Unlocked Viewty - need help configuring internet and MMS settings for T-Mobile USA





 I just got my unlocked Viewty (02 UK Branded). I Typically get my phones from UK so have lots of practice configuring connectivity settings to work with my home network. This is my first LG and I havent been able to get the internet, or MMS working.
I have all the ip adresses and can enter the APN, but there is not space for all the info. Plus the 02 internet settings seem hard-wired in so no matter what it still tries to use that and the connection fails!   
Help! Am I missing something? Is there another way to configure this?

Also, I am unable to transfer music from itunes, Nokia PC Suite, or random downloaded files- seems to only recognize mp3? 
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!

Regards hey there 😊 sorry for the delay! this might be a bit tricky as we are unable to ship you a sim card that you would need to use our service there.if you are able to have someone visit one of our stores and purchase a sim starter kit ($20) and activate it on our $40/month simply prepaid plan then ship you the sim card, you can place the sim in any t-mobile compatible phone and use our service. just so you are aware, it is $1.49/min for incoming and outgoing calls and text messages are $0.50 to send, $0.10 to receive so you will need to add extra funds to your account to be able to use your service there. also, please be aware that while the plan comes with 3gb of high-speed data, you will not be able to use data services while roaming in another country with this plan. hello @oscarmorton94,in regards to texts, try the following:1) turn off imessage (settings > messages)2) restart your phone (by pressing and holding the on/off button)3) tap settings > phone > my number and confirm that it is correct.4) if it is not correct, please enter the correct number5) turn imessage back to on (settings > messages)6) finally, go to settings > messages > send & receive and see if the correct number is displayed under “start new conversations from:”.for the coverage, it sounds like the coverage in your area isn’t as good. contracts purchased from us come with a 30-day change of mind, and 14-days via carphone warehouse.if you’re still in the returns window, we can help process a return.i’ll pm you anyway incase you wish to go through with this.mohammed i assume your new router is wireless?

limited access with wireless usually means you don't have a valid ip address assigned. you need two things for a working internet connection. 1. you need a physical connection, known as layer 1 and layer 2. 2. you need a logical connection known as layer 3.

if you've got the limited access message that means your laptop has a working wireless connection at layers 1 and 2. what you don't have is the layer 3 connection i.e. an ip address.

there could be a number of reasons why this is happening. i would suggest that you start by powering your pc down - shut it off completely not just hibernate it or just shut the lid. next power down the router, pull the power cord out of it. let the router sit unplugged for about 2 minutes. power the router back up......wait about 2 min more. power your pc back up.

learn how to use the command line command "ipconfig". you access the command line via the accessories folder on windows. when you get the c:/> prompt - enter the command "ipconfig" hit enter. in the group of stuff on the screen you want to see an ip addess assigned to the wireless interface. when you get the limited access message the first thing you want to do is check to see if you have an ip address assigned.

if the above trick doesn't work, then i suspect there is something wrong with your network configuration on your pc. if you take your laptop to a starbucks does it work there? Greetings,

Regards after some playing around i managed to fix this problem. the issue appears to be a forwarding priority problem. there are 4 types of call forwarding which are supported by at&t and most devices, they are: unconditional call forwardingforward on busyforward on unansweredforward on unreachable according to some earlier posts in other threads on this forum it is currently impossible to set anything other than unconditional yourself (even for unconditional i'm not sure, although it appears to work), apparently at&t disabled this some time ago citing security concerns. so, in order to set the others, you need to call 611 and ask at&t to do it for you. so, to the issue. in my case (and i believe in most cases), the default call forwarding number for all of the various types of call forwarding is the voicemail number for at&t (starts with 415 area code). what appears to happen if you try to set unconditional call forwarding yourself is that it appears to have worked, but when someone makes a call to the number, at&t defines the phone to be unreachable, so, instead of forwarding to the unconditional call forwarding number, it forward directly to the unreachable call forwarding number, which is set to the voice-mail number, and the caller is directed immediately to voice-mail. the way to fix this is to change the call forwarding for 'unreachable', but as i mentioned earlier, you can't do this yourself; i have tried with both the phone settings and the mmi number (which btw is very hard to find), both return some kind of error indicating that it cannot be done. so, you need to call at&t and tell them, very specifically, that you would like to set *only* your 'forward on unreachable' to the number that you actually want to forward to. now, when the caller calls the number, if you have set unconditional call forwarding, or you turn off your phone, or you set it to airplane mode, or you take the sim out and go to another country, your calls will be correctly forwarded directly to the 'forward on unreachable' number, which is correctly set. i have done this, and it works perfectly...it's easy to test, you just need to put your phone in airplane mode.  to any google voice users, i have set mine to a google voice number, and it works perfectly. now, if i have wifi access in another country, or i put another sim in my phone that has internet, i will be able to answer calls that come in to my at&t wireless number on my google voice number. beware that the level 1 staff at the 611 line are completely clueless about this and they will try to send you a link to the set of instructions to do it yourself...they don't work; you need to insist that you want them to do it, and try to talk to one of the wireless experts who can actually set the correct call forwarding at their end. be prepared with your imei number, they asked me for it for both lines. howdy @moufflon

does your phone allow you to define which sim your phone would use by default for data?

they might be an issue with a dual-sim phone, or a setting there within.

could you try removing the o2 sim, deleting the o2 apn settings and trying if the sim is working for data then?


kevin Hi,
  

  
Here are the instructions to [activate your phone with Spectrum](https://ccm.net/faq/56575-how-to-activate-a-new-device-with-spectrum). When you proceed with the activation, don't forget to keep your phone turned off.
  

  
If you still cannot activate your phone, remove the SIM card and reinsert it, then restart your device. someone had the same problem before but they miss out the new windows update permissions for the microphone so try going to the settings > privacy and go to the microphone section and try turning on also the "allows apps to use microphone" under the 1st microphone access option for device.. so basically just try to turn both permissions on and see if that works.
