Spanish Nokia 6085 unable to connect to Virgin Mob...

Hi,
I have a Nokia 6085 that I got from Movistar Spain. The mobile is now unlocked and I was intending to use it in UK with my pay-as-you-go Virgin Mobile SIM. However, the 6085 connects automatically to t-mobile, and if I try to connect manually, the list of networks provided does not include Virgin, but only: O2, T-Mobile, Vodafone and Orange.
It seems the mobile will just show those networks that are compatible with the roaming service for Movistar, even with the Virgin SIM inside.
Does anyone have any clues on how to remove this restriction of my movile?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers.

Virgin mobile (UK) uses T-mobiles network.
If you use a phone that was previously connected to another network then it will shown that you are connected t-mobile, not virgin.
But if you can make and receive calls and texts then it is working normally and you will be charged at virgins rates, not t-mobiles.
There is no way to make it display the correct name, but it's just the name that's wrong, not the network.

  • Nokia Mail 'Unable to connect with information pro...

    Hi,
    I've just obtained a Nokia 5800 and am trying to set up e-mail using Nokia Messaging 2.10. When I get to the set-up section it asks for an e-mail address, and when I enter my address it searches for a while then gives the error message 'unable to connect with the information provided. Please try again'.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    NM can't find info about your e-mail settings (POP/IMAP, SMTP). You have to set this manually.

  • NOKIA N8 - Unable to connect - WLAN Network not fo...

    also for NOKIA N8 THE SAME PROBLEM: Unable to connect - WLAN Network not found;I see my network in the wlan list (Tthe state is "knowed") but when i try to connect to it,i read: Unable to connect-wlan network not found;i tryed with: mac filter on/off,dhcp on/of,wep protection on/off,firewall router on/off,power saving in the phone on/off, but the problem is the same ever!..Niklas Savander,..where you are?..nokia is back?..but with the same problems!

    Well, I seem to have issues with WLAN as well.
    When I am approx. 10metres away from my Router, the N8 doesn't connect. However, I can connect to WLAN using my Nokia N900, Nokia E52 and my Netbook (Asus EEE1005HA). This is a N-router with standard settings. I have tried changing, the channels etc. but it doesn't resolve the problem.
    So is this a problem with the Nokia N8? I mean, all my other wireless devices work fine. I even tried changing the Wireless Interface type from N/B/G, to B/G but as I said before, the problem is still there.
    Hopefully this problem can be sorted with a software update, that is if the N8 finds it difficult to connect to Wireless Internet.
    P.S.: Tthere is another thread reporting similar problems. Here is the link.

  • Nokia 3230 unable to connect to internet via USB c...

    when i use CA-53 cable to connect to internet using nokia pc suite7.0.8.2 (one touch access) an error message pops up "unable to connect to the speified device make sure the modem is configured properly" but i can easily connect to internet via bluetooth   other functions like file manager , contacts , messages and back up can be accessed by using the CA-53 cable

    I called a vw dealership (in South Australia) today because I have an iphone5 and a Tiguan and experienced the same thing (after i had purchased the lightening/30pin adapter).
    I was advised that the media interface software is not compatible with iphone5.  VW will eventually update the software according to ol'mate at the dealership, but it will be at an expense to the consumer allegedly.
    I know that there is a iphone/vw media cable one can purchase from VW however, I believe this to only work with iphone4 or older?
    Maybe try an older generation ipod to use for the car if all ur music is in itunes?
    if anyone can correct me, I'd be more than happy to know... going to try my older generation ipad and see if there is any truth to the tale.... eventually.  Until then i'll stream via bluetooth :-)

  • Nokia 5800 - Unable to connect WLAN

    Im trying to connect my Nokia 5800 to my network at home via the WLAN. I'm using a netgear DG834PN with Security Option WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key). I have already disabled the security code once but i got the same error message. Any tips?
    Unable to connect
    No WLAN network find

    ok i also have the same problem before to but now to connect your phone to the computer by using the usb cable you must first go to "setting"--"connectivity"--then change the mode to "mass storage" or "data storage" after that your will be fine...i hope it work for you all  

  • Nokia N97 -- Unable to connect to Wifi?

