Got spv c500 and using my vodafone contract sim in it. Still cannot get the gprs to work to get online as it gives an error message.

"Unable to connect. Verify you have network coverage and try again".

Can someone who knows about it help please

I fixed this by installing the QTEK rom rom and then the CAB file also found on the forums

Do you get a top centre G displayed on the phone when it's switched on ?

Are you contract or prepaid ?

What APN/username/password have you used in the GPRS connection data ?

Delete all the existing dialup, GPRS and Proxy connections and then re-enter the standard O2 PAYG settings.

Try this setup ;)

Hi mate it seems to be working fine at the moment i manged to log onto the website basically, the default ones as you know are orange ones so may need to change them to what i need them to be. Many thanks for this one.

When i attempt to connect it asks me "Unable to find the default connect would you like to connect through vodafone" I click on Yes and lets me in ok

Apparently, msn is taking ages to sign in..Is that normal.

Also, ho can i clear the cache?

Many thanks

found out that my msn doesnt work. when i try to sign in it tries to do it with wap. i think msn it meant to be used with gprs so that u only pay per message sent/recieve. can anyone help?

MSN Messenger doesn't work with o2 payg GPRS as they have limitations in place. You would need a contract sim with o2 GPRS Internet (mobile web).

Hi Martin,

I've been following this thread in order to get my phone set up to access the net, msn & mms messages using a Vodafone sim. I've got everything set up as you've pointed out in your threads linked in the above quote and your instructions in the above quote also. My Internet connects fine first time, my msn logs straight in but i just cannot seem to get the mms msgs working. I've had 3 people send me mms's yet i've only got one showing in my inbox, the other 2 have been sent but i've never recieved them? The one that did come through says i've got to hit 'send/recieve' again to dl the pic attatched, i do this and everytime...everytime i get a msg sayin 'unable to place call, please check network coverage and try again' now i'm guessing if i can access the net & msn then i should be able to get an mms through (the 2 mms msgs that haven't come through are showing delivered on the other peoples phones?) I'm fresh out of ideas on how to proceed....Any suggestions?

Thanks
