Once Stuart suggested that the connect might only work on the 900mhz=20
band I read the manual again and indeed at the end under technical=20
specifications it does indeed state that it is restricted to the single=20
900mhz band. The really irritating thing is that the salesman assured me=20
it would work with any! and I ended up wasting =A330 and many hours of my=
=20
time

Have you managed to get the Targasys feature working? the manual states=20
that a setup code is required but I do not appear to have been given=20
one, though I am fairly certain I have read somewhere, although I cannot=20
recall where at the moment, that 1 years subscription to Targasys=20
services was included when the Connect system was bought.
