When I look at the software menu of the phone I see "Online Services" But when I tap it, I get a message "Online Services not available on this SIM"
Also, what is WIM?
Poorly documented p800 features?
I've online services here, it gives you information about your operator's special offers.
About WIM, I don't know 😃
you need a special 32K sim card for this operation to work. most providers give these sim cards these days with many addeded features built in...like checking your bill amount.. a telephone deirectory search service....jokes...ringtones/logos download.....hospital/police/hotel enquiries etc.
Online service is only available when your service provider programmed the same on your SIM card. Else, you got no online service.
Anyone got these services on Vodafone - I haven't got them and wondering whether to moan at them
Ta.
WIM stands for WAP Identity Module and it's for special SIMs that can handle digital signatures - security feature used to access banking, credit card companies and so on to do secure transactions from a mobile phone.
I think Vodafone do have online services but you'd need to get your SIM enabled. I've got it on Orange.
Vodafone do have online services.
If you do not have them, it will be that you have an older SIM;
Vodafone will replace that for you maybe for free or maybe for the "official" price of around �35.
The list of functions is actually mostly stored phone numbers to go and get things like Scoot, or directory enquiries, so you are not missing anything stunning by not having them.
Do any O2 users have this enabled?
I'm with O2, but it just says "Online services are not available on this sim" :-?
So, if say I was to misplace my sim card 😉 would Orange replace it for free? :-?
Where is 'online services'? Same place as WIM? I have WIM but not 'online services'
