with a different sim if they're locked - they just prompt you on startup.
Hopefully deblocage-htc.com 's turnaround time to send the code to me is fast; I can't wait to start using this phone... it's so, awesome.
OK; so after sending deblocage-htc.com about 3 emails asking them how to enter the subsidy code on this phone; they finally responded with one that wasn't an advertisement -
"Dear Sir,
Your phone must ask to enter the Unlocking Code just after entering the PIN Code of your SIM Card"
The phone isn't asking me to enter the subsidy code after I enter my Sim Pin. Lot of good buying an unlock code is going to do me if no one seems to know how to enter the code into the phone
EDIT: Wait, does that mean I just enter the unlock code directly from the home screen of the phone, then?
want to help mate but the info I have is that if you enter a non o2 sim will ask for the code
02 cocoon start up only
hi mates i have 02 cocoon here. the problem is when i turn it on only star up continuesly not booting.
how can i program this or hard reset?
pls help me.tia.............
The phone is definitely not locked. It works just fine with an AT&T simcard borrowed from a friend, but does not work with a Unicel sim. It doesn't prompt me to enter a subsidy/unlock code when I turn it on.
I thought it might not be compatible with GSM 850, because we only get 850 where I live - but when I'm roaming in NY or PA or anywhere in between, and there's loads of 1900 signal as well, it still doesn't work with my Unicel simcard. The phone sees bars of signal, and it knows when I have a missed call or a new text message; but it won't let me call out or receive calls or text messages or do anything useful like that.
Hello!
This morning I suddenly began getting a failed message any time I attempted to send an SMS message. There doesn't appear to be any error code or anything, just an exclamation point next to the message which triggers a new attempt if i touch it.
I assumed it was a passing network error and ignored it for awhile. During my last break at work I realized that still could not send SMS, so I powered my phone off and back on to no avail. I called AT&T tech support, thinking it may have been a provisioning or switch error, they sent me an SMS which came through fine, and I sent a few test SMS while on the line with them which also went through perfectly.
After getting off of the phone with AT&T I discovered my SMS was not working again. Messing around with it later I learned that I can send and receive SMS normally while on a call, and can send MMS messages regardless, but am unable to receive MMS unless I'm on a call. Data is working fine (both AT&T and WiFi) and I can make and receive calls normally.
When I got home from work I called AT&T again. They had no suggestions, but told me they could not help me troubleshoot while I was on the phone needing troubleshooting (which makes perfect sense, but was the only phone available at the time.)
I have since re-flashed my phone to the official factory rom and done a reset to factory settings/deleted all data by following this tutorial here: (XDA won't allow me to link the video, but youtube user appdroid seven, video title "How To Unroot & Factory Reset At&t Samsung Galaxy S III I747", I fouind the video in the thread titled "[ReF} ALL IN ONE NOOBS VIDEO* GUIDES TO ROOT | FLASH | & MORE [Mods this goes in ATT]" post four.)
I am still having the same issue, but am running out of ideas on how to fix it... any help would be greatly appreciated.
I had the same problem. I just figured out how to fix it. Worked on my friends phone too. Both S3s.
I found the below on another site.
1) With phone on, take off back cover and press your SIM card so it releases from the spring. It won't come all the way out as it's blocked by the battery. This seems fine - I didn't bother trying to force it out as I didn't want to break anything...
2) Once you see the message that the SIM card is removed, go to the dialer and dial *#2263#
3) You should see a menu with band selections. The current setting is "Automatic". If you switch to "GSM All", you will be EDGE (2G). If you switch to "WCDMA All", you will be on HSPA+ (3G, though AT&T and others call it 4G).
4) Press the SIM card back into place until it clicks. For whatever reason the phone will not recognize it until you reboot. Upon reboot you should see your new setting in effect.
I switched to WCDMA ALL... then rebooted. This put it on HSPA only. Then I did the above again and selected automatic and rebooted. LTE came back online and the SMS worked again. No problems since. Hope this helps.

