Both of those look spot on, cheers chaps  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Click the large button with the blue 'circle' to the left of the central navigational buttons...this brings up the 'menu' screen....go to 'tools' folder...then 'settings'....then 'phone'...scroll down to 'Network'...then select 'Network mode' ..it gives you the option to switch from 'dual mode' to just 'GSM'...select GSM and click OK 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

First time you use GPS (Maps) you are best to just switch the programme on and leave the phone on your windowsill or better still, a table in the garden (keypad open). It can take up to half an hour to make the first satellite lock. Once you've done this, the next time might take a couple of minutes and it seems to get progressively shorter, although if you turn on the GPS a fair way from the last location it will take a couple of minutes to find itself again.
If it won't lock on after 30 minutes turn the screensaver off and try again. Some software versions get a bit tetchy about the screensaver. If you're struggling with this, chuck it at your son and he'll have it running in minutes.... after all, kids were only invented so they could programme the video recorder, right?  I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Thanks NoDo$h, must've been me that's far too impatient. Works a real treat now

This is of course if the network provider doesn't force you permanently (whilst in coverage) onto the 3G network....
they do this to relieve congestion on the 2G network, be it signalling or traffic congestion.
It's also a marketing ploy, as at some time in the future the 2G network will cease to be and we'll only have 3G/4G to use:wink:

Nice one Alan
Rogue, how very cynical of you I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

And if you have N95 on 3 network, the option to use GSM only is removed from the settings menu.... D3 XS Manual - gone

well thanks guys for all the help......I like the 95 - still getting to grips with it, but interface wise a vast improvement over my faithful old communicator...but much more delicate !!!! It seems to be refusing to automatically pair with the D3 at the moment, any ideas ?

Possibly you have not set the LAND ROVER as authorised after pairing.
Once you have the car on the list of paired devices, select it, press Options, and Set as authorised. Then it should connect immediately after you open the car (of course phone needs to have Bluetooth switched on ) D3 XS Manual - gone

Do you have 08MY car? I think only such cars' PTI can "see" paired phone's phonebook/contacts list. In all older cars the phonebooks are separate and unfortunately it is not possible to copy...., the car's phonebook needs to be input manually 
Have you tried just use numeric keys on the left of center console to dial the number? This should work, or just start the call from the phone... then put it down, talking via "hands free"
What about incoming calls - you should be able to answer via the phone buttons on the left hand side on the steering wheel...

No cradle for the N95 I'm afraid ...but mine works perfectly once paired
BTW ...here is a link for some fantastic nav software for the N95
