If your mobile handset does not support Over The Air (OTA) transmission, this guide will help you save Ooredoo settings for using Picture Messaging and Ooredoo Zone, manually on your mobile handset.

To check if your handset supports Over The Air (OTA) transmission:

  • Send an SMS with the word ‘all’ to 1501.
  • Three settings will be sent to your mobile handset.
  • Save the settings. Your mobile handset now supports Over The Air (OTA) transmission.

If you did not receive the settings, or you receive a message saying that your mobile handset can not be configured automatically, you will need to program the settings manually.
