Hi Damon, You are just losing and gaining the packet data signal. Please see my previous message for an explanation of packet data. You probably don't want to turn it off if you are using 3G or Packet, but if you do, let me know, and I'll find it and tell you. All the best Steve -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Damon Sent: 31 July 2007 15:16 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] My phone talks rubbish - help! Hi. My talks-enabled Nokia N73 keeps beeping from time to time, sometimes when I'm talking to someone, and other times without real reason. It is occasionally heard to say the following after a beep: "packet data connection active" Can someone tell me what this means and how, if possible, I can turn it off?
