The Day My Smart Mobile Phone Was Resurrected
A day after I blogged about my Smart mobile phone (a Sony Ericsson W760i Walkman unit) went semi-dead: can’t make / receive any phone call, nor do GPRS/3G/MMS browsing, a very interesting comment was left on my Facebook wall from a long time friend.
Tonio (a friend since high school and works for Smart Communications) advised me to key-in the following keywords on my mobile unit: ROAM OFF then send it to 333. Wait for a couple of hours (around 2 hours for me) and I was back to mobile web surfing via GPRS/3G and was able to send MMS already!
This was confirmed to me by an email from Smart (in response to my email to them) stating that there are times wherein the International Roaming service is accidentally turned on(?). Hmmm.
Hope this helps those who had experienced the same thing and same error voice prompt.
The Day My Smart Mobile Phone Went Semi-Dead
Been using my Smart-locked Sony Ericsson W760i for almost a month now. It was preactivated with MMS and Mobile Internet. I was able to take picture shots with it, then post it directly to the web (via BlogSpot and Twitpic).
Then suddenly, when I was about to post a picture of Robyn during luncht time today, I got this odd error:
Connection failure. Check settings. If problem persists, please contact your operator for support.
Thinking that my GRPS/3G/MMS settings was the problem, I made an OTA request. Got the new settings saved, and the same problem is encountered. So I tried to dial the Smart Customer Service Hotline *888. An odder voice prompt error was encountered:
The subscriber you are calling can be reached through text messaging. Thank you!
Using the landline, I was able to contact the Customer Service of Smart. Their advise: for me to wait for up to 48 hours to check if I still encounter error. This is what I hate about Smart (Bro, Buddy, etc) — waiting game.
