Daniel Juhn is the prick who sold me the barred (in UK) SE P800 on e-bay.
Posted here previously about this.
He suggested to me that I try to re-sell on e-bay (knowing that it is
barred);  shows the sort of low life scum that he is.

Received a letter from Optus stating that from 01/11/2004 Optus
Business customers will be charged a port-out fee of $8.80 when
porting to "another carrier".
This would suggest that porting to an Optus Service Provider does not

Wondering if some wizard out there knows whether I can do the following on
this handset:
1. totally remove the operator logo (whether an imported one, or just the
word Telstra itself); and

My phone recently stopped holding charge. When not in use it lasts maybe

1) Prepaid card with long or no expiry of credits

I thought channel 505 was Optus's cell broadcast channel?
I cant get my XDAII to read them

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But lastnight i had a missed

the number of the caller and time.

Just wondering if the 'Cell Names' that appear on some phones, using the GSM

For example, go Telstra near the south end of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, and
the phone will say "Coathanger". Yet on the bill it just says 'Sydney CBD'.
