Hi, I have a BBCURVE 9360. It is unlocked and I have an orange payasyougo 3g sim in there. for some reason I can’t recieve incoming calls or texts. It says uma(lowercase) there. I have pulled the battery and the sim and also switched off the wifi. I can connect to the net via my home router. The main reason for getting the phone was to be able to access skype when I am out but I can’t even do that through my router at home! Any ideas? I have considered a pay as you go 3 sim but I’m not sure if it will work and don’t want to pay out until I am but when I tried for skype it said I needed a telkomel sim or something althought it downloaded and installed with no fuss. please help I need to be able to use this phone and access skype xxx

Do BT as my broadband provider or my mobile phone provider charge me for making calls/text using UMA?

UMA is situated on my screen, but my bbm doesn’t seem to be working even though I still have the bb sign which means i’m meant to be having bbm. I thought it was because my payment is over but everything else seems to be working fine. I’ve tried taking the battery out and everything. My network is orange if that helps solve anything. Anyone know what my problem is? :S

I’ve just read all the suggestions an decided I would try turn my wifi connection off, my signal was instantly boosted to better then it’s even been with the exception of slightly slower Internet connection!

@Anna you can use UMA to make calls over WiFi – I would check with your service provider to see exactly what they bill for.
