Installing TalkByText on the Nokia 9300

This page explains how to download and install TalkByText Mobile Edition on the Nokia 9300 Communicator.

Using the phone's web browser to download TalkByText

The easiest way to install the program is by downloading it directly to the phone using the phone's own web browser. First of all start the web browser which is in the media folder on the desktop:

Running TalkByText Mobile Edition for the first time

When you first start the application you will be asked permission for it to access the network. Select "Yes":

Next, the application needs to send a registration SMS message. It will again ask for permission to do that. If you want to be able to use TalkByText Mobile Edition, you will need to say "Yes". You will be billed for sending this SMS message, most users pay around 20p, but this can differ depending on your price plan:

When the message is sent, the main window will appear (see picture) with the message "Requesting new account". Do not exit the program now otherwise you will not be able to use TalkByText Mobile Edition.

After a while, when registration has been completed, the "Ready" screen will appear and TalkByText Mobile Edition is now ready to be used. You may be asked again to allow a connection to the network and, if so, you should say "Yes".

Setting the connection permissions

If TalkByText Mobile Edition keeps asking for permission to connect to the network, you can change the connection permissions. To do this, you will need to start the Application Manager, which you will find in the Control Panel of your Communicator under the Data Management folder:
