  • It’s not officially supported by T-Mobile, so don’t bother calling support, they’ll tell you to go buy one of their handsets.
  • Go to the online T-Mobile Configurator and follow the steps to configure details.
  • Once you’ve had the details sent to your phone, make sure you activate them or nothing will change!

    • Why T-Mobile support couldn’t have told me to try their impressive online tool is beyond me, but they didn’t even mention it. Oh well, thank goodness for the Internets!

I got it because it had Bluetooth, took video and photos, and was tri-band (so it would work in Australia and the US). Unfortunately, because I am on a pre-paid T-Mobile, I don’t have access to data or multimedia messaging, so it limits the cool things that I can do with my phone, but it still rocks, and is way ahead of most of the handsets available here, which was a bit of a surprise.

    Some of the cool things that I like being able to do with my phone;

    1. Take a photo and then Bluetooth it to my iPAQ for editing, saving etc
    2. Dial a number on my phone, directly from my iPAQ
    3. Synch the Contacts (phone numbers etc) from Outlook on my PC, across to my phone – I always have every number I know about on hand now
    4. Use the loudspeaker/speakerphone – it’s surprisingly useful
    5. Take photos to use for my wallpaper!
    6. Play mp3s – can’t help it on that one, had to add it :)

    So basically, I think it was a great purchase. Being stuck on T-Mobile (because they are the only ones I can find here that will allow me to bring my own handset, and use their SIM), and paying a fair bit for my calls sucks, but it’s bearable to keep using the phone, ’cause it’s so much better than the other stuff around here (and I paid for it outright man, I’m not going to retire it already!).

    If you’re looking for a nice-sized, sturdy, full-featured phone for use in Asia, Australia or America, then the Nokia 6230 is your man :)
