Hi guys,
I've just got a sim free W995 and am loving it except I cant download things from planet 3.
I'm looking in particular for the email on 3 application and msn messenger but when I go to download them, it says operation failed after trying for 2-3 secs.
Does anyone know if this is because it is a non-3 handset or there is another reason?
Is there any where else I can download these particular apps from or else whats the best way to get them from planet 3?
Thanks in advance! |

If you have debranded the 3 Applications would be gone.

I havent debranded, the phone was sim free when i got it.
I can get onto planet three from mobile.three.co.uk while using the 3 internet connection (this wont work on any other connection) but am unable to download new applications from there.....
hope that makes it a bit clearer |

Best thing would be to debrand your phone.

He already said it is sim-free so it is already debranded. |

the 3 firmware contains certificates which allow you to download those applications, phones without the 3 firmware wont have the required certificates to download the applications. It will also be the same if you try to download games from planet 3. I used to work for 3 and this always frustrated me as we got a staff sim with free calls etc and free downloads but as I was using an unbranded phone I could not make use of these downloads
Your best bet is to have a search and see if anyone has hacked the files to not check for the security certificate.

Unlocked(Sim-Free) does not imply it is debranded,

Title says debranded though

The phone is on o2 contract without any branding... Does this make a difference to the certificates you were talking about with 3? I can't find any of those apps anywhere. Any ideas? |

yes only the 3 specific firmware has the relevant certificates to allow you to download msn and games etc for planet 3. I think skype can be downloaded without the 3 firmware on the phone. Cant remember which things you can and cant get now. Its over a year since I stopped working for them

I've got the W995 on Orange and want to put the "3" firmware on it so my daughter can use it on MSN for free (cant get MSN at moment without paying for it, 3 gives it free), anyone know best place to get 3 firmware?
Thanks for any help |
