Changing GPRS settings to vodafone

[Guest hotlatte]

I want to use GPRS for surfing but i want to change the GPRS to vodafone as i have a vodafone contract with free GPRS data bundle.

Does anyone know how i can go by doing that as currently it is all set to ORANGE DEFAULT.

Cheers.

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=4861 has the Vodafone settings.

On a C500,

Start --> Settings --> More --> Data Connections --> Menu --> Edit Connections etc etc.

If it's wrong, it simply won't work. I used the GPRS settings on Vodafone no problems. IIRC the MMS settings didn't work, but it was some time ago that I did it - probably just wasn't enabled on that account. (Wasn't my phone.)

As for legit? Absoluetly no idea - I'm not a lawyer, just some ordinary bloke. 8)

The only problem is that it asks for the primary and 2ndry DNS for which i donot have option for on SPV when i go in to edit the settings. Any ideas!!!!! :roll:

So u think if asked vodafone to send me the sim update i.e gprs setting to the phone will work?

Which SPV do you have?

I only ever once asked a provider to send settings to my phone. It installed so much guff, I vowed never to do it again - so I do it manually now. It was a bit like installing the AOL suite of software on a PC. ;)

Start --> Settings --> More --> Data Connections --> Menu --> Edit Connections --> GPRS Connections --> Menu --> Add

You should have the following fields:

Description

Connect to

Access Point

User name

[scroll down]

Password

Primary DNS

Secondary DNS

IP address

What do you see instead?

I have added a new gprs vodafone connection but orange settings and connections are still visible..when i try to go to internet explorer it does not connect and gives the error message " Unable to connect verify you have the network coverage".

Mind you the coverage is fine.

Do i now need to remove orange connections ?

Do i also need to add wap settings?

Please help

You don't actually "need" to, but if you're not going to be using the phone on Orange, then I would get rid of them and anything else "Orange-esque" lying around.

I'm doing my best. ;)

Open up IE --> Menu --> Options --> Connections

Try this: Remove the tick from the box and set "select network" to "The Internet". If that doesn't work, try putting the tick back in see what gives.
