I've just bought a Nokia 6500 classic which is not on the list and it works with the phonebook etc.

Maybe Land rover should steal a page from Volvo - if you specify their PTI, it is an integrated phone built into the dash, all you need to do is put your simcard into the slot! Solves all the problems of certain phones not working with the car's systems 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

You can get dual Sims but each time you want to change which sim is active you have to dial a code. A bit of a pain. FYI a Blackberry 8100 workks fully with the latest PTI software. One note is that if you have multiple numbers on a contact only the first number listed will work via the car controls. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten

I thought the "no service" message meant "no signal" i.e. your phone has lost connection to the phone network? Also, isn't only Vodafone that offer dual SIMs in the UK? 2009 Outstanding Contribution Award - Joint Runner Up 2009 'Tech-Head Of The Year' Award - Runner Up Like it here? Then Donate to RRSPORT!! |

Well Santa was reasonably nice to me this year, and so was Telefonica... well not actually true... I brought myself a new phone and Telefonica gave me another of my choice... which I paid for in the long run due to high bills making high points !! So I ended up with the LG Prada and Nokia Prism (7500) Anyway... back to the question... Nokia 7500 worked instantly with full phone book, missed calls, call register etc.. all via bluetooth, the LG Prada took me a little working out as to not have the numbers in the phone book stored on the Sim but on the Phone and then that worked fully as well. Steering wheel controls of phone book via Bluetooth is pretty good. So both phones working as they should in the RRS which made me happy to say the least after trying with a number of other previously and giving up on the fact that it wouldnt work without the docking connection. My faith in Land Rover was recharged a litte, I was actually pleasantly suprised. |
