Nokia 206 - Send message to nokia - charged £1

Got new Nokia 206, inserted sim powered up got a message saying need to send message to Nokia and may be charged (no idea what is in the message), checked PAYG balance and I have been charged £1 for the privelige = not happy.
Is this a subsidy to nokia? in order to use the phone we need you to send a premium rate SMS?
Can anyone elaborate what this message was (not saved in sent messages) and why Nokia are sending to premium rate number?

Well its just an activation message which helps Nokia in activating the warranty of your phone and other services such as Nokia Life.
But that's optional, it also tells you that premium sms rates will apply. So its your mistake if you didn't read it properly and continued.
Make sure you don't do that the next time. Skip it if it asks your permission to send an sms. Anyways, it won't bother you anymore

  • Cant Send Messages from Nokia N8

    Hey All I Cant Send Messages From Nokia N8-00 The Error Which I M Facing Is Whenever I Type A Msg And Send It It Goes Directly To The Outbox When I M Resending it it is not being sent Please Help!

    When a message failed, it always goes to the outbox or if you aborted it. Download the configuration for sms, gprs & packet data for your phone from you provider. Sometimes the wizard does not configure it properly.

  • Help needed ! Message sending failure in Nokia N73

    HI I am using nokia n73 for almost 2 years,
    From last one week i am unable to send messages, as soon as i send a message, in the outbox it changes to resend and when i resend it and after four times it moves to failed state.
    I have tried the sim in different mobile and messages are working fine, there are no issues with the n/w provider. I have formatted the memory card, phone and even then my problem still persists.
    Can anyone please help me .

    Though you have mentioned that you have formatted the phone.. did you restore the data back ? Why the question ..because if that is the case and if you have a very large no. of messages stored in the phone.. then delete as many as possible to see if that makes any difference..

  • Help nokia e71 unable to send message help me fix ...

    Hi
    I brought a nokia e71 last 1 week (second hand unlock ) ,I got problem I can not send message   when i start send message  it view notice : unable to send message and detail : memory Full close some applications and try again. I checked my  phone memory got free100MB free memory do not have message ,image , in phone and i checked not applications not open same time , i did again many time but not work..: (
    please help me how I can fix
    Thanks too much
    Cheers

    guys we all used e-series before, try moving the messages to the 'other' memory from the messaging app settings, what i mean is if they were on the memorycard move them to the internal memory, if they were on the internal memory card, move them to the memory card.
    if that didn't work, jus backup everything, hard reset, and restore everything (skip the settings in the backup/restore) .

  • Nokia N95 Cannot send messages

    Hi I hope this is the right place to post this!
    I can't seem to be able to send messages on my Nokia N95. I got it in the middle of December. Great phone and no problems whatsoever.
    However the other night I was unable to send messages. They would immediately go straight to the outbox and sit there saying they would resend.
    However it fixed itself randomly and began sending messages again. I did nothing. Kept the phone on changed no settings.
    Today though it's gone again and this time i haven't been able to send any messages for the past 12 hours. I can make calls, receive calls and receive messages I just cannot send messages.
    I've checked my message centre details. Everything is correct for my network 02.
    I tried my sim card in my other phone and it sends messages fine.
    You name it i've tried it...deleting message centres...adding new ones...it still just sends them straight to the outbox though!
    Any ideas anyone? i've googled it and it appears quite a few other people are suffering from this.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who replies

    As for the message problem, if you are getting the same issue after your restore, I would say it is probable a program or file that is causing the conflict and the only way to deal with that is by process of illimination.
    Start by removing the latest program you installed and so on.
    On PC Suite I can only restore the entire backup. How do I restore only parts of the backup? I really only need to keep my contacts. Everything else like the maps I can download again if need be.

  • Nokia 206

    The Nokia 206 is not good but the design is okay. According on Nokia.com the video recording of this phone is QVGA@15fps and it has also a feature of Image Sequence. Upon Exploring device i didn't find the mention features. I also check other sites but I'll found out that it is only QCIF@10fps. I wish I am able to turn off keypad light.

    Hi there
    We here at Lebara phone company is wondering if this phone actually has mms, picture messaging. On the nokia website it is written that the phone does have the option for picture messaging, but in the phone manual it is not clear at all and it seems like it is only available by bluetooth.
    And if it does have the option how do we setup up the phone for sending and receiving. We tried to change the phone's mms settings and connection settings but without luck.
    Kind regards,

  • Unknown icon on Nokia 206

    Can anyone explain the icon that has just appeare don the top line of my new Nokia 206? A tray (long bottom line, a short up line at each end) with an upward pointing arrow rising from the centre of the tray. It's not explained in the user manual. Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    It indicates that the message(sms) which you have sent is being sent (shows animation with an up arrow)...
    If that icon is not animating, indicates that the sms sending failed.
    Hope this helps.

  • Nokia 206 does not turn on after update

    Hi
    Just got a Nokia 206
    Updated the software. Itupdated and restarted fine
    Then I checked for updates again, and it updated a second time
    Everything went fine, and the phone restarted. It said "Update Successful" or something like that
    I remember that the SW version was from May 2013 (first update was MArch 2013 I believe)
    I tried to update a 3rd time and it said that there were not more update availabale
    I was happy !
    I checked that internet worked, sent an email, everything worked fine
    Then I turned off the mobile to try another SIM card, but when tunring it on, the screen goes black, then "NOKIA" is displayed on the screen for few sec, then the phone turns off
    I tried to :
    _ different SIM cards
    _ using 1, 2 or 0 SIM cards
    _ holding power button up to 10 - 15 sec (hopping it will do some reset)
    _ tried to find a hard reset button, but did not find...
    So basically, the phone is not turning on. Only "NOKIA" is written for few sec, then phone turns off again
    The phone is un-usable as such
    Please Nokia, what should I do to fix that ?
    Regards
    Bastien

    when I plug the power supply, the charging icone shows up
    When I try to start the phone then, the screen gets all white for less than a second, then black for 1 to 2 seconds, then all white for less than a sec again, then turns off
    When I press again, it goes back to the charging icon (the white and orange battery charging)
    Also, I forgot to mention that sometimes, it does not do the short vibration it used to do when trying to turn on
