Ok big question question. I just got the Nokia 5100 from fido and when i turn on the phone there is fido writing on the main screen that says "FIDO" "www.fido.ca" is there anyway to get this erased?? I am pretty sure you have to hack into the phone but i dont know how and i tried searching for it on the net but no luck. any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

go to bongowireless.ca
call them,

ask them,

probably for a price u can because that guy is cheap..no offense,
but if u really want it off you will pay for it right..yeah lol

 

Try *#3001#12345# or something liek that, its in a NAM setting i believe.

 

for my phone the nokia 5120 its *3001#12345# it will go to to another menu
click on

NAM 1

it will go to a new menu go down to PSID/RSID lists,

click it

new menu click on

P/RSID 1
(NEW MENU)

scroll down to

Alpha tag

select it and change it to what u want

then turn phone off and then on again.

hope this helps

 

Could also be the banner setting............ that's located in SETTINGS.

 

its not that kent but thanks anyway

 

there are forums on Nokia's site that may help you figure it out... also there are prolly FAQs too that should cover it.

 

i tried the nokia site. didnt help one bit. maybe i should go to pacmall to see if someone there knows what to do to it???

 

did u try my way yet ?

 

(our) way none the less.. lol.. i don't have my old nokia anymore, so i forgot that code.

 

ok sorry

did u try OUR way yet

it works for the rogers phones not sure if it works for the fido phones.

give it a try anyways.

if after the *3001#12345# it doesn't go to a new menu that means it doesn't work.

 

where do i punch this code in??

i need details i have never done this before

 

just punch it in like a phone number

 

yeh like a phone number, then go into the NAM1 settings. Then follow the step by step instructions by Venomous_1

 

i just type that in nothing else??

 

yup

 

Yep, if it pulls up a new menu it worked. Then follow the instructions. Else it doesn't work.

 

damn it didnt do anything.

 

just type in *3001#12345# and then follow the instructions i gave out in the earlier post.

and that should do it. JUST DON"T FIDDLE WITH ANYTHING ELSE YOU MAY MESS UP YOUR PHONE i learned that the hard way took me a couple days to make it work again hahah.

just follow the steps and you will be fine.

 

ok so fido is different then sorry about that. i guess the 12345 part is different from the rogers phones.
