Hi,
I`m gonna be buying a refurb hero from 3 to use my 3 contract sim in, I had delayed as wanted to be able to update to 2.1, but after seeing this thread, don`t need to delay any longer.
A couple of questions for people who are on 3 and have done this:
1) When it's done, are the internet and mms settings for 3 wiped? If so, do I just get 3 to send me a text with the settings?
2) I assume I`m best doing this when I first get the phone, so I`ve nothing to back up, would i be right?
3)Am I best having the sim I will be using in the phone(contract) when I do it, or should I keep the PAYG sim in it. Or does it not make any difference?
4) If I debrand the phone, do I lose much functionality? I presume I need to use regular skype, and it will come out of my data allowance. But I presumably also lose the bloated planet 3 and all that rubbish. lol
Thanks for a really clear instructions in this thread.