I just got this problem after the AT&T update got pushed to my phone yesterday. I followed the steps above, trying to text between each switch of the radios. I found that I could text on "WCDMA All" but not "LTE All". Going to "Automatic" gave me LTE radio back, but MMS/SMS failed to work. However, text did work if I was on a phone call! This got me thinking about the APN settings and whether they were right. Sure enough, AT&T messed with "APN type" on the latest upgrade. It should read "default, mms, supl, hipri" but instead read "default, mms, supl". I created a new APN with the correct APN type, reset the radio to "Automatic" as per the instructions above, and rebooted. I now have LTE and MMS/SMS back!
I hope that this helps!
Now, how do I go about billing AT&T for my lost time?
Today I lost my ability to make phone calls or do anything with my phone away from WIFI.
If I tried to make a phone call, I'd get a "Not Registered to Network" error message.
I can still do WIFI calling but nothing else away from WIFI connection.
I then went into network settings and chose "manual" for network operators. I was able to restore texting and calling. But I have no data. The options that I see from the scan after choosing "choose network operators manually" are 3-5 choices and they all read "Home". Some of these options give me error messages and others gives "Registered to network" - which then lets me call and text message.
So far I have tried rebooting. Taking out the sim tray and placing the sim card back in. I have tried resetting network settings. I have tried resetting APN to default.
Anyone know of a fix for this Samsung message occurring on the A70?
I am trying to do what I can to avoid resetting to factory defaults.
Thanks.
Others things I have tried:
Placing sim card in the other tray.
Making sure my sim card works in another phone. (It does.)
I fixed the issue.
Restoring APN to defaults or resetting APN, does NOT work, apparently.
I had to manually create and save an APN and enter the appropriate data, as instructed by my carrier's website.
The key data entry was probably adding a website (fake example: "t-mobile.com") to the "APN" entry, which was blank in the default APN that my Samsung was using. I wonder what happened there.

Last week an earthquake has occured at Istanbul (5.8) and all the gsm carriers stopped working for hours at whole country. That was interesting. And when you tried to call someone, phone were showing a dialog which was shown to you. And also as you said, peole had to use wifi to call someone via WhatsApp etc.
So, I think the problem you lived may be your gsm carrier's issue and probably they fixed it while you were trying to fix it yourself.

No. The notion of an outage of service occurred to me but ultimately the fact was my sim card worked just fine in my other phone.
The problem and fix had everything to do with the APN file. I'm just wondering why that APN would change all of sudden.
What I've read about Samsung phones is that this "Not registered to network" is a common problem.
I hope this thread will be useful to someone in the future.
I can't seem to call anyone from my contacts or otherwise. I just get a call ended prompt as soon as I call someone.
It doesn't happen when the caller on the other end is with the same network operator as I. Also, the helpline number for my operator when called, tells me that the number doesn't exist dumbfounded to say the least.
I am on the global 12.5.2.0 (RKHMIXM) ROM.
All worked well till yesterday btw.
I have tried the following:
1. Changing network preferences from 2g all the way to 5g.
2. Clearing all data on Phone and Phone services via app settings.
3. Tried calling with wi-fi off.
4. Tried calling with cellular data off.
5. Tried going into airplane mode and reconnecting to my network operator.
6. Rebooting the phone.
7. Turning off the phone and then restarting.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

SAN
Have you done any portability application to another network with the same number maybe? It's probably your network provider and not the phone. Of course you can factory reset and check again.
Call them again so you speak with another representative and check again your number and maybe reset its network settings.
Finally what will solve it for sure is to contact them and disconnect the number and then reconnect it but this is complicated.

I don't want to factory reset tbh, I will lose all my app settings and security camera settings, it's a pita setting those up.
No to portability from another network. I will try calling them from a landline tomorrow and if not try getting a new SIM card since mine is pretty old.
if google phone dialer settings assisted dialing make sure correct country is displayed if it is turn it off and try placing a call then it should work and then you can re-enable it.

Second update. It resolved itself. Started today and got resolved by itself.
So I am definitely thinking it was a network issue after all. Thank you for your prompt response, highly appreciated.

It was on. Shows detect automatically but doesn't show the name of my country. But it seems to have been an operator issue at their back end. Resolved itself.
