» BT Mobile Technology - Automatic Handset Detection

For all new BT Mobile customers with new handsets, the required settings for WAP (GPRS) and MMS will be automatic.

BT Mobile SIM Cards carry a fantastic piece of technology called ‘Change Handset Detection’ which is enabled as standard. This automatic handset detection, uses a new function of the SIM that allows it to detect a change in IMEI number which triggers a prompt to the user. It picks up both NEW and swapped handsets!

The automated message gives the user a choice to download new settings for the handset either now or later (later meaning at the next switch on).
If the user chooses to download the settings a background SMS is automatically sent communicating the customers relevant details (MSISDN and TAC code). There is a response within minutes with the correct settings SMS for that handset. All the customer has to do is save/store them (as prompted) and they are up and running straight away.
