Hi all. I have a Samsung SGH-U600 mobile phone and since I need some
money I'm selling it. However I want to delete all the photos,videos
and other files I've stored on it. Rather than having to go through
and delete each file individually is there any process by which I can
delete everything in one go? I'm thinking along the lines of the
process called disc format in computing which allows you to delete all
the info on a computer with one simple commmand.
Also on this model of phone does anyone know how to remove the sim?
Because in previous models of phone I've owned removing the sim has
been simple, all you had to do was open the cover on the back of the
phone and take the sim out. But in this model of phone I can't seem to
find how to open the phone to remove the sim.
Finally,this pohone used to be on a Virgin monthly contract,but I
think the new owner of the phone want to be on a different network,so
how do I remove the Virgin tie-in?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Bye.

Search Google for "Samsung codes" or "secret codes", there's one
*#....# which is 'factory reset'

Thanks Da, I'll search tomorrow, but in the meantime if anyone knows
the exact codes,then please tell me. Bye.

I'd like to understand the routing involved in connecting from my mobile
phone to an 0870 number. My belief is as follows:
My mobile connects to the local (Orange) mast which routes the signal
to the local Orange digital switch via copper/fibre. This switch
recognises that I want a landline so it connects me to the nearest BT
Trunk exchange (rather than the local BT exchange used by landlines).
The Trunk exchange switch recognises that this needs special processing
and so passes the call through to the special 08** processing systems
(for special charging/routing etc) which then route the call to the
destination local exchange switch via the BT Trunk.

Or does the call stay on the Orange network until it gets close to the
08** system?

Or am I completely wrong?


Does anyone know where I could look at any diagrams that illustrate
this routing?

That's basically correct AIUI, but you should realise that the control of a 
call is completely separate from the path the voice actually takes, and the 
most effective route can vary.

In principle, the Orange mast could, for example, query a computer in New 
York to discover the destination of the 0870 number, discover it's part of a 
range that is actually owned by Orange, discover that the number is 
currently diverted to an orange mobile that's on the same mast as the 
originator and route the voice traffic directly to that mobile. Obviously, 
call quality will be better (less delay) and cheaper (at least for the 
network operator).

In practice, when calls pass between different operators something like you 
describe is still more likely to happen, but if you imagine the network as 
one big VoIP switch, that's the way things are moving.

   That is pretty close to what happens.  Orange *might* try and work
out from the number dialed the best route from their exchanges to the
'best' BT exchange.  Also, if the 0870 number happened to belong to
someone other than BT, and Orange happened to have a direct
interconnect to that company, then they might hand it over via that
link.

          Harry.

I'd suggest that the gorey details are best left up to Orange, and
the real answer to "How does Orange connect to an 0870 number?" is:
"Expensively".

Unless you're on one of the legacy Talk tariffs, where they were 'part' 
of the inclusive minutes...!

Thanks Phil. Its the actual practice that I'm most interested in. In
particular, is a call from a mobile to a BT 0870 number likely to
bypass the 'local' BT exchange that is local to the mobile switch in
favour of using one nearer the exchange with the 0870 number. Does it
necessarily have to use the BT Trunk?

   The normal practice would be for the mobile carrier to hand over BT
0870 calls to a DMSU or NGS switch, rather than a 'local' switch
(DLE).  And you need to realize that 0870 numbers may not actualy
'live' on a particular exchange.

   As there are no 'distance elements' for costs on 0870 calls it
would be up to the mobile carrier where they handed such calls over.

  And all this could change with 21CN.

   Regards,
          Harry.

AIUI, a mobile cell will only have a connection to its own switch,
wherever that may be located (in a similar way to a landline which is
connected to its own switch), never to the nearest BT switch.

I worked in Salisbury many years ago connecting what seemed to be
endless megastreams to what I think was a (then) cellnet switch that
served i imagine a large part of southern England

I would like to know the System X hierarchy with regard to which DLSUs
are connected to which DMSU in the North East of England. I'm aware
that this information is available to BT wholesale customers in the
NIPP documentation. Can someone please extract the relevant data for
me.

Thanks....Bernie

  The snag is that those of us who have access to the NIPP agree not
to publish such data.

   If you have a need to know, or need to access the NIPP then you
need to talk to your TAM.
