Setting for access point in Nokia while in Italy

teves · **Setting for access point in Nokia while in Italy -** 05-09-2010, 21:13

I will travel in Italy for about 10 days, and I need a prepaid sim card just for data.
Just went over the sticky and previous Italy threads, I think I have everything understood.

One small issue though:
When I first started to use my phone for data in my home country, I had to send a SMS in order to get all the internet access points configured.
Is there a similar procedure I need to do in Italy? or should it be configured manually (and if yes, how do I do it in a Symbian 9.5 based Nokia phone)?

You can receive an SMS with auto-configuration, but for Italian operators you have to set-up only the APN so it's faster to write it down on the phone settings rather than searching on Italian websites for the configuration-SMS page...

I don't know which phone you have, but usually you just need to go to Settings, Connections, Access Points.
