Couple of questions on new S55
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: dimenxia

OK...so I got my new (previously loved) S55 per my earlier thread. Now I've got some questions (and I made sure to scour the web before asking):

1. Is there a way to add a string to the end of the voicemail number so that my password (number) is automatically entered? I'm able to do this with my Nokia, but the same string returns a "NOT EXECUTED" on the Siemens phone.

2. Is there anyway to reset/change the PIN/PIN2 number if you do NOT know the current PIN number? Maybe with some third party software or something?

3. Is there a way to restore the phone to factory settings? The option under menu 9-4-4 doesn't seem to do squat. Wap settings, wallpapers, addresses, softkey, etc. remain after hitting "yes" to "Reset all default settings". Please help.

4. I've tried to enter the wap/mail settings for AT&T as outlined by gfunkdave in another post:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Under Data Services (Menu 9-6-5):
MMS, WAP:
Profile Name: AT&T MMS & WAP
CSD Settings: all blank/default
GPRS Settings (checked):
APN: Proxy
Login Name and Password: both blank

Mail, Java, Rms:
Profile Name: AT&T Mail Java
Same settings as MMS,WAP
DNS settings: blank/zeroes
-----------------------------------------------------------

Unfortunately I still cannot get an internet connection. I get "Internet service is not enabled" or "Server not responding". Is there anything else I need to configure?

5. I need to configure my POP3 email into this phone. Is anyone willing to help me out if I give the appropriate info?

A little handholding please...
TIA

Yes. Use the plus sign to insert pauses.

2. Is there anyway to reset/change the PIN/PIN2 number if you do NOT know the current PIN number? Maybe with some third party software or something?

It's the same PIN/Pin2 that was always on your SIM card. If it's a new sim card, there should be a default PIN written down somewhere in the docs you received. Otherwise, enter the PIN incorrectly a few times and the phone will ask for a PUK/PUK2 code (different one for each of the two PINs). You can get this by calling your carrier's customer service. The correct PUK code will let you reset the PIN/PIN2 to whatever you want. Entering the wrong PUK/PUK2 more than a couple times will permanently disable your SIM, requiring a new one. So be careful.

Dunno what to tell you. I've never had to do it. Just go into the filesystem and do "Delete All" on each folder in there.

Make sure that GPRS is enabled (Menu 9-6-1) is all I can think of.

5. I need to configure my POP3 email into this phone. Is anyone willing to help me out if I give the appropriate info?

If you have AT&T I can probably help.