    Hi,
    Ever since I got my Nokia N97 (Software vers: 12.1.024), I have been unable to connect it to Wifi. Under connectivity, it only gives me the option to add a 'packet data' access point, nothing else.
    Any reason why/way to remedy this?
    It also is unable to connect to my provider's 3G network -- my friend who has a N97 and is on the same network as I am has no problem doing so.

    Do you have the RM-506 China version? This version has no WLAN or 3g.

  • Nokia N85 unable to connect to Ovi Suite

    I am unable to connect my nokia n85 through usb for Ovi suite and also the Nokia Download program. Whenever i connect the cable, it tells me
    "your device is in file transfer connection mode and cannot be used with NOkia Ovi Suite. Quit file tranfer mode from the device if you want to use the device with Nokia Ovi Suite"
    The problem is i have no idea how to do this, and whenever i connect my usb cable my phone asks me which type of transfer method and i always select pc suite, so it shouldnt give me this error.

After installing ovi suite in my PC with windows 7, and updating all the software from nokia support, I am unable to connect my mobile to ovi suite through USB. It says," device does not support (though in phone it shows connected in PC suite mode). Please suggest me with 2 alternative methods so I can use one in failure default. Thank you

  • Nokia 500 unable to connect to Netgear WGR614

    I have installed the Router "Netgear WGR614" and i connected it to 3 systems and one of them is a Wireless Laptop, when i am able to browsing through laptop then why i am unable to browse through my Nokia 500 Phone?
    I have also given the Password but it is keep on saying "Connection failed" why?
    just not when i was at office i was able to connect to another Netgear router, but that router doesnt have a security password.
    thank you.
    Reddy.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey bgautham,
    Welcome to the discussion board!
    As you are able to connect with your device when you are at the office it looks more like a router issue. 
    Have you tried creating a new access point as shown is this video, also make sure that you are inputting the right characters, respecting lower and upper cases.
    You can try resetting your router as some may need a reset to accept a new device connection.
    Hope this helps!

    You have to set up a packet-data (gprs) accesspoint. Contact your service provider or visit their website for the right settings.

    1. For an 8minutes lengthy call using head phone, I felt the phone is heating too much at battery side, please coment on it, if anybody felt so? do i need to go to nokia care?
    2. I bought one Microsoft Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard 6000 when its connecting N8 is asking for passkey, I tried many defferent combinations like "0000", "1111", "1234" etc. but its not passing. From Microsoft help they are saying no need to give any passkey, just press enter within 30sec. Can anybody help me to connect this keyboard to N8, OR, if anybody know any KEYBOARD & MOUSE which can be connected to N8 please tell me.

    Hello again,just tried It at home now...turn your keyboard on and make It flash red/green..then search for it with your N8...when found,select It.then It will ask you to input numbers on your N8 (I typed 1111)then OK,same number on keyboard then enter,then It will ask you to make connection every time,select NO,mine disconnected after a few minutes when selecting YES,but every time I turn the keyboard on It ask for numbers again,and I have discovered that I can  only have 3 devices  securily connected at same time(not nessecerly on at same time), I have headset,mouse and keyboard,so the external numberpad that was with It cannot be used,hope that help you..

  • I am not able to transfer anything from my Nokia to my iphone by bluetooth although it says connected when I transfer it comes up on the Nokia unable to connect. any suggestions?

    I am not able to transfer anything from my Nokia phone to my iphone via bluetooth although it say's connected on the iphone when I try to send it say's UNABLE TO CONNECT on the Nokia, I have restarted the phone but still no luck. any suggestions?

    Two different operating systems.
    It has nothing to do with the phones running different operating systems. Bluetooth is a platform independent standard. It's all due to the different Bluetooth profiles each device incorporates. iPhones do not have the file transfer profile.

  • Unable to connect to WLAN with Nokia N95

    Hi
    Just bought a nokia N95 and I'm unable to connect to the WLAN at my work place. No problem connecting to my home WLAN, and there are no problems connecting my laptop to the workplace WLAN.
    I browse for WLANs and select "Start web browsing", the wlan name comes up find and I select it, but after quite some time I get: "Internet: server not found".
    I've read the other posts about assigning a static IP, but the sysadms here will kill me if I try that. Is there another way of getting this to work? It can't be true that the N95 is so picky with WLAN configurations?
    Jens

    Can you post your question on here with the WLAN AP model name, firmware version and N95 sw version (*#0000#)?
