Operator logo will be displayed on the mobile screen.By default it will show operator name ex: Airtel, Hutch..etc. You can display other images or text as operator logo instead of name of operator by installing new logo. There are many web sites providing operator logos, just google it.But what I tend to explain here is removing logo part completely. You might have experienced a problem while using any celebrity wallpapers on your mobile, where logo displayed almost on face of celebrity which is disturbing. You can remove operator logo by installing a blank logo. From your mobile wap browser goto address http://victorynet.de/wap/betreiberlogos.wml and install blank logo. Now goto your phones display settings & check for “Operator Logo” option, set operator logo ON. It makes blank logo as on & displays nothing. If you make it OFF, operator name will be displayed.

Hutch introduced a new service which lets you back-up your data stored on your mobile phone. Through this service you can back-up Phone Book,SMS,MMS,Games,Applications,Ringtones…etc.
This could be help full to back-up all your critical data & you can recover them when you lost handset or changing handset. There are two types of services one for GPRS enabled handsets & another for Non GPRS handsets. In GPRS enabled handsets you can back-up all the data mentioned above,but in Non GPRS handsets you can only back-up Phone Book. To avail this service sms BACKUP to 52585 & follow instructions. Your data will be protected by username & password.
