Telstra T96 mobiles

Got a T96 becos it is said to work better in bush and can be connected to an external antenna to improve reception.

It came (like so many electronic things) with NO instructions whatsoever, even on such a basic thing as how to take the back off and how to insert the sim card. The diagram about this inside the phone is wrong and the sim won't work.

OK, I'll Google the manual, download it and away I go. Well, no. There appears NOT to be a T96 manual on the net. Anyone out there got a T96 and has managed to find a manual?

Cheers, Tony

Chris may be a man of few words, but they're the right ones! And in 3 minutes, too. I am impressed and very grateful. Well done that man!

Cheers, Tony

 Tony, YES!!! There is a manual available but not easy to find it on the net.

If you are still after one, send me a pm with you email and I can email the manual to you. It is in a PDF format.

Regards

Daryl

Thanks Daryl, but I do have one now (see earlier in thread). But I agree, it is NOT easy to find!
I'm about to try usuing the phone with a Kogan sim, which could be interesting . . .

Cheers, Tony
