I went and opened my menu, but when I went to scroll there was no choice to select web access under java settings. It just is NOT there. I bought the phone off ebay and it came with Danish instructions. It works fine with my Cing service, but it does not have the selection. There was a selection under that for web access, but it did not have the choice of MediaNet at all. Just MMS or new entry. What to do?

Joe welcome to CPF.

Can you tells us what phone model you are trying to configure?

Tony E,

I'm a newbie (obviously)

and I am trying to configure an unlocked Motorola SLVR L7 phone that I purchased a while back and use with my Cingular SIM chip. I have been searching high and low on the both the Cingular website and the forums, and have found instructions, but they usually infer that I have certain options under certain menus available. I am guessing that I must upgrade the firmware somehow. I can receive text messages, calls, etc, but I cannot send text messages. Any help would be appreciated.

Hitekthree, Welcome to CPF.

Let's try one thing first, call Cingular and make sure that you have "text messaging" enabled on your acccount, if after Cingular reprovisions your account for text messaging and you still cannot send messages we will go through your settings.

Tony I hope you don't mind but I suggested that Hitekthree call up Cingulars tech support # 1-888-240-6804 and they would be able to assist him in the manual process of setting up his handset. I'm 99.9% sure that along with having text messages on the customers account, that Cingular would also need to be told what the account holders IMEI number is, so that they could enter it in their system.

Correct, that's what reprovisioning the account involves.
