I bought an unlocked RAZR but Cingular says I can't access the net or Yahoo IM?

Question

Is this true? I had the media package and had to cancel it because Cingular says there is no way to access the internet or Yahoo IM with a phone that is unlocked

Answer 1

No it's not true. All you have to do is imput Cingulars settings into the phone and you are good to go. I have 4 unlocked phones, once the settings are changed to Cingular, media net will work perfect
Here is the settings and instructions for the Razr, this can also be found on Cingulars site
1) Go to Menu - Web Access - Web Sessions à New Entry
2) Enter all the values in the table below. (Note: Values are case sensitive)
3) Go back to Web sessions and select Cingular GPRS (Press the top center button) and Set as Default.

Answer 2

It's probably set up for a different network, all the networks have different data settings. You'd have to contact Cingulars data customer service. But I know from experience that if you buy a phone in the states, the data won't work on it i Canada.

Answer 3

Yes, unfortunately, this is true. In efforts to sell their own phones and make more money off of them, they encourage people not to buy their own unlocked phones and use it with their network. As a "penalty/disadvantage" of using your own unlocked phone with their network, they disable and/or are not able to provide these media services.

Thanks for using Yahoo! Answers and it was a pleasure serving you.
