FAQs
| Operating system | This phone
uses the Symbian Operating
System. To check the version number, type *#0000# The handset can be upgraded to the latest version of the operating system at approved Nokia Service Centres. Online upgrades are not available. |
| Accessories? | There's
a wide range of accessories, including spare batteries, cases, chargers,
in-car kits, hands-free units, data cables and fascias, available at Carphone
Warehouse and MobileShop. If you're looking for authentic Nokia spares and accessories, use the Nokia UK Store. |
| Email from your 6260 | If you're looking to use your phone for sending and receiving e-mail, consider taking out an account with free provider, BT Yahoo. For details of connectivity, see our Series 60 Getting Connected section. |

| How do I install software? |
For help on this subject, see our Series 60 FAQ |
| How do I connect to my PC? |
|
| Alternative connectivity software | Rather than the software that came as standard with the phone, there's a rather useful third-party application called Oxygen II - This application supports Contacts, Calendar, Messaging and file management. |
| Hotmail and AOL access? |
Hotmail and AOL use proprietary email systems,
as opposed to the more common POP email systems - this makes it tricky to access mail on a Series 60 device. For email on the move,
consider using a standard POP3 provider such as BT Yahoo (see setup details) that offers free email accounts that can be configured on a Series 60 phone. |
| Can I use the 6260 in the States? | Yes. It's a tri-band phone operating on EGSM900/1800 (Europe, Africa, Asia Pacific), and GSM1900 (USA, Canada, South America). There should be no problem using this phone with network operators in these countries. Roaming restrictions from your network operator may prevent use of some services in other countries. |
| Receive faxes on your mobile | If you
need to receive faxes, but don't have access to a fax machine, consider
Mobile Fax - this is a small application for Series 60 phones
that supports sending and receiving of faxes. For more details of
this clever package, see Mobile Fax Alternatively check out how you can send and receive faxes by email, with efax.com. |
| Data conversion | For help with information on converting your Contacts, Calendar and documents for viewing on your phone, see our Conversion page for some general guidance. |

What's
my phone's serial number? |
