I bought an unlocked white Lumia 920 through Best Buy's website. I'm running on an AT&T MVNO (Pure TalkUSA). I was surprised to see that the phone was from Telstra in Australia. (There's no branding on the face of the phone, but part of the bootup sequence includes a screen with a big "T"; and some documentation in the box and About Phone confirm that it was originally meant for Telstra.)
Am I going to have any issues with this? So far there have been two problems:
The only other thing is that the phone uses Australian spellings (e.g. "favourites"), even after I switched to US English. This doesn't bother me, but I was surprised the spelling didn't change to match the language change.
I just received this phone last week, so I still have time to return it and try again. Should I? What's everyone's experience with something similar to this?
Thanks.
Am I going to have any issues with this? So far there have been two problems:
- I had to switch the region from the US to Australia to get a Nokia app update to download and install (Extras + Info, or Care, I think). (I then switched back to US.)
- I cannot send MMS messages, nor do I receive the attached file of an incoming MMS message. Instead I get the "Get media content now" link, which does nothing. It seems this is a widespread problem, so I'll need to read up on it.
