Blackberry
Blackberry is a handset based email application that allows the device to send/receive email to/from either a corporate server, or a webmail or ISP mail provider. There are a number of types of Blackberry handset, and a number of software versions for each. Southern Phone supports Blackberry handsets where they are used for voice, internet connectivity and MMS messaging only. We do not support the Blackberry email application.



Call diversion
The person making the mobile call is not charged for the receiver's call diversion costs. The owner of the diverted service is charged for the call from their fixed or mobile phone to the destination point.



MMS
MMS enables mobile phone users to send any combination of text, photos, pictures, video or sounds to other phones or email recipients



Mobile Web Browsing
Accessing the web on your mobile. Also called GPRS.



Stopping a PIN request on a mobile phone
You can stop a mobile phone from always requesting a PIN to be entered every time you use it.

To do so, refer to the manufacturer's handbook that came with the phone.
On most phones you go into the phone's menu, then
Go to Settings, then to

Security Settings, then to

PIN Code Request ? Turn Off.

This is not to be confused with the request for a PIN when a new SIM card is placed in the phone. In this case the PIN is under a scratch panel on the SIM card that was sent to you.

Sometimes a mobile will ask for a security code. This code varies between brands of phone. The default security code for a Nokia is 12345.



Transferring to Southern Phone
You can very easily port your existing mobile phone number to Southern Phone.

Simply call 13 14 64.
