“Using the mobile internet is a quick & easy
way to find information & entertainment
when you’re on the move”
Voicemail is definitely one of your
mobile phone’s best friends.
When you miss a call, voicemail
records a message and then plays
it back later.
Unfortunately, it’s not always
convenient for you to listen to your
messages. Some places are too loud,
some are too quiet – and sometimes
you simply don’t have a pen handy!
The mobile internet has been designed to fit the screen of a mobile phone,
offering you a wide range of essential services when you need them. When you
access the mobile internet using 3, you’ll be able to take advantage of impressive
third-generation information and entertainment services. Simply use the 4-way
Navigation key to scroll around the screen and then make your selection:
