Although, with some mordern smartphones like Nokia S60 V5 (N97, 5800, E5, N96, E7, E6, C6) amongst others, it is not neccessary that you initiate OTA configuration settings by message or any means, once the service provider SIM card is inserted, the phone automatically looks for the available data services and downloads the settings and set them to their appropriate defaults.Meanwhile, with the other smartphones that do not have the functionality briefly explained above, you are either notified by SMS that your phone supports the OTA configuaration and the settings would be sent to your phone for you to save before you start browsing the internet. Or, initiate the OTA configuration by message.

"internet nokia N70"
and send it in an SMS to 232.
