Guest Vector Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I think that if you do a search on google you should find them, I think that's what the people wanting T mobile, O2 etc. did :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 We need a definitive source on this. Edit : Perhaps a thread in Articles with those settings we know are correct. We could add, and update, as we went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ^JP^ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I still cant get it working even after finding some GPRS settings for vodafone. My dad has a Panasonic GD87 and i put my SIM card in that and it would not connect to Vodafone live!, i then put his in my SPV and at the top of the screen in the middle of the bar there is a G symbol (which there was not with my sim card) but still i cant get it to connect to vodafone live or any thing else. Do i need a new SIM card aslwell as the right settings? please help as one of the main things i got this phone for was internet/email/msn !!

Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 You need GPRS activated for your SIM it sounds like, PLUS the right settings for the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Can you post those GPRS setting here, by the way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Can you post your settings here, hmshah? We will tell you where the various bits go in the phone. Thanks, in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hmshah Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 hi Syvwlch thanks for reply. The settings for voda GPRS are: Profile Name: Vodafone GPRS User name: [email protected] Password: Password APN: wap.vodafone.net Homepage: http://wap:1999/vodafone.wml Data: GPRS Security Mode OFF IP Address: 212.183.137.012 Linger Time: 120 seconds And can you please tell me how i can input the forward slash // on my spv. And thank you :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Notice how those are just slightly different from the ones from AOL, ^JP^? The Access Point is wap.vodafone.net, not wap.vodafone.co.uk ... As the username also ends in .net, in both profiles, I'm tempted to think hmshah's is the correct one. Can you check your father's phone to see if perhaps this is the case? This might even explain why his SIM is not working in your phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hmshah Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Yes, JPs settings seem different. I called singlepoint today and their technical service guy told me all the settings and i double checked them. So they are correct. can you tell me how i can enter them in my phone please? and also how i can input the forward slash as i dont know what key brings it up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Ok, here goes : Go to Programs>Settings>Data Connections Click Menu (right soft key under screen),select Edit Connections and click. Click on GPRS Connections, then Menu, and then Add. Type in the following information : Description: Vodafone GPRS Connects to : "The Internet" Access Point : wap.vodafone.net User name: [email protected] Password: Password Primary DNS : blank Seconday DNS : blank IP Address : blank or 212.183.137.012 (you'll have to try both) Click on Done. You will be back in GPRS Connections. Click on Done again (Connections), and Done once more (Data Connections). Scroll down to Internet Connection and then sideways until you select "Vodafone GPRS". Click Done again, and again, and then Home (same button). This should be good for GPRS connection anyway. The other parameters are probably not important : IP Address: 212.183.137.012 Port : Homepage: http://wap:1999/vodafone.wml Data: GPRS Security Mode OFF Linger Time: 120 seconds Oh, and to enter a forward slash you press and hold the "#" key, then select it, and click on it. It's at the end of the second row of symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I hope those are good, and the instructions clear. Give it a whirl, and tell us how it went. I'll be off line for a bit, but I'll check in later tonight. If the settings are good you get to paste them in the repository :) in the articles section.

Guest hmshah Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 thanks syvwlch, gave the settings a try but still no luck, doesnt connect, can u help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I'm sure you have, but just to be sure : you've tried ^JP^'s settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Oh, and the presence of the G at the top only garantees that you have GPRS coverage, not that your SIM is enabled for GPRS, nor that the network is up and has capacity to accept your call. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ^JP^ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 nope those settings dont work for me ither! with my sim or my dads (if it only means i have GPRS coverage why do i only get it with my dads sim and not mine when holding the phone in exact same location ???) Im going into local phone shop tomorrow to get a new sim card and try and sort out the settings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 I have an Orange SIM here in France which is NOT GPRS enabled. I get a G, and when I send an MMS, it connects by GPRS to do so, but i cannot connect to the internet by GPRS with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ^JP^ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Is your G in the middle of the bar at the top of the screen or to the far right where the signal meter is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Middle of the bar at the top. If I try to connect to the internet, it moves up against the signal meter. A minute late, I get an error message saying it failed to connect. If I send an MMS, same thing, but no error message and the MMS is delivered... eventually :) This is my work SIM... pshhhheeya! Had to buy another one to play with GPRS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ^JP^ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 its strange :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Syvwlch Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Yes. It is. I wish I could do more to help, but as I don't live in the UK and don't have a Vodafone SIM, I can't experiment for myself. Your SIM seems to be unable to do GPRS, tho... I'd never heard that that could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ^JP^ Posted March 11, 2003 Report Share Posted March 11, 2003 Well my dads SIM does GPRS on his GD87 phone but not in my SPV and mine does not do it in ither!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
