15. Try setting SMS to GPRS instead of GSM.  Press 'Message', 'Setup', 'Common Settings', 'Bearer Selection' and select GPRS.  You may find your SMS being sent out in a fraction of a second, quite cool.  Please note that this may not work with all phones or networks.  If it doesn't work for you, just set back to GSM.

2. Installing EasyGPRS

Install EasyGPRS in your PC. It should be in the CD Rom supplied with your set.  Connect the cable provided to either ComPort 1 or 2. Run EasyGPRS and setup to the relevant ComPort 1 or 2.

If you do not have the CD Rom, you can get EasyGPRS from here : Samsung Fun Club.  Also the S300 cable model number is PCB093LBE.

Set speed to either 57600 or115200.  Reboot PC. Connect S300 to cable. Start up EasyGPRS which should then detect the phone.

Lots you can do with it! Download free ringtones from the internet and upload to your S300, get your own digital pics to the phone as wallpaper or screensavers, backup and edit your phonebook and SMS messages.
