Question on Mobile
 

Don't know if anyone can help with this but I bought a used Movistar Motorola mobile and I can'not for the life of me figure out how to set the clock.

Secondly does anyone now the number you dial to get your balance, I thought it was *133 or 133* but niether work

Thanks

Can't think what phone it is off the top of my head. Go in to menu and click on Phone settings. Scroll down and you should find Clock settings or Date settings. Click on set Clock...

Hope this helps...

Valid until 11.11.2006 (or whatever date is shown - this means that your Movistar PAYG phone will be active until the date shown without any need for any further topping up) . ONE FREE REQUEST for balance per day. Any others are charged at 15 centimos.


OK :beer:

You should be able to change the language setting on the phone itself, even if any messages you receive from Movistar will still be in Spanish.

Just spend some time going through all the menu options - it'll be under something like phone settings -> language. Cambio Lengua or something.

I did switch to language to English and 333 is the correct number

Hi josephina,

Thats exactly what I have just done. I actually ordered my SIM online from Telephonica and it was delivered here to my Uk address within 5 days.

I set the phone up and activated it in Faro terminal then made my first call which completed my subscription as we crossed the Guadiana bridge into Spain and the phone picked up a Movistar base station.

The only caveat is that your mobile must be "unlocked" which can be done for £10 in UK but if you buy the SIM over the counter they may throw that in.

Regards, :) :)

Hello
thanks for that info
when you say 'buy one over the counter' do you mean in Spain or in England?
