You probably already got an answer for that, but I was looking through and I saw your question.

I live in Ireland also, and I have this phone as well. I have 2 sims on it: meteor and O2, and both works great. Is it an old sim you have?

Also are you sure your phone is genuine? there is lots of fakes around.

let me know if you have any queestions and good luck

Its not a great phone compared to 400 dollar phones. But compared to 70 dollar phones its great. Keep it in perspective. Your not locked into a contract.

T-Mobile.com http://tmobileuspublic.wdsglobal.com/ and followed the directions – Manufacture CECT P168P – I did this 2x once for MMS and 2nd for WAP. T-Mobile sent me a SMS with an install link for both. I installed WAP and MMS. Both work great.

Once you waste endless hours online figuring out what you actually bought, the phone is 5.5 out of 10. The SMS text qwerty keyboard is about an inch and half wide so if your vision is crap don’t bother texting. You have to use a stylus as long as a tweezer to poke your message one letter at a time making texting a nightmare. Just sending a stupid text requires 3 steps. 1 type your message 2 if need to use numbers you have to write them on the screen with the stylus and they show up one at a time. The Chinese have no use for English numerals lol. 3 hit send….no wait there is no send button, wtf you say? just hit “Sim Done” and viola! you sent a text. Now receiving a text, that’s even easier. Since the p.o.s firmware doesn’t truly translate all of your contacts over to your poor mans iphone it will say “received SMS from 12563256″. So you hit the sms icon…nothing, you touch the screen… nothing. You have cancel the message, glide to unlock, select sms, select sim 1 or 2, select inbox and viola! you can read your text!! All my friends think I hate them because I don’t respond instantly.

Well…there is nothing instant about this phone unless you have the special Chinese SIM card that activates 75% of the non working apps. The apps that do work: The calculator,the world clock, settings, 3 of the 10 games and media player which by the way lags the sound and video lags so bad it’s like watching a kung fu movie. Oh did I forget to mention the 6 inch awesome top hat guy that dances on your screen the whole time your listening to an MP3. Again, save your money and buy a regular phone or go to http://www.mysciphoneshop and buy a Javquisoft firmware I68 the rest are just fake fakes like a transvestite with breast implants
