Well I went there & tried that thing to restrict outgoing calls but couldn't succeed. I mean it asks me for a password which I don't have. Although I had bought this mobile brand new.
Can u tell me a way to restrict the outgoing calls , or a way to get that password ?

Reg blurry photos -
You have to keep the phone perfectly still while you take the picture. The picture is actually taken while you hear the click, so don't be too quick and think the picture is taken as soon as you hear the click. You have to continue and hold the phone still a second more after the "click" is heard.
Reg screen -
if you want a nicer display I recommend K500i and others which have a TFT screen. The phone is not aimed at people who are used to TFT technology; more to people who have not had a camera phone before and probably this is also their first phone with a colour display.

Hi,
Thanks for the trick. I had bought the mobile pin-packed new , so I don't know its password.
However, I went to CHANGE PASSWORD & their entered a password of my own . but it gave me an error like " CHANGE PASSWORD COMMAND ERROR " so what does this mean ?

Hi Matt,
The K300a works in Europe on the 1800/1900 bands. If you will work in the UK in larger cities you can use the K300a. But be prepared that on roads between cities etc you might get cut off. But, this is normal behaviour in the US, isn't it? ;o)
K300a and K300i/c differ in that K300a also uses the GSM 850 band while the K300i/c uses the GSM 900 band instead.
The 1800 and 1900 bands are mainly used by operators in cities and highly populated areas where they can benefit of the use of the higher bands (higher number of cells/base station).
The lower bands (850 and 900) have better coverage but one runs the risk of getting cut off in cities due to lack of free cells. The phone automatically jumps to the the best bands.
The same thing also works the other way around with the K300i in the USA. I have used it extensively in the US on business trips.
Cheers/C

Hi guys, I'm planning to buy this superb phone in a few weeks, but first I want to know if the K300a works in Europe as I'll be traveling monthly to the UK. Thanks.

To Taimur,
Settings, Calls tab, manage calls, restrict calls, all outgoing, activate.
That comes up as a password acceptance screen, if you have a password that might work it?

bernardt,
uploading of mp3 tones etc to K300 can be done:
a) via mms or wap (most expensive and almost only used when buying ringtones via phone)
b) via infra red port to PC (most laptops have this have IR port. This is inclued in phone)
c) via cable (extra accessory DCU-11 is needed) through bottom connector and USB at PC.
Please read further down and the next pages for more extensive information.

Please explain, Upaul...
There is actually no Sony Ericsson model just called K300... one can see model name on the sticker under the battery on the frame (next to sim card when inserted)
There are only 3 versions of the K300 model (besides operator branded, but these vary only with branding and software):
1) K300a - a 850/1800/1900 band version made for the Americas (a)
2) K300c - a 900/1800/1900 band version made for China (c)
3) K300i - a 900/1800/1900 band version made for the rest (International market - i).
Difference between sets is only software between K300i and K300c.
The difference between K300i (and K300c) and K300a is that the K300a is made specifically for the 850 band used in South and North America. Other functionality is the same.
There are also differences in various keypads for different languages.
