username and password for connection then UN-check this box, this is purely a means of
convenience.

If you have changed the phone number you will be presented with the below dialog box, if you
are now sure the number is correct click Yes.
If you did not receive this its because you did not change the phone number which is fine if

the connection process, which should end in you being connected to the Internet.
