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...

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

Re: Question on Mobile
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,
John.

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