SonyEricsson P990i - VOIP | Thread profile

I'm trying to find some Skype type software (having found out that Skype does not work on the P990i due to it being Symbian) I can load on my P990i but cannot find any. Does anyone know of any?

Presumably you'll want the English version as well..;-) http://my-symbian.com/main/index7.php?cat=7 Master resetting will just take the phone back to the state it was bought in, ie network messed ...

Infrasonic, Thanks. Regarding: "Are you shure the phone hasn't had its IMEI no. blocked?" I've previously popped in a T-mobile SIM and a Virgin mobile SIM and was able to make calls, so I don't think the phone is buggered. awbMaven
