Someone with a T610 could help the guy out? @Gill, then do you have a menu named 'WAP services'? BTW branded means that a network operator messed with your phones firmware. ;-)

Is there a main icon in desktop for internet? It should be in there.

I believe the Sony Ericsson T610 is a phone that can be used by any network, so surely branding would not apply??? |

Yes. Branding is one thing. Using it in all networks is another. There is a diff between branding and locked phones. It can be used by all networks is an unlocked phone.(or one that has never been locked.) Branded phone means you have the operator settings preloaded on the phone.

There is certainly no operator logos on the phone.
When I press the centre button, I get a menu of 12 icons. The top-right icon says "T-Mobile" which is my provider. This connects to WAP automatically. This is what I want to stop as I want it to ask me! The top-middle button says "Internet Services". When I click on that, I get a menu which says, "Sony Ericsson" at the top with Sony Ericsson's logo, then I get a menu of "Search Engine", "Picture Gallery", Online Manual" and "Settings". When I clicn on the "Search Engine" link, it then connects me to WAP but, again, I want it to ask me. |

That is what we call a branded phone.

So if I put in an "Orange" SIM card, would the tp left-hand icon say "Orange" and my phone settings would change to Orange then? |

If it is unlocked, you can make and recieve calls. Not sure of wap though.

If you do not want it to go online at all, you can try to disable wap by deleting the wap-profile. Go to connections (bottom left icon) and then have a look at internet settings and data communication. You could install a new dummy internet account and set it as standard. There are some more threads about his elsewhere.
I have not found a way to let the phone ask if you want to go online. Unfortunately. |

What a headache! Why on earth do operators mess up with good phones?
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units |

It is a pain - I should not have to reinstall the profiles each time I want WAP. Pity there is no option to ask. |
