This chapter contains the following:
Preparing your phone to use Simtext
Before joining Simtext, please ensure:
1. Your GPRS settings are correctly configured (see 'Testing your
GPRS settings' below).
2. You have sufficient calling credit on your mobile (if you are a prepay
mobile user).
Testing your GPRS settings:
If you can view internet (WAP) pages such as www.bbc.co.uk on your mobile then your GPRS settings are correctly configured. If you are still not sure whether your settings are correct, and would like to test them, follow these instructions:
First press the ‘Online’
button (that is situated on the right hand side of your mobile) to establish
a WAP connection. Then press More > Enter address > New address, and
enter a website you want to navigate to (eg www.bbc.co.uk) into the address
field, then press ok.
If you can see the site you entered once you have made a connection,
your GPRS settings are correctly configured.
If you are unable to see the site you entered, and you have not downloaded
WAP pages onto your mobile before, your settings may not be configured
correctly. If so, contact your service provider for further assistance,
click here for details. Alternatively you may wish
to have new settings sent to your phone using this WAP
configurator.
Checking your calling credit:
If you are a pay as you go mobile
user, you will need to have calling credit available on your mobile phone
to use Simtext. Your balance can be obtained by dialing the number provided
to you by your service provider.
Registering and Downloading Simtext
If your GPRS settings are correctly configured, you can join Simtext
by sending us a text message. Go to www.simtext.com to follow the process.
Once our system has received this request, we will send you a WAP push
message containing a link which will allow you to download Simtext onto
your mobile.
When the WAP Push message
arrives on your phone press 'OK' and then select 'Load' and this will
connect to the Simtext system. Choose 'Download' to install the Simtext
application.
Finding Simtext on your phone
Simtext is stored under ‘Entertainment’ > ‘Games
& more’ on your mobile. To access the ‘Entertainment’
folder, first press the central ‘Menu’ key to be taken to
the phones main menu, and scroll the ‘Entertainment’ folder.
Then press Select > Games & More > Select > then highlight
Simtext, and press Start. See below to create a shortcut.
Shortcuts and additional settings
Once Simtext has been installed successfully on your mobile phone, you
may wish to:
1. Create a shortcut to Simtext - to make it easier to access
2. Set 'Web access' to 'Allow' - to allow messages
to be sent more easily
Creating a shortcut to Simtext: Some versions
of the T610 and T630 may vary in terms of creating shortcuts and therefore
may vary from the instructions below.
To create a shortcut to Simtext, press the Menu key to open the main
menu, and scroll down to ‘Settings’. Then open My shortcuts
> Edit shortcuts > then scroll to ‘Games & more’
and press Select
Then to access Simtext from now on, you simply move the central menu
button to the left, and this will take you to the ‘Games & more’
folder where you will see Simtext.
Troubleshooting
Problems downloading Simtext
If you receive the WAP push message from Simtext, but are unable to successfully
download the software onto your mobile, you can download the application
manually.
This is achieved by opening
‘Messaging’ on the phones main menu, then selecting WAP push
> Inbox, then highlighting ‘Simtext’ and pressing Select
> ok. Your phone will then establish a GPRS connection, and you will
be taken to a Simtext WAP page. Wait several seconds and the application
will download automatically. However, if you are still unable to access
the WAP page, your GPRS settings maybe incorrect. See ‘Testing your
GPRS settings’ for more information.
If you have any other problems with Simtext that cannot be resolved on
this website please email us at customerservices@simtext.com
