Has anybody heard of this before……

I recently bought a 6600 in Hong Kong, extremely happy with it except I cannot get the GPRS settings to work.

I have tried everything form applying the settings sent to me by my operator (o2) to manually imputing them in.

When it looks like it has connected I get an error message saying ‘Services; Unable to perform operation’.

I rung the Club Nokia line who I have to say were extremely unhelpful, al they would advise was to return it to where I bought it…. In HONG KONG…pity I live in Ireland!

Anyway…Has anybody heard of a foreign phone not working on a home GPRS network, anyone know a fix?

I WONT give up!!

you have to call your operator for activation they say it uses tcpip protocols
