Orange San Francisco

[Guest Richie_J]

I recently bought an Orange San Francisco, unlocked the phone and bought a 3 sim. The phone really is fantastic btw!

But... even with a full signal I cannot connect to the internet via 3G. Do I need to change the phone settings in some way to make this work?

I am totally new to Android and something of technophobe, so please feel free to assume zero knowledge!

Any advice would be really welcome.

Thank you!

My Orange San Francisco arrived today morning and my life's been hell till now...first of all, after activating the original sim in the mobile, I swapped my older orange SIM on it and the internet won't work on it. I ended up calling several orange CS people only to end up in arguments. It got even worse later when I wasn't able to make or receive any calls from my San Francisco using my old SIM and one helpful CS guy managed to get my problem and did something so that now I can make and receive calls and texts but the internet is still now working. He said he'll send the settings by text but nothing so far yet. Is my mobile faulty? Or is it jsut a matter of setting the stuff clearly by the network? I've really had it with Orange. Planning to switch to either O2 or T-mobile. Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Problem solved...apparently the gprs setting of my mobile account was strangely removed and had to be reset after which everything is fine and peachy. Loving this baby!!! BTW, does anyone know if there are any pc sync software to transfer files between my pc and the san francisco?
